Bunter? Bornie? (Barnie didn't look right.)

Stop that.

Last time I had KFC, I got the runs.

Bah, Party poopers.

Would the nickname have flown if he'd spelt it differently, I wonder?

Flue? Flew? What else could a man named Bird be known as? I nominate :

1. Birdie.
2. Birdee.
3. Birdy.
4. C*nt(ee).

Why is Mike Hussey "Mr Cricket"? Surely he should be "Shameless".

According to the Age, AGB is "chatty", so maybe you should have that written on your back - Tony "Chatty" T

Why didn't they change his nickname to "Rabbit"?

Isn't that what their going to have to start serving up when the "chick" hits the fan?

Carna: Appropriate, in the circs.

Jim: Party Poopers? Appropriate, in Carna's circs.

Nick: How about "Brain". Or Seye. (Think about it.)

LIC: They call him Shameless on the rayjo, and I've seen Brazen, as well.

Laura: I was hoping no one would notice.

Adsy: I like Rabbit, but I'm pretty sure the idea was not to associate him with KFC.

'Flue' and 'flew' are good ones in the "I didn't mean it that way I mean't John Blackman who plays Dickie Knee" sense.

Also maybe Flube? Flube Bird.

Er, sounds the same. Dogupyuz.

I would have thought the best nickname for him was obvious: "Num Num". In fact I'll bet that's his real nickname, but they don't want to offend Indians so they keep it under wraps. But I'll bet in the changing rooms they're all going "What is the name of this game in which you disperse the balls into the boundary?" and "Howdy pardner" in a strong Indian accent.

Snap out of it, Biggy Boy.

That's where the title of the post came from, Clem. What's the bet someone mentioned it in the rooms. Although, I must stress, here at the AGB we don't condone humour containing ethnic stereotypes.

Now. I'm off to watch It Ain't Half Hot Mum.
