[Closed] What's the meaning behind your user name?

it's what people call me innit

Short, wide, and hairy.

I was buffetslayer on the old forum, which accounts for the wide.

Nothing to do with politics, religion or animal rights, it's because I own an AEC Militant recovery truck.

This one, in fact.

Because it's what Bristolians say to the driver when they get off the bus. I'm not Bristolian or a bus driver but after a while their version of English becomes kind of endearing.

school bus pass circa 1992, had the first 5 letters of your last name, followed by your initials and DOB at the bottom, so mine was meeha, JA. Kind of stuck.

Cue a lot of p!ss taking from my mates, the numbers are simple my year of birth backwards.

I wanted the username 'mango' as I like to eat them and also like the colour, but it had been taken when I registered on the old site. So instead of starting a new though process I added my favourite hobby.

I also liked the way it could be read in a me tarzan you jane kinda way, man go ride bike, wife stay in kitchen 😉

From an old roadie term from when leather saddles had a rivet on the nose. When you're really going for it using every last bit of energy riding pushed forward giving it everything you'd be riding 'on the rivet'. It's a term much used by Sean Kelly on Eurosport usually accompanied by Sean's favourite saying of 'Yes eehh he's really giving it 100 percent'

I had a short spell of constantly breaking stuff. Wheels, brakes, shocks, foot, it just seemed to go on. I should get paid to trial new products. If you want to know if something will withstand real world conditions, send it to me. I seem to have a knack of destroying stuff. I know it's a naff user name, but very apt.

Do I need to explain?

Thought not.

Always assumed "this is not a spoon" was a nod to the Matrix quote...

Neo: What truth?
Boy: There is no spoon...

If yer out there - would love to know...

For me - it was an old nickname - probably came from the fact that I am kinda large combined with a nod to the Edgar Allan Poe story Fall of the House of ... link to my surname...

a)My face looks like a Jackson Pollock painting after a particularly muddy ride.

b)Its an homage to The Stone Roses, one of my favorite bands.

c)Its rhyming slang I sometimes use for testicles!

I am not here.

I breed penguins for use in local restaurants.

Combination of the shop I run (Pefect Balance Cycles) and trying to be modest about my riding skills and state of mind.

Cos most of my mates were ****less artistic types laying around smoking and planning their next big gig/band/canvas and I was always willing to break out the tools to fix or build stuff for them to stop them living in toatl squallor.

I became revered as some kind of alchamist who actually owned tools and knew what to do with them and the nickname developed.

Because no-one does surnames like Orcadians.
