[Closed] Where does your username come from 2017?

1. I like early medieval Northumbrian history.
2. I am, like medieval Northumbrians, mostly Germanic.
3. I ride bikes.

I'm slow, old and male.

A certain film.
Had to add the UK bit as the yank forum already had a user

I am, like medieval Northumbrians, mostly Germanic.

50p says you're not.

It's my name (I know right, what was I thinking)

Mine is quite simply Samsung backwards 🙂

I live in the south and I smell like a yeti.

I am therefore I am.

An advert for biscuits.

Dinosaur called Dave though innit bruv. Raaargh etc.

50p says you're not.

Well, I suppose I could have Jewish blood and/or Native Canadian blood and/or Celtic blood, but the fact that my father was 100% German, whose family migrated from West Prussia to East Prussia and then to Ukraine, while my mother's English father was actually Swiss German, I would say that I am running somewhere in the 75% area.

But I don't think this thread is about debating ethnic make-up.

Aide is my nickname was going to put 46 on the end (certain motorcyclist) but forgot

I typed my email address in the wrong box when registering.

However, the Kryton thing is a misspelling of Kryten of course. I inherited this name because allegedly in my 20's when roaring drunk I adopted a certain type of knees-out walk...

aide - Member

Aide is my nickname and the 46 i stole off a certain motorcyclist

What 46?

^ looks like he stole it back?!

Ha ha - edited now, forgot to put it on when i signed up

My name begins with P and Funk is bloody great music!

Bike next to my chair when signing in.

But I don't think this thread is about debating ethnic make-up.

quite so. When we meet, I'll explain why, and you can give me 50p which I'll use to partly pay for the pint I'll buy you. 😆

Singletrack confusion

Weird. I forgot to stick a 46 on the end of my name too.

Somewhat unimaginatively.....

Not my pic. But my first 'proper' mountain bike. Look how steep it looks - no wonder OTB was my favourite crash style.

I've been called Binners since I was at school (1867). Our kid started to call me Bin Lid as it rhymes with Our Kid, it stuck, then got appropriated to Binners. I love that my little nieces call me Uncle Binners 😀

Weird. I forgot to stick a 46 on the end of my name too.

I'd intended to put 46 at the beginning of mine.

mine was a just a random selection of letters which unfortunately formed a recognisable phrase.

Soma,

for the fictional drug in one of my fav books Aldous Huxley's Brave New World and it is the name of my fav record label from Glasgow

Somafunk because that is what we used to call the slightly out of this world feeling on a sunday/monday/tuesday that 48hrs of friday and saturday clubbing at the sub club would leave us with.

EG : Phew!.......I'm in a right somafunk after last nights session.

I'm just happy being me...

[i]A haggis is a fictional creature of Scottish folklore, said to be native to the Scottish Highlands.[/i]

Just like a haggis, I have one leg shorter than the other,so I am very fast at running round hillsides (anti clockwise).

My name is Jef. I tend to make up silly names for things.

I set up my AOL account 18 years ago. For STW I dropped the 99.

I have really really really really hairy feet.

I used to be a petrolhead. Then about 15 years ago I decided I liked bikes more.

I continually find myself eating things sandwiched between bread.

For the same reason it did in 2012.

For STW I dropped the 99.

Still don't get why you transposed the B and the Z?

For the same reason it did in 2012.

Thanks for your input Junky. I'll check again next week to make sure it's not changed if that's ok?

I'm the captain, (much) more often than not.

my name / initial - but whenever i tell people it in real life, they always say 'what THE jon v?" and i have to say no, not that jonv, theotherjonv

also, male.

Sent to the headmasters office (age 11) for using an accelerant to sequentially light 45 Bunsen burners in series during one particularly boring science class, my friends told me I was "Daffy Ducked". It stuck.

It aptly describes my general state of being

I am a pole-lathe turner. Pole-lathe turners are generically known 'bodgers'.

Because I'm purer than the driven snow, and I can't spell

I’m shite at jumps

I thank you.

My initials....

I think my Dad (with my Mom's unknowing agreement) chose names that meant my initials matched a certain car manufacturer who was very prominent during the 1960's. They're still around today and now I work for them!!

Cut'n'paste from 2010:

I got sent a poem, with the comment "Remind you of anyone?"

ESME ON HER BROTHER'S BICYCLE
One foot on, one foot pushing, Esmé starting off beside
Wheels too tall to mount astride,
Swings the off leg forward featly,
Clears the high bar nimbly, neatly,
With a concentrated frown
Bears the upper pedal down
As the lower rises, then
Brings her whole weight round again,
Leaning forward, gripping tight,
With her knuckles showing white,
Down the road goes, fast and small,
Never sitting down at all.
(by Russell Hoban)

I still do the frown and the white knuckles, but given up on nimbly, neatly and featly 🙁

Lead character in the Clive Cussler novels - and like the character I'm an engineer and used to scuba dive, and the 74 is when I was born.

"Is it about a bicycle?"

A long time ago, there was an Italian company that made MTB suspension forks that also doubled as a useful weapon to defend one's house with. A longer time ago, before they sold the name to a cheap Chinese company to make crap forks, their lighter weight elastomer-sprung range were called Zokes. Guess which were the first pair of forks to adorn my beloved 1994 GT Outpost...

What my job is,
And a number that I don't forget

Thisisaspoon was taken along with every single sensible thing I could come up with when I tried to get a yahoo e-mail address in about 2002.

Really annoyingly I managed to get my actual name @yahoo.co.uk a few years later, signed it into outlook and used it until one day I got locked out because I'd not signed into yahoo for however many years! Wrote a pissy letter to Yahoo about it as they re-assigned it to someone else who will now be getting all my e-mails (and if they type that address into a website they get a mail from it'll send password re-sets too)! All in all an utter ballache.

I tried every combination of Simon and they were all taken so just came up with simmy

It's not an 'S'

On my world it means "hope".

I love all things Sci-Fi and have a weather control device (which sadly malfunctions meaning all my night rides back from the pub are cold, wet and bordering on hypothermic, well those that I can remember).

I also have a cloaked Dreadnought in orbit.

Some school system give this as my username in the early 90’s, it is weird shorted hash of my given names.

I think mine is self-explanatory

Name and year of birth. Proper imaginative I am!

My name is Adam and I like the back row positions of the scrum in Rugby Union even though I played in the front row.

Two of my favourite things.

Due to my tendency for idle timewasting

Jekyll was my online gaming and MSN chat user name, for no other reason than I thought it sounded cool at the time, nothing to do with Cannondale bike of the same name. For a time it was 'TheJekyll' - Then one day I stumbled upon this forum and wanting to ask a question about brakes or something I hurriedly entered the same name to find that Jekyll was already taken, so I just missplelled it slightly. Cue many people over the years telling me I've spelt Jekyll wrong. I wish I had spent more time choosing a decent name given the amount of time I spend on here. It's stupid name and I'd maybe rather people call me 'Jek' or Michael 😀

northern and called matt

On this and many other fora

I was, in a past life, an aeronautical engineer with a want for making the impractical fly. I also talk gibberish.

A friend's comment after I'd purchased yet another bike.

I'm now NoCashNoDash

Still don't get why you transposed the B and the Z?

You've seen how us ladies get treated on the Internet?!

My bike at the time was a Vitus Blitz and it was only 5 letters to type.

Like a shaggy ox with a notoriously poor alcohol tolerance.

It is more a philosophy. I am also quite good at finding the shortest route back to the cafe or to the good bit of trail.

I had this name well before strava was invented and so well before starva lines and shortcuts came about. I also predate the Scott No Shortcuts tagline.

I've been unlucky enough to contract schizophrenia no less that 5 times. 😯

My name is Edd.

A tin of Aldi energy drink 🙁

I’m a sailor at heart so hence the Bouy part and I ride bikes too hence the bi.....

On a surfing forum I’m also Bouy but with Fins added...

Simples huh.

I’m a dyslexic sailor at heart so hence the Bouy part

Energy products destroy my digestive system.

I got banned and then snuck back in!
I also used to be a botanist.

Got mine at Aldi, obvs.
