I remember when we student nurses went for an evening out...usually to Grab a Granny Night at the Mecca...if we were asked our names by a young man we usedto make things up....My friend used to tell the guys she was called Melina Stools (melaena stools - a medical term for blood in your poo)...and I used to call myself Emma Royd (piles) which was quite apt because they used to tell me I was a pain in the bum. Ok....... I know they aren't very original, but it used to make us laugh.
