It must be the end-of-winter-doldrums kicking in.

I'm looking forward to getting back on the road and have been spending a lot of time perusing this forum when not working. I'm curious as to where you lot got your user names from.... after all, if I met you in the flesh I would be embarrassed to call you 'Sin' or 'Threepot' or 'Mustang'!

So, I'll start the ball rolling:

nickjtc = I used to have a training and consulting business, Nick Jordan Training and Consulting.

Hi Nick! mine is just my initials... Jay or John W - most people call me John these days - I used to hang out with a lot of Johns so I was 'adapted' s'pose it could have been worse  :augie

Nick Calne

Nickcalne = Nick from Calne

I spent a lot of time making this username up....

First name & surname initial = GavD

Geoff W

I took my inspiration from Gav D.
It\'s ok , this will only take 5 minutes.

Explanation is on here somewhere, in the dim and distant past....  :tin hat

Not the other one??

But seriously though.... why don't we use our names on forums, and instead come up with (sometimes interesting) noms du plume?

Some might prefer "Nom's de Guerre"  :bad 

So now you want to be a psychologist  :icon_scratch:

 :iagree  On a more worrying note, I'm being demolished!


The nursing home in Glasgow where I was born was torn down a few years ago.

The Primary school I went to has long gone

The secondary school I went to has been flattened to make way for housing

I'm hoping they don't catch up and the Tigers got the legs to keep in front  :augie
