Military nickname for the blokes in the Raf Regt, of which I was once a part of many, many years ago!

Still get grief now whenever anyone hears that 🙄

Signed up to another forum with this user name soon after I'd been knocked off and used my face to slow myself and the bike (to which I was still attached) down.

I don't recommend it - tarmac won

I tried to photoshop James off the forum but couldn't, so have had to settle for Jamie.
The reality is I hate it when people call me Jamie 🙁

I was buffetslayer on the old forum. My skills on that front might be why I ended up with the body shape my current username alludes to?

Old footy manager used to shout 'gerit to langylad' as I was on the wing.
Strange as I'm called Loretta.

Ex girlfriend bought me a round squashy thing 20 odd years ago. It's called a mudmonster and is supposed to relieve stress. Biking relieves stress better though and now and again I get covered in mud.

I made it up.

I did consider asking the mods* to change it a few years ago as I was a bit sensitive to double meaning but kind of learned to love it in the end.

Rather predictably, it's my name.

I was given my name by a dear (now deceased) friend who was known as the Earl of Wisbech - I used to live in Church Gresley, and co-incidentally before that grew up a couple of miles from Netherseal Rectory where Sir Nigel Gresley grew up.

My online gaming name used to be Butt Nugget in Counter Strike BITD mainly as I was so bad at it for months. Until it became a bit of a (bad) obsession and I got pretty damned good at the game.

I then went a bit more upmarket with Poopscoop.

Then started using it on forums and the like.

Back in the day, Leffeboy and a couple of our mates produced a short lived mountain bike flyer called Moont.

In those days random punters could show up at a World Cup cross country race and shared the start line with the pros. At one of the Grundig or Carlsberg sponsored races at Rothiemurchus the Italian announcer tried to find me over the PA. He mispronounced my surname as MC Laren. MC Hammer was big at the time. The unlikely prefix stuck.

A meta-fictional character whose name is often mis-pronounced and talks toot.

Years back a bloke on the Corrado forum started a thread with a title making erroneous offers of free bacon. A suitably outraged mod changed his screen name to "I lie about free bacon".

I used to be Bows3r, then the night of the great STW server meltdown, I was home alone, the wife was night shift, and I had absolutely no refreshments.

It's just my middle name - given to me in remembrance of my great uncle Wynne, a man from a tiny Welsh hamlet who became a Mosquito navigator and was killed in ww2.

It's what the kids I taught in Thailand many years ago called me.
Became my default online user name, as it always seemed to be free.

Did any usernames remain intact through the apocalypse of STW ? I can't remember when I joined but my username has, boringly, always been my name and I've been here since I had a full head of hair 🙂

I honestly have no idea whatsoever. I can't remember where it came from. I'm neither oblong, nor Bob.

I fell trees.
And it is, with a dose of imagination, phonetically close to my pre hack username that was just name and initial.

I spend/t [s]too much[/s] a lot of time tinkering with bikes and other stuff in the garage.

The master of, I'll just change my brake pads, back in ten minutes and three hours later I seem to have built / rebuilt an entire bike or decided to reorganise my tools alphabetically excluding those whose names are divisible by 3.

My old pre crash user name was about proximity to the local trail centre which I no longer live as near.

My superhero name. My special power is procrastinating on sofas. The 73 is year off birth, it appears my superpowers are not unique!
