Slight thread hijack...
The boat yard where I served my apprenticeship had a Polish crane / lorry driver. We called him Bomski, and everyone took the piss out of him relentlessly. He got 'lorry jacked' by three pikies one day just outside Berwick. He was dragged out the cab and hit with a bat after being stopped by a car. He got up as they drove off, and ran after them and jumped onto the back of the Bedford. They stopped, and got in the back to sort him out. He was hit with the bat, and stabbed in the arm, shoulder and cheek with a screw-driver, but still layed all three of em out cold. We called him MR. Bomski after that:)
