Ever since I was 18 years old, I have had the nickname Bernard. This is due largely to that awful comedian Bernard Manning and then also a character that Matt Lucas used to do in stand-up, Sir Bernard Chumley (I was Sir Bernard Clumsy)...
I have to admit that over time I have liked, loved and loathed that nickname. Now I just kind of stuck with it. My question is, I wonder if Belly or Colly feel the same?
KP is a cool nickname, as is Freddie. Vaughnie is kind of understandable and Tresco even kind of dull... but come on, Belly? That must be painful, he must hate it surely? I imagine that Ian Bell at times wants to stand up, or maybe stand on a chair (as I believe he is quite short) and shout out, loud, clear and in frustration for his team mates to stop it. I know for sure that I would, it makes me realise that maybe Bernard isn't so bad after all....
