Question Forum Names - Why and What?

[Floval Flyer]

Apologies if this has been done before, but to lighten the doom; how about we explain our user names??

FLOVAL FLYER

Back in the day (early 80's) I used to race BMX, I rode under the SE Racing banner in the 'Cruiser' division, on a Floval Flyer - 30 years later I managed to buy one and restore it (hence the user name)



Since joining SZ I have I subsequently sold it (for a large profit, as Old School BMX are now big business with rarer bikes changing hands for several grand), but the name stays despite the temptation to change it...

Anyway, that's mine explained.

Anyone care to follow that?

 

[Supernaut]

Black Sabbath are one of my favourite bands, and Supernaut is one of my my favourite Sabbath songs.

 

[Yorkshire Blue]

I have my username because London Blue is cybersquatting what I should be called.

 

[Pubey]

My head hair looks like pubes

 

[MK Shrimper]

It's in honour of the fine child actress Mary Korman. It's a look that i just can't pull off.

I also live in Milton Keynes.

 

[Tangled up in Blue]

Tangled Up In Blue because it expresses my support for SUFC,blues music in general and also a damm fine Bob Dylan song.

 

[RHB]

Mine was born back in the days of BBC606. There were loads of Rootshall prefixes back then so it was question of ploughing through the last bit to find one not already taken. Not very exciting but that's how RHB was born. A bit like trying to pick your email address with a popular mail provider when all the names you want are taken.

 

[OldBlueLady]

When I joined the forum there were already Southend Lady, Blue Lady and various other names that I might have picked. I went with Old Blue Lady because I correctly thought no-one, especially no female, would want to call themselves "Old" anything on here! That was in 2007, so 10 year anniversary next year :smile:

 

[Mad Cyril]

Mad Cyril is a gangster from the film Performance and a Happy Mondays song.

 

[Firestorm]

When I joined my motorbike was a firestorm, I still have it

 

[* ORM *]

One Roy McDonough. Had I been born 20 years later it would have been * OKM *

 

[RobM]

I think mine needs no explanation!

 

[Pubey]

I think mine needs no explanation!

You're a burglar?

 

[Bielzibubz]

Back in the early days of Yahoo Chat and dial up modems, mid 90s, I got called a little devil by someone on line and an American friend called me this and yes, spelt it like this too and it's been my monicka on all forums and online sites I join.

 

[McNasty]

I was sitting in a New York hotel talking to 2 East London gangsters and they were describing another guy who was " a nasty man -- so nasty , he was mcnasty"

I just had to steal that.

 

[RobM]

You're a burglar?

? Explain yourself, Sir!

 

[johnlattimerssponge]

Mine for those not old enough to remember is a little tribute to John Lattimer a great servant of the club in various roles. He was sponge man, coach and even caretaker manager briefly.
I through some running and football injuries met him on numerous occasions for physiotherapy treatment although far less sophisticated options were available then and largely it involved him digging his thumbs into the problem area largely successfully. The pain he inflicted was lessen by his distraction tactic of telling many football stories.

 

[RHB]

? Explain yourself, Sir!

Ignore the spelling, just say it in your mind.

 

[londonblue]

Sorry. I did live in London when I joined this site. I don't now though.

Tangled Up In Blue because it expresses my support for SUFC,blues music in general and also a damm fine Bob Dylan song.

I'm assuming you don't use that on the Fulham site you frequent though?

 

[Uncle Leo]

Seinfeld is my favourite TV show of all time. Jerry's creepy Uncle Leo - played by the late Len Lesser - is a minor character in the programme.
