than hearing the prime minister referred to as "Boris".

He's not your mate.

That’s a good point actually, some footballers are more known via their first name!

Finidi a very good example.

Yes, but the other bloke's bacon sarnie.

Honestly, if Milliband could eat a breakfast competently this country might not be the sh1tshower of thinly veiled intolerance, corruption and masochism that it is.

Opposite for me. When people refer to 'Mr Evans' or 'Mr Lambert' - pretending to show false respect and then proceeding to slate them mercililessly ( albeit justifiably).

That's just some of our older fans isn't it? Brought up in a different era.

Depends upon how it's said. If all the emphasis is upon the first letter, it can carry a real note of disdain.

Moreover, calling him by his surname alone invokes the image of a sensible and trustworthy politician, rather than an errant child.

Especially as his first name is actually Alexander. I'd rather disrespect his decision to be recognised by his middle name and call him Al (he can call me Betty - he is pretty soft in the middle)

You make a good point. I generally call our alleged PM by his surname, though I always call Kuqi Shefki.

What really grinds my gears is calling people by their nicknames. Nors…. I don’t know James Norwood or wish to, so why would I use the term Nors? Becks, Lamps, Jezza Grrrr. The exceptions I can think of is Bart for Bialkowski and that’s because his surname is a right mouthful that I can’t spell without looking it up.

100% agree. It is intended to make him sound cuddly.

Sorry. I wasn't suggesting Viljoen, it was Warnock I was referring to; and having fun at the expense of a christian name concocted from an anagram to form a nickname.

I assumed you were referring to Warnock. I was just thinking of a few more.

I don’t remember the crowd referring to Viljoen by anything really, though I seem to remember the players or manager called him Ace. Derek Jefferson was called Chopper, though that was more a description of his on field activities.
