lisa tgrsswwatb

isn't it interesting how nicknames begin. when maz visited me at warwick a few weeks ago we remembered all the names we used to have at school. her first name is actually mariana so we called her maziana or mazkaban. rahma was called rahmalade or pepperami, and because of the tv show panorama we also called her panny for about a year. kim was kimmy hef and bhathuvi was spelt B2V because it's easier to write. grishma was squish, and chloe was chlochlopops. there are probably more that i've forgotten. B2V is apparently going to name her daughter kimothy after kim.

the funniest ones though were invented by maz and miriam, they changed our first names into our best subjects, although when they couldn't think of a subject to suit someone they just had a random word instead. i was cisco collins, and here are the rest:

maths don bosco (maz)
dance curtis (karina)
history black (miriam)
science kerbey (sarah)
gobi ganeshalingam (B2V)
lamda stevenson (lynz)
graphics vadgama (grishma)
reasoning adam (rahma)
german heffernon (kim)
geography steiner (rachel)

maz also had a song about hers, the lyrics were:

maths maths maths maths
that's my name, that's my name
why are you saying my name?

i am sure no-one else cares about this but i am going to look back at it in a few years and laugh.

also, lisa tgrsswwatb stands for lisa the great red scottish squirrel who wears a tartan beret.
