~Nicknames ~ George Herman Ruth, Jr. (February 6, 1895 – August 16, 1948), also known as “Babe”, “The Bambino”, “The Sultan of Swat”, and “The Colossus of Clout”, was an American Major League baseball player from 1914-1935. Ruth is regarded by many historians and fans as the greatest baseball player of all time, due to a combination of his on-field accomplishments and records; his significant roles both in changing the way baseball is played and in establishing the New York Yankees dynasty; and his resulting worldwide name-recognition. He is a charter member of the Baseball Hall of Fame.

The cat, nicknamed Macavity, has one blue eye and one green eye.

The cat was nicknamed Macavity after the mystery cat in T.S Elliot’s poem. He gets on the bus in front of a row of 1950s semi-detached houses and jumps off at a row of shops down the road which include a fish and chip shop.

Driver Bill Khunkhun, 49, who first saw the cat jumping from the bus in January, said: “It is really odd, the first time I saw the cat jumping off the bus with a group of passengers. I hadn’t seen it get on which was a bit confusing.

“The next day I pulled up on Churchill Road to let a couple of passengers on. As soon as I opened the doors the cat ran towards the bus, jumped on and ran under one of the seats, I don’t think any of the passengers noticed.

“Because I had seen it jump off the day before I carried on driving and sure enough when I stopped just down the road he jumped off - I don’t know why he would catch the bus but he seems to like it. I told some of the other drivers on this route and they have seen him too.”

Since January, when the cat first caught the bus he has done it two or three times a week and always gets on and off at the same stops.

Passenger, Paul Brennan, 19, who catches the 331 to work, said: “I first noticed the cat a few weeks ago. At first I thought it had been accompanied by its owner but after the first stop it became quite clear he was on his own.

“He sat at the front of the bus, waited patiently for the next stop and then got off. It was was quite strange at first but now it just seems normal. I suppose he is the perfect passenger really - he sits quietly, minds his own business and then gets off.”

Mine was “SIX” once upon a time.

I got that one...I think I was 19... one night while “cruising chics”. We called it that but what we were really doing was trolling for chics with beer as the bait. All you did was get a nice car, get a case or two of beer, and drive the strip that all the kids cruised on. When you saw a car load of cute girls, you got them to pull over and try to get them to come to your party....get their phone numbers...make out if you can...tempt them with a beer if they want it.

Well, I had the record of 6 phone numbers in one night. Thinking back, it's amazing how easy it was to get a date back then...with really cute ones too! It takes more than a can of cheap nasty beer nowdays, that's for sure.

My mom has called me Bicky since I was little because I called my cousin Vic Bic.
The doctor who delivered me called me Zelma until he retired because when he asked my mom what they were going to name me, and she told him that so far my sisters were named in alphabetical order, he suggested that they name me Zelma. (My mom was 39 at the time.)
My sisters have called me all sorts of things.

Toddler through age ten: Icky Ack. This a mocking of my early attempts at speech.

Age nine through thirteen: K(C)ookie. I'm not sure of the origin of this moniker. My research suggests either because I had a way with the ladies similar to heart throb Gerald Lloyd "Kookie" Kookson III or because I would acquire my classmates' lunch cookies by any means necessary.
