Bammy the Pyrotechnic expert. Somewhat blown away by the arrival of Mr Methane. Designed the Macc Lads and Hectic House logos. When the Lads got lost in the fog in Belgium, they all decided to sleep in the Viva. Bammy stuffed a dead cat under the front seat- and buggered off to the pub. |
|
Barrel Useless, fat, lying cunt. Called for back-up at a Preston gig, as he was having trouble throwing out a rowdy fan. The roadies arrived in the nick of time to save him from a 13-year old girl. Afterwards he told the band, who hadn't seen the incident, that there were: "Half a dozen big lads causing mither." Fat, lying, lardy lump. |

Elizabeth
Bigg There has been a "Sweaty Betty" residing in Macc since records began. A document of 1302 records Macc O'Polo mounting an Elysabeth Bigge with: "Grappeling hookes and seege tower." Shakesbeer himself recounts: "None could comprehend the bulke of Lizzy Large, I ordered a hackney to get round her arse." Oscar Vile's Ballad of Bedding Betty (1899) recalls: "I boarded the bus near Betty's neck, the best view was afforded upon the top deck, Fellow passengers alighted at her tits, I remained for two stops and got off at her clit." |
|
Binbag Dressed in black plastic, a gothic monstrosity who's voice could fossilise dogshit. Her finest moment is the intro to Alehouse Rock. She is now a care assistant working with the mentally handicapped. She takes them on day trips, and is often heard asking pub landlords: "Can I bring me spacks in?" |
|
Bitter Known as Piss of the Gods- this sacred liquid flows in the veins of every true Macc Lad. |

Boy,
Naughty Everything in the song was true. He never stopped; his naughtiness knew no bounds. Every day Naughty Boy would 'acquire' something new through his nocturnal activities. During football conversations in the pub, he would suddenly blurt out: "Wanna buy any pigs?" |
|
Bygraves,
Maccs Alleged singer, employed to wail and croon at funerals. |
|
Charlotte Many women have claimed that the song was written about them. Muttley will not reveal the song's real heroine. In 1982, when a photo of the Lads was developed, a graffiti on a wall was revealed: 'Charlotte is the biggest slag in Macc'. Sadly the wall was knocked down, despite a preservation being applied for. |
|
Cheshire
Chaps A pseudonym used by the Lads to circumnavigate the bans. They adopted posh voices, and even had their own song: " Good day, we're the Macc Chaps, We go to wine bars, But we never walk there, We drive there in our cars, We all work for daddy, He bought us our GTIs, And a skiing trip at Christmas, And that was a nice surprise." However, it fooled no one, and the Lads got banned anyway. |
|
Chips Invented by Gordon during the Great Turnip Famine of 1606. Now available at selected emporia outside Macclesfield. |

Dan If any of these anal tales had happened to you, would you tell anyone? There are witnesses to the underpant tale, and corroboration for the patio incident. However, all the desperate details came straight from the arse's mouth, so to speak. |
|
Dread,
Winston When will he realise that he isn't black? Driving through Glasgow, the Lads nearly ran over an old crippled bag woman. "Urgh!" Shouted Johnny Mard, "She's even uglier than Dread's bird!" "Is she fuck!" Protested Dread. |
