Mistumonkey, because I had a succession of Mitsubishi Pajero/Shoguns, I've now got a Toyota Land Cruiser so I reckon the name should now be Toymonkey!

Devoid of creative thought when registering it's the model name for an old set of Volkl skis I had.

The night before I joined in been to a circuit training class where we'd done a lot of lunges, it was the first word that jumped into my head when I was registering.

I've a cloaked Dreadnaught in orbit. Unfortunately I've forgotten the password login, two more failed attempts and it rains Atomic death down on me.

I got banned so rejoined with a smart arsed latin name. I was a botanist at the time.

Thanks for the tip off. Now banned again.

I thought it was a 'funny' slight mispronunciation on Wales' best MTB place, but its a crappy name really.

What was "mastyles fanylion" (IIRC) all about? That one had me wondering.

It is Gaelic for black dog. I am Scottish and suffer from depression. It felt appropriate.

It was the name I christened my first singlespeed with, liked it so chose it too.
Its just a amalgam of a couple of Latin words that sounded good together,

now my main email address that's a more long winded tale...

I was living in the Eden valley (Cumbria) when I set the account up. Not there now and I wasn't a boy when I set it up...always wonder if that makes me a bit like those dubious chat room stalkers faking their age.... 😀

Nickname given by colleagues not long after my then manager made the mistake of promoting me to a job involving organisational skills. And used on other forums (any windsurfers / runners around?).

It was actually meant to be CaptainChaos but that had been taken.

Mine is straightforward - my main bike was an Epic (and still is) and I'm called Steve.

As a Welsh learner, found out that copa means top or summit.
So I used that. And I only post if I've got summit to say.

A-A has admitted that before and its a very clever name. Hopefully not really banned

Me it was a Poker name - it was essentially given by a guy who would just give folk a poker name - we never even played poker.

Needed something on here - no one ever called me that ever - and for some reason used that

Been called it by folk who I only meet for STW rides but not really used anywhere but here.

Cajun spicey rice, simple everyday food from the Bayou around New Orleans. I spent a few epic weekends there watching American football, listening to music, eating and definitely drinking too nuch. Happy times. Its generally my forum name and called my sailing boats Jambalaya first of all.

Mine came about because I groomed well before going out, had an affiliation for the finest 70s clobber and could apparently get away with advances on the fairer sex others couldn't. Then I DJ'd (in the loosest sense of the word) at a friend's party before he left for Australia and Pimp, Master of the Jazz (because I played an abundance of 70s jazz-funk and some jazzy hip hop) came about.

It was cemented as a DJ while dwelling in that there London where I played a few sets for London Surf Club socials (before the real DJs arrived that could actually mix) and became my [i]nom de plume[/i] in forumland on Bikemagic during the days of legend.

As a Dad with a 'proper' job it seems a little daft now, but there you go. I still like 70s shirts and jazz-funk, so I guess there's still an element of relevance.

I was an early adopter of ski blades many moons ago when i got bored of boarding/skiing. Suffice to say i was awesome at it so when people ask what winter sport i do/like i used to just say,tongue in cheek of course, "I'm a blader". I just added my football shirt numbers at the end to make it long enough for some other forums.

Did have an alternative back before The Big Hack, when such antics were possible, but it kept causing login issues between different platforms, and after the Hack I kept this one.
I really wish I'd gone with the other one I used, I'm really rather bored with this one, although not with the book.
Having said that, there's another username I've got for other places, which I'd use for continuity reasons, given the opportunity.

Mine is really boring and self explanatory.. Year I was born and my first name and initial of surname.

Wish I had been wittier when I signed up many years ago!

Until just now, I've always read your name as 1981Milked 🙂

That said I also read Scotroutes as 'Socrates' in my head, so maybe I've just got something munching on a vital part of my brai[b]<collapses>[/b].

It's was my icebreaker question at parties , instead of asking 'what do you study' etc I would ask them how their dad was .

As I got older the answers got a little more awkward so dropped it .
