Topic: What's in the name?

[Beer_Belly]

Mine is simply Beer_Belly because I have one  :D I've used that on BBSs and on the net from the days before it had pictures

On Dutch boards I sometimes use Bier_Buik

oh and I also use ToadRunner but that's a completely different story.

[ciderself]

As a new allotmenteer  I was beside myself when I stumbled across this website. Although I much prefer a drop of the black stuff to cider.  
Like budgie breeder I have my perceptions of other contributors ??
I see Tim regularly on the Glenfiddich advert. Very handsome.
A mix of English breakfast and Earl Grey is good Hugh.

[Tenuse]

My moniker is derived from a mathematical hippo!

Fascinating stories everyone, and well done doubledutch for starting this thread (I have often wondered if Budgiebreeder does breed budgies and if beer belly does have a beer belly - and now I know!)

'cd' are my initials (Claire Dixon...although I'm now Claire Barrett) and the river 'chater' is the river flows at the bottom of my garden. I tend to use chater for most things (inc my tax return service - chatertax - good plug)

Doubledutch, how did legless get her name? Haven't seen many posts from her lately?

[jethro]

Hi all, if you don't already know my moniker comes from Jethro Tull ( the group ) ;D  there again i could have used Pink Floyd, Alice Cooper, Cream, Jimi Hendrix etc, (showing my age now ;) . but thought jethro was more amiable?

cd chater, legless is a word we use up here which means totally drunk, can't walk,talkand insensible , but i'm sure that's not what in this case ;D

[sister_sizzy]

My name is Sylvia but younger sister couldn't say it when she was learning to talk and called me sizzy, and that is how I have always been introduced to people.
How many of you out there remember Dennis Lotus, Ronnie Carroll, Alma Cogan, Michael Holiday, Emile Ford, etc?

[Mimi]

It was easy really all the family call me  Mimi and as mimi on its own was already taken i just added a few family birth dates and  there you go.  Mimi came about because neices and nephews had problems with Mary.

[legless]

thanks for having the faith in me jethro!!

i haven't been around much as i've been having a hectic time at work!!

my name comes from when i first started using the internet, i used to go to a formula one forum and chat there. we all went to the british grand prix and met up which was great. i wore those trousers that zip off at the knee and they weren't very common then so because the legs of my trousers came off they named me legless and i use it on all the forums i go to now!

if you meet me in real life please call me Jo though!!! ;D

[ava_banana]

Ava Banana as in the "London" type song.....

......shortened from "Oi, ave a banana" which I seemed to remeber was in a song from old......


....I used to do a lot of computer gaming.......and had to think of something original to play as against all those online american people......

.....this seemed a quite descriptive both from an amusing and a geographical point of view..... ::)

Thanks for your nice remark cdchater. I am so thrilled that so many people came forward, what a wonderful bunch of people here.

Hey Beer Belly, you don't look half as scary as you do on that blue picture under your name here. How do I know? Hahaha, I had a peek on your web site and there was a wonderful picture of this hunk of a guy, nice looking really, on a vulcano top. As for the beer belly, I don't think you qualify yet, need to drink a lot more beer I'm afraid. (I figured you wouldn't mind anybody looking on your site or you would not have written the address when you registred here, right?)

[ina]

Hugh, is Llewellyn ap Llewellyn anything like Kramer vs Kramer?

[Hugh_Jones]

Is Kramer a dutch name? If so Kramer vs Kramer would be double dutch. Who were they anyway?

I told you your dd Dictionary didn`t speak welsh!

I wonder what the politically correct Board censor would make of a nice long welsh swear word?

[Beer_Belly]

Wow - thanks Ina - I've never been referred to as a hunk before - my wife refers to me as a fat bloke or chubby hubby. And yes you're right I don't mind you looking at my site, that's what it's there for :-)

[cdchater]

Beer belly - Does all that beer you drink make you blue? Good picture though!

[jethro]

Ah legless i knew it wasn't the drink, although i've been in that state a few times in my youth ( many moons ago )  :P .
BB, how did you turn blue, was it cold when the piccy was taken?

[Beer_Belly]

The blue pic was taken when I was competing in RobotWars - our robot was called blue so we painted our heads blue to match. 8)

[jethro]

BB, robot wars cool, tried building one of them but it knocked the fence down, made a mess of the garden, and nearly killed 3 people  ??? not one of my better designs.

Huh? Ehm, I was really talking about that man next to you on the picture, your Dad!

Oh, some movie with Dustin Hofman.
You are right, no welsh in my dictionary but I would like to learn a welsh swear word hahaha, it'll all be chinese to me.

[Palustris]

I always though that there were no swear words in Welsh? And I went to school in very Welsh Wales for 2 years.
