Names

[OneRound]

Hi Herlock - a couple of reasons for mine.

Firstly, a tribute to one of my favourite films - The Ladykillers (Ealing original of '55 obviously) and the wonderful portrayal in it of the dim-witted but kindly criminal and ex-boxer 'One-Round' Lawson by Danny Green.

Secondly, a dig at the way in which the Court of Appeal dismissed James Hanratty's posthumous appeal in 2002. The Court repeatedly emphasised the need to see things ''in the round, taking into account all the relevant circumstances.'' However, my reading of their judgement is that a more one sided approach was taken.

Best regards,
OneRound

Been known as some form of Gut pretty much all my life. My brother was known as Gut and his mates all called me little Gut, though I was bigger than him from about age 7 (he is 5 years older).

When I started playing football in high school one fellow knew my brother, he had dated the guts sister for a short while. And he said :Hey are you Gut’s brother?” For a while I got Gut’s brother, that was shortened to gut. As I moved up the grades and through the teams the name followed, some changed to to ton of guts because of how I played.

20 years after I rang a mate about a 20 year reunion, told his wife who it was she called out to him, in the background I heard him yell back “I don’t know no ..... **** it’s Gut”.

If you see the name on a forum etc it is probably me.

Cheers GUT, that’s one that I can now tick off my list.

Its a play on the first three letters of my first and last name and the numbers come from a number that I used for 23 years

I’ve often wondered where some posters names come from? Some are obvious - my own, Wickerman, Dupin, Fisherman for example but some aren’t.

Does anyone want to enlighten me/us without giving anything away that you don’t want to of course?
