One of my mates name transpired from Andrew to Joey in the late 70's early 80's based on his resemblance to Mr Joey Deacon.

Joey Deacon was a poor crater whom Blue Peter thrust into the spotlight of unforgiving unpolitically correct cruel children through a serialisation of his life as what was termed a Spastic back then.

 

Henceforth anyone who committed anything remotely Spazzy got nicknamed Joey.

Sure there must be some YouTube footage, sure Ke1t will have a link

I'm sure there are a few Joey vids on the Youtubes, but any mention of the Blue Peters is inevitably going to result in the posting pics of the lovely Janet Ellis.

 

There was actually a Smith and Jones sketch which today would see both Mel Smith (even though he's dead) and Griff Rhys Jones arrested under some 'malicious communications' law, which involved Mel and Griff pretending to be seriously handicapped, it was called "Smikes and Joey Try To Make A Cup of Tea". As you can imagine, there was tea everywhere... and everyone laughed. Smikes was the less famous British handicapped lad, now consigned to the mists of time. While everyone remembers Joey, no-one remembers Smikes. In fact so much so is Smikes forgotten that I'm not even entirely sure if Smikes is his actual name. It might even be Spike.

 

Anyway, here's the lovely Janet Ellis as promised. She looked a lot like a chick I worked with back in the day, except the chick I worked with had DD titties, and was sexually frustrated given her fiance at the time was a halfwitted, asexual pig farmer who had actually given her a row for buying sexy lingerie. I think he preferred his pigs, the daft, brosie cunt..

Thanks for the explanation.

 

I googled him too, turns out his name was used as an insult across the UK.

 

I learned a new word whilst reading up on this:

 

Belming: The art of belming is to protrude your lower lip outwards by inserting your tongue between your lower teeth and lip and extending your tongue forwards so.

 

The clear implication of belming at someone is that either;

 

- You don't really believe a word they are saying.

- You think they're a MONG and not really worthy of proper conduct.

So, there you are "Belming" - I didnt know there was a word for making "that face"
