Ahoy there!
I was wondering how and why people on this forum decided on their usernames.
Admittedly some are fairly obvious; Rob clearly has delusions of something or other and Kevin's Sea Soldier speaks for its self.
I decided on Rogue Chef because I served my first five years as a chef. In the early eighties there was a popular comic called '2000 AD'. My favourite character was called Rogue Trooper, hence Rogue Chef. My drinking partner in those days was Chris Challis who assigned himself Judge Chef after Judge Dredd.
Boys will be boys.

I chose El Prez (to whom all good things and cash will happen) before being given a new handle in a fudged referendum by that establishment lapdog Rotary Booty, the former Miss Delice Blancmange. It was chosen as a mark of respect and steaming esteem, for a friend who took over, literally, the running of the Goldwing club in N Wales. He was of Portuguese stock, looked like a Hammas bomber and ruled with a claw of adjustable chrome.
Now back to this mornings deliberations. "Where is this mornings Virgin? What do you mean there are none left in Penzance!! Get back out and try Falmouth, trawl the pay and display for likely flesh, now go."
Bloody staff, totally unreliable and useless when it comes to initiative. Mind you, as soon as one shows inititaive he/she is chopped. Might be getting uppity!

I chose mine because El Prez keeps winding me up!

Well mine was given to me in the Army, as the lads thought i lookeda lot likea film star of ther 50's who had the name Tab. Well who am I to argue
about it, when you think of some of the nicknames they gave out.

Tab

Was that Tab Hunter the film star?

Stick a profile photo up, and we'll give you our verdict! (Those that can remember him!)

an

d could hold my own amonst most of the lads.

That'll be Sticky Blue standing in the middle of HorseGuards, dick in hand then! "The Massed Bands will now beat retreat, Sticks stand still and stop playing with your bishop,...........again."

I originally came up with mine a few years ago, when in my immense maturity I thought voodoo was interesting (wot wiv all da zombees an stuff). So taking that, I set out out think up something of an antonym. Vegetables are nice and boring, and I thought the prime culprit was probably the humble brussel sprout. So, add the two together and - voodoo sprout .

I feel left out here - I am one of the few that use real names on this forum.

Any suggestions for a new username for me?

Maria

I was always a fan of the 'Broons' so hence Wully

Wanted a username that was easy for me to remember
And what is easier to remember than your real name
And I use the same username on all the forums I subscribe to

Mine was given to me at high school during my footie playing days. I was not a bad player but never into the tricky flicks and tricks, more of the force and tackling.
Strength_10 refers to me having the "strength of ten men"...hence, i make up a team on my own!

Not really a fitting description but it was nice at the time and it has kinda stuck.

PS-this is a good thread

I chose mine because that is my real name, easy to remember, plus I have absolutely no imagination.

Aye - Andy.
