@jegga Believe it or not, this is a real PA from Air Nelson many years ago:
"Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen, I'm David Bowie and I am your captain today, with me on the flight deck is first officer Bryan Adams."
Yes, that is their real names. I was amazed that nobody got off the flight.

@jegga Could have been worse I guess - Stoner.
I used to spend a lot of time in Asia and in HKG they get to chose their own "English" name.
I work for a HK headquartered company. As such I get given a Chinese name. The head of the Division I do most of my work for is a 155kg Pom.
His Chinese name translates as "Big Fat Man"

@Snowy he better have called in to Ground Control

They choose a name for you? That is a lot of power for a sick minded bastard like me...
I would just end up calling people NTA's mate Wee Kok, or Wang King, or Fuk Yu, etc.
So what is your name - probably not canto for Dogmeat?

He may well have had the nickname Major Tom as I think he was ex airforce.

Three names that I have come across in the last few years that make the child in me giggle are Anil Baldeep and the surnames Khunt and Weedick.

@MajorRage Sum Ting Wong was an aircraft engineer. Always showed up when a flight was delayed.
Fanny Pong doesn't need explanation (not heard that one). Yes, too many to name.
Chewbacca Hung. Superb, although it does make him (assuming a him?) sound like a big hairy dick (that moans a lot).

@Snowy He worked in the IT department at a bank I used to work at. Also in that department, and I swear I'm not making this up, were Hercules, Baron & Sith.
In amongst a thousand Kennys & Kelvins, of course.
Who on earth would call themselves Baron?

@Bones O.K, that should be "with a pilot" but why is it showing off?
It wouldn't be quite the same as Jack Sparrow without the "Captain" - hence the pilot addition. I could change it to make him a sailor if you like? (but it wouldn't be true, although that won't matter on TSF).
So just for you - he was a ship's pilot and guided ships into port.
-
@Bones O.K. he was a pirate (not a pilot) it was all of the time he spent in Asia that meant that he had a Chinese accent that led to a misunderstanding of his occupation, and he stole ships not guided them into port. Oh, and he was drunk.
Another couple of posts and I will have met the actual character out of a movie rather than someone that I knew. This bloke is far more interesting than reality.
