Posted May 31, 201311 yr Just pondering - what has made everyone choose their avatar name? Some are obvious (DDT and mine!) but why some of the others?
May 31, 201311 yr I got mine due to the fact that I had just SLICED my palm open on a stubborn bolt and was trying to type with one hand at the time.
May 31, 201311 yr Believe it or not, I'm an ex submariner. Also my name is Mike and I was born in 1949.
May 31, 201311 yr Believe it or not, I'm an ex submariner. Also my name is Mike and I was born in 1949. well Mike we are roughly the same age except I haven't done anything more exciting than sit in an office desk, hope to meet you one day especially as we both have XJ600 models (wrong section but - whisper - what do you do with your time in retirement, mine's coming up in a couple of years)

May 31, 201311 yr One of the only games I was any good at on my brothers Sinclair was Pippo. Some kind of hippo / space hopper you controlled and used to change colours of the floor tiles while avoiding gaps and evil characters. The more difficult levels had tiles which went through multiple colours. Clearly I was too young / stupid to remember the actual name and used to call it Bippo. I can assure you all that its not because I resemble the character, honest...
May 31, 201311 yr Tommy XS's username is actually very deceptive because his name is Barry and he rides a Honda Camino.Life is full of confusion.
May 31, 201311 yr Foamy are mythical creatures which inhabit an earth-like planet called Faern (pronounced "Farn", they have grey fur and mimic the sounds and calls of the other woodland creatures, when in contact with humans for a long period of time they will learn to form sentences and communicate using a human language It was a character I drew on my English lesson folder 7 years ago, and it's stuck ever since, since I am also a strange creature of imagination...
May 31, 201311 yr Author I really wanted to be called "Mongo the Merciless" Is that the Magnificents' cousin, or a Flash Gordon reference?

May 31, 201311 yr well Mike we are roughly the same age except I haven't done anything more exciting than sit in an office desk, hope to meet you one day especially as we both have XJ600 models (wrong section but - whisper - what do you do with your time in retirement, mine's coming up in a couple of years) Hi Ian, first of all I retire in April 2014. Personally I can't wait, I've been working non stop since I left school in 1964 when I was 15 years old. It would be great to meet one day, but, believe it or not the place I work for, a family owned business, where the lady in the accounts office is "THE BOSS" . Also she doesn't portray that image, she is a fantastic lady/employer. So, at the moment, we are so busy, as in we are a small plastic injection moulding company supplying to Germany, Spain, Romania, USA, China, Scotland. and of course to all the sheds in Britain, i.e. B&Q, Homebase etc. What I'm trying to say is that I would like to meet, but not yet. (hope no offence taken) because at the moment we are working all the hours under the sun, I hope you understand.
May 31, 201311 yr now that would be funny on the back of your yoc t shirt ha ha yep - think that went through my mind at the time so that's why I didn't go for it
May 31, 201311 yr Tommy XS's username is actually very deceptive because his name is Barry and he rides a Honda Camino. Life is full of confusion. how do you know all this stuff bipp's!! have you been storkin me ? I knew I'd seen those eye's before, they were in the tree outside my bedroom window
May 31, 201311 yr I remember seeing the Matrix in 1999 and i thought NE0 was so cool, just 3 characters! I subsequently use it on all the various forums I'm on.
