Sinbad

My registered name SavageBlue (I changed it via my profile) referred to two things; the Nigella that took over my back garden and it's also the name of a song I like. Recently changed it to my first and middle names :)
I always assumed yours was a love of the Sinbad stories ;D

Birth sign. And its me to a tee

I started blogging nearly four years ago with the name Flightbuff and soon after other bloggers started calling me Flighty. I've used it ever since on blogs and forums.

[ name is Jan short for Janice ]

Well I read this forum for about 2 weeks before I decided to join in.
I liked seeing so many members using their own names.
The honesty of everyone made me feel comfortable enough to use my first name and surname initial. ;)
-
Cos I've got one ;D

hi there
i choose mine as my sister calls my son "spud" and i am his mummy. lol simple really.

'cos we're from Liverpool and used to run around like blue bottomed flies ;D
could do with changing it now, can't do manic any more ;D
-
well having just joined and having seen other names I though it said everything i.e. who I am 7 what I've3 got - see gallery for proof
-
It's threads like this that make me wish I'd been more imaginative! Guess what my real name and date of birth are? ;D
-
I started off as Dandylion (after my daughter's Nintendo dog), I discovered there was another Dandilion and I asked to change. My daughter had just had a kitten called Coco, now Cocopops (or woowoo cat if she keeps talking), I chose that as it was on my mind.
-
cos we are big elvis fans and 2003 is when i started using forums!

I think I have told you this before, but will bore you all again. When I first took on my allotment my lovely Italian friend was sitting in the sun shelling (is that the right word) beans. I went to help him and we had a pleasant chat and ended up with buckets of borlotti beans. He insisted that I had a bucket full, never heard of them before and not sure what to do with them. I didn't want to offend him so took them home and put them in the freezer. He is still very helpful, planted a bay tree for me and grafts fruit trees. He is quite old, meet his grandchildren but he is very strong and when he sees me digging sometimes helps me. The only trouble I have with him is that he hates my wild flowers, says I am wasting good growing space but he is a darling. He also loves his broad beans, which I am not too keen on, but I do love his windfall apples which he gives me in plenty.
-
but i dont mine people knowing my name its.... Paula! :D
Snap!
My screen name is short for Posiepain, which is my little sister's nickname - however having used the full nickname and getting some VERY dodgy messages in chat rooms I decided to shorten it lol ;D ;) ;D
-
Been using timnsal for emails for years - he's Tim n I'm Sal. Was already at least one Sally registered here and if I'd added a number or something, I'd never remember what it was. Didn't want to have to reregister every time I posted ::)

Well I read this forum for about 2 weeks before I decided to join in.

The honesty of everyone made me feel comfortable enough to use my first name and surname initial. ;)
That's why I used my real name too. Well, there was someone already registered as "Trevor" - although he hasn't bothered to post yet - so I added my surname initial as well. I'm not into all this disguise stuff - WYSIWYG for me!
-
Welcome to A4A from me also M S Gardener :)

Clanger was my school nickname - and still is to people who knew me then. I first needed a 'handle' when I joined Imps forums and we are red imps so I just put the two together.

My screename is really sparkling_quavers as in the musical quavers. This ended up shortened to "sparkly" on a brass banding forum and it stuck.
-
My registered name was Ninnyscrops. Twin nieces, 30 odd years ago, couldn't pronounce Linda and it came out Ninda, then shortened to Nin then extended to Ninny. My new name "downtoearth" seems to be where I spend most of my time now! ;D
-
Many thanks for all the replies,
I really enjoyed reading them.
One left me wondering, and that was froglegs. Were you into frogs or were they referring to your legs?
Georgie, I thought your name was Georgina, never dreamt it had to do with George Best ;D
Welcome M.S and hope you enjoy the forum now you have broken the ice.
SamLouise I liked the book reading ;D ;D ;D

My initials and birthday (what imagination!)
this threads explains where some of the members have gone - you haven't gone anywhere just changed your screen names. :D
I missed you ;D

My screen name and avatar fit my personality.
One big stirrer.

Sinbad
-
'cos me name is... and I am a...... ;)
-
That's good to hear Tony ;D ;D
-
post often gets delivered to me under my screen name, I've been known as TonyBloke for years!! ;)
-
I've noticed people tend to call me by my screen name more than my real name, so came to think the screen name suited me more.
-
I love stars in a clear sky ;D
-
Just used my name but then found that there was another Pauline so added the day I was born on. :D
-
I wanted to be honest and use my own name, but Julie was already taken, so used my surname (married name, nicer than the maiden name!) instead. Simple really! :)
-
OK, Ruhbarb Thrasher, wherever you are - 'fess up ??? ??? ??? ???

For many years my hubby and step son have given me a varity of names, so much so that I am shocked when they call me Helen, my favorite names they have given me are Tinkie and Bear and as there was already a Tinkie then I combined the two. I could also have been LP (little pig, hubby is BP - big pig - and James was MP - mini pig at the time but then he grew and became middle pig!!)
This thread is very interesting !
Helen x
-
I am a Philippa which always seems an bit long winded and posh so was always more of a Pip .... Then some friends started calling me Pippy and it's just stuck!
-
Did you ever go to the Ace cafe, Ace?
I always thought that's where you got your name from apart from being ACE :D
Chloe
Used the original one when we used to race the juke box and got called the 'ton up boys' But I have not been to the resurected caff. I should go to a rockers reunion there, but they make me feel old.
-
I remember going on the chicken run down the North Circular from the Ace cafe, hanging onto the back of my boyfriend.
Did you go to The Busy Bee too?
The down side of having a boyfriend with a bike was at the sign of a spot of rain we all had to go home so the bike didn't get wet ;D ;D

That was chivalry in them days. I was the same, it saved my ole lady from having to polish the bike. ;)
-
I went to the ACE cafe, and I rode on the back of a motor bike doing 100 mph without a crash helmet. Told Dad I wore it but left it hidden in the front garden amongst the flowers. My ex-husband did trials and he used to boil his chain in the kitchen on the gas cooker. He even went to bed with his motor bike, when he got it from Spain. I remember doing the scoring with 2 children and a dog whilst he did trials, and it was so cold and I was stuck in a field all day. Then he went to the pub and got drunk. I learnt to drive so I could drive him home with a trailer, two children and an alastian dog on my lap. Oh happy days. My mother was right, I should have married the man from the Young Conservative Club that was rich, but a bit boring.
-
My dog's name - ::) ;D
Real name - Jan
-
I wanted to be Freddie cos thats the name i use everywhere else (its my parrots name) it was taken so it became a play on my real name which is Deborah but only when im in trouble rest of the time its Deb or Debbie

I'm liking this thread, I wonder if anyone changes their name after this and if you had under your new name formally known as, so peeps didn't get confused, because Georgie ( real name Beryl ) gets confused easily these days. ;D ;D ;D
-
Gawd I did this - had Downtoearth aka Ninnyscrops for ages, then felt sooooo sorry for the peeps that typed all that lot in a reply ;D
Hope I didn't confuse you too much Beryl, sorry Georgie ;)
Linda

I started out good Georgie and stayed good for a long time, then naughtiness crept up on me and I kinda liked it ;D ;D ;D.
Then I discovered my allotment and it showed me the error of my ways and I started to collect seeds and plants and slugs and snails and made compost and shovelled manure ???

It had to be short, I'm from NZ so it had to be a bird.....Kiwi is a bit obvious and taken plus I wanted something from where I come from near the Southern Alps. The Kea is the worlds only alpine parrot, it's quite a character and very tenacious but not very popular with skiers and farmers.
On my last visit to NZ with my English husband (his first) we stopped at Fox Josef glacier and he was rather started when i got out and removed the rubber from the window wipers before we left the car in the car park. When we got back the neighbouring vehicles were having or already had the rubber removed by a group of Keas.
They usually behave like a band of drunk teenagers except they are also very smart, they can solve highly complex puzzles.
PS I'm not at all like a Kea I just like them..sometimes!

OK, Ruhbarb Thrasher, wherever you are - 'fess up ??? ??? ??? ???

I have been a Rhubarb Thrasher since about 1974, together with for instance DJ Mark Radcliffe, novelist Jonathan Coe, and the Vicar of Alderholt (to name a few) Elton John also must have had a soft spot for it too. Look us up!
not been here around much. Lethal combination of ISP woes and a touch of the winter blues ???

The down side of having a boyfriend with a bike was at the sign of a spot of rain we all had to go home so the bike didn't get wet ;D ;D
*This reminds me of a joke,
This guy has always dreamed of owning a Harley Davidson. One day he has finally saved up enough money so he goes down to the dealer and he picks out the perfect bike. While getting all the paperwork together, the dealer tells him about an old biker-trick that will keep the chrome on his new bike free from rust. The trick is to keep a jar of Vaseline handy and put it on the chrome before it rains, and everything will be fine. He happily pays for the bike and leaves. A few months later, the young man meets a woman and falls in love. She wants him to meet her parents so she asks him to come to dinner. He readily accepts and the date is set. At the appointed time, he picks her up on his Harley and they ride to her parents' house. Before they go in, she tells him that they have a family tradition that whoever speaks first after dinner must do the dishes. After a delicious dinner everyone sits in silence waiting for the first person to break and get stuck doing the dishes. After a long fifteen minutes, the young man decides to speed things up. He reaches over and kisses his woman in front of her family. No one says a word. Emboldened, he throws her on the table and has sex with her in front of everyone. No one says a word. Now he is getting desperate, so he grabs her mother and throws HER on the table. They have even wilder sex. No one says a word. He is wondering what to do next when he hears thunder in the distance. His first thought is to protect the chrome on his Harley, so he reaches in his pocket and pulls out his jar of Vaseline. The father says "Okay, dammit,!! I'll do the dishes!"

I'd live to say that it's a rear view of some lovely Stackettes, but i'm having doubts about the one in the middle. could that be the bottom of Mr Mike "She Taught Me How to Yodel" Evans? I'd always thought it would be more hairy ;D
