Story behind your username and avatar?

[Ross61]

My user name is a nickname I had at work in the early 80’s. Which is short for torremolinos which is an even longer story to tell.
61 was because I wasn’t allowed to have just Ross
The avatar is of one of my dogs, now deceased, that as a young dog she could lay with her back legs flat on the ground in parallel to her front. Not quite enough of the picture is seen to see it.

 

[GreiginFife]

Normally our family nickname for Robinson is Robbo, but that's always taken up so I combined the first three letters of my surname, the first three letters of my forename and added the r at the end.
The Avatar is the Librarian from the Discworld novels of Terry Practhett. One of my favourite characters. That fact that I have (or used to have) red hair and a beard makes it sort of like me as well.

To confirm though, your real name isn’t Horace Worblehat is it?

 

[Neilds]

What about your username @Neilds ?

I always read your name in my head as "Neelds"....but it's only just occurred to me it's more likely Neil DS...?

Really exciting this one - real first name and initial of middle name and surname.
Tried to think of a better story for it but failed miserably

 

[Lord Tyrion]

my user name is boringly obvious and my avatar is non-existent.

There's always time to jazz up the avatar.........

 

[Bunkermagnet]

Mine must be self explainatary, although I did manage to ignore it on the 1st at Blackmoor....
The avatar is my golfing ability compared to Wyle Coyote

 

[PhilTheFragger]

Ready for this?......

Back in the day I played a FPS game (First Person Shooter) on the PC and online called QUAKE
It was very popular and you could form teams or clans to fight other clans etc

In this game you didnt shoot the enemy, you Fragged them, names Phil, Fragging was what I did, so PhilTheFragger
Funnily enough, I use the same moniker on WGT Golf and the yanks are always asking if its a gay sex thing, I cant be bothered to put them right

The Avitar is me in fancy dress for a party as Darth Maul, nothing to do with Fragging in any context

 

[Hobbit]

Hobbits have hairy feet. I have hairy feet. My kids came up with dad’s a Hobbit.

Avatar; it’s the silhouette of an Andalucian bull, and I live in Andalucia, Spain. The silhouette is found between home and Granada - think Angel of the North…

What’s the world come to if you need to spell out FPS and what Quake is

Fun fact: Joe Rogan had a T1 line at home to play Quake online

Who's been talking?

 

[Robster59]

Oook! although my favourite is DEATH

I like them both. Maybe I should change my username to Ook!

Moonpond Lane’s finest

Change mine to Bill Door. Good ‘ole Bill…

Did you try Rainbow Six?
That was an awesome FPS, which was around just as 1 meg cons can into being.

 

[venger]

Username is from the 80s cartoon Dungeons and Dragons. As for my avatar, well who doesn’t love some pink castle tees.

 

[spongebob59]

Wife bought me a spongebob driver head cover one Christmas so the swindle started calling me this, strangely this was already taken so just added 59 to make it my forum name.
As for the avatar, in my early days I had a few temper tantrums and Tasmanian devil was also a name I was called occasionally, not like that now of course

 

[Oops!]

Okay, the name is obvious: he describes my game succinctly and accurately.
I would use the appropriate smiley - - as my avatar, however I don't dare: copyright infringements can be (too) expensive (for me)...!

 

[Bazz]

It was Bazzatron, but then I realised I wasn't a child, but Baz was taken and nobody wants to admit to be called Barry if they don't have to.

 

[BrianM]

I'm not sure where to start......

Go ahead Brian. We can't wait!
