Too many jacks at school so one ended up with the nickname Toast, Because his head kind of resembled a loaf of bread. It’s been 13 years and that’s his name now.

At university, three Chris’ in halls, became Big Chris (normal sized), Little Chris (short), and Ferdinand (Ferdie), because he had a photo on his door that made him look like a Spanish waiter. By third year people were calling him Ferdie who had no idea his name was even Chris.
