Man Who Chose His Own Nickname Pays Price

When John Shuttleworth decided on a change of image and decided to tell people his new nicknme was "spud", little did he realise the effect it would have on his life.

"Once someone has a nickname, the floodgates are opened," said classmate Jimbo Slags. "I immediately came up with 'Shufflebottom' but worse was to come."

"Shuttlecock," added Helen Hells. "Pretty pleased I came up with that. That soon became 'Cock', then 'Cocknose', 'Cockface' then 'Cockmuncher'. Serves him right for trying to go against nature and choose his own nickname for himself."
