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.

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.

My moniker is derived from a mathematical hippo!

Young, dumb and full of come hither looks.

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

#24
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

#25
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

#26
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.
Take time to stop and smell the flowers.

legless

#27
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 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..... ::)
....we are all visitors to this earth........enjoy your stay.....:)

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?)

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

Hugh_Jones

#31
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

#32
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

#33
Beer belly - Does all that beer you drink make you blue? Good picture though!

jethro

#34
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

#35
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)

#36
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.

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.

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