Glad you agree with me about Jim Davidson, dev. You really do have good taste, you know that? ;o) Vile is a very good description.

As far as the origins of nick/nicked as a term goes, I haven't got much clue. 'The nick' is a slang term for jail or prison, so that's obviously been turned into a verb somewhere along the line. It would be interesting to find out the origin of the word though.
