Just curious: who are you?

[nickjtc]

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.

[JayDub]

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 

[Nick Calne]

Nickcalne = Nick from Calne

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

[GavD]

Knew I shoulda thought about it a bit more

First name & surname initial = GavD

[Geoff W]

I took my inspiration from Gav D.

[London_Phil]

Even more boring, Phil, from London..... Used to be MIMbox, but lost the name when site upgraded.  Medical Imaging Manager (capture) Box ( ie a pc that grabs Xray/CT/US images for the  digital age)..

[Bixxer Bob]

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

[threepot]

Cylinders are also known as 'pots' ,I ride 3 cylinder bikes,hence..

[motoOzarks]

I am the moto monster

hear me roar 

[John Stenhouse]

OOPS! Failed again, yes I am THE John Stenhouse

[nickjtc]

OOPS! Failed again, yes I am THE John Stenhouse

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?

[Sin_Tiger]

Some might prefer "Nom's de Guerre"   

So now you want to be a psychologist

[Nick Calne]

There can be only one john stenhouse...

[John Stenhouse]

   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
