    Most would think it's because i tried to make a sixth finger....

    no i got my name in the eighties when you worked hard and partied even harder (all nite till the sun rose the next day).

    There was a movie going round called 'Dances with Wolves' (that was his Indian name) so one of the guys who was into giving everyone Indian names saw me come to work in morning after a really big night out and the quote was ...'Bleeds thru eyes after big nite out' and so it stuck. Then they started showing 'respect' by calling me 'The Bleeder'.

    The guy who gave me the name is 'Falls' ...'falls off barstools when '.

    It's only a mistake if you don't learn from it.

    I only just read this post today. I'm telling you Artme that I'm truly hopeless at cleaning. Just ask Hubby. And if I put away your tools you will never ever find them.

    Also, I thought you were a girl for a while. I just thought Artme sounded girl like. Not after I read some of your posts though. So I wasn't under the delusion for long.

    As an apprentice the whole kitchen team was making hot cross buns, 100 dozen to be precise and I was in control of making the dough.

    One of the chefs would say 'where is the dough, boy?' and as they say it has stuck.

    Not a bad nickname for a chef either
    If you are never in over your head how do you know how tall you are?

    Mine is a nickname given to me by a mate. Play on words sort of thing.

    How's the weather in Tathra today, billym?

    Mine is an abbreviation of Cholmondeley - a character in a Gerald Durrell book I have - Chumley was a chimpanzee (rather an amazing one), my family reckon I spend my time monkeying around in the garage, so...

    Cheers,
    Adam

    PS, I lasted about a week before I forgot to sign off as Chumley, so now I'm just Adam
