[Closed] Where does your username come from?

CountZero - Member

Look it up, I really can't be arsed to explain it all over again.

It's an ironic take on the "from zero to hero" saying where because of my uncanny ability to fail in almost every situation my wife says that I'm always [B]Count[/b]ing from Hero to [b]Zero[/b].

❓

It's my cars name 🙂

From my punk youth following Crass (bloke on the right).

Used to be nicknamed Stavros when I had a moustache but that had been taken. So I chose the place where Arthur Dent is meant to be killed.

Now this is just an accident waiting to happen, isn't it?

😆

it was either this or std-clinic-al.

I had a blur when I first logged on here. The bike only lasted about three months, so for years it's meant nothing.

I did change after the hack to Barry_Bethel, but then it reverted back to this.

I like climbing (chalk) and biking (trees) and decided to use a cunning play on words to come up with my username. I realise it makes no sense but it's mine.

After my favourite band.

It's a long, long story, but very simple...

My name's Matt and i won the 500th Formula Ford race at Castle Combe 🙂

From the conversations relating to the devastating effect a weekends road racing, energy products and some booze has had on my digestive system. To be fair, once I've taken a viper boost bar there can be trouble for days.

During a visit to the pub for lunch when training I would order a bacon sandwich & ask for 'crispy bacon' the name stuck with my fellow trainees 🙂

Been called Woody since I went to school and nothing (usually) to do with [url= http://content.usatoday.com/communities/driveon/post/2012/04/man-sues-bmw-for-persistent-erection-after-bike-ride/1?csp=hf#.T64Y_mbyM5b ]THIS[/url] 😉

I have absolutely no idea where the inspiration came from.... especially as I prefer steeper angles.

Cross dressing DH junkie perhaps

mmnnnnggghhhh

I have a big smile so always called zippy.
Zippy is always taken so added my fave bike.

a restaurant in Piraeus named Captain's John's.

Basically it does what it says on the tin.

"Flying
And you know I'm not coming down
You're trying
But you know you must soon go down
All my colours
Turn to clouds
All my colours
Turn to cloud

What d'you say
When your heart's in pieces
How to play
Those cards in sequence
That box you gave me
Burned nicely
That box you gave me
Burned nicely

Flying down
Flying down

All my colours
Turn to clouds
All my colours
Turn to cloud

Hey I'm flowing
Hey I'm flowing
That box you gave me
Burned nicely
That box you gave me
Burned nicely
Hey I've flown away
Hey I've flown away
All my colours"

Anyone else know it/love it...?

Can you change your name?

something to do with being a scary whirling animal in the pit at gigs. Whereas in reality I'm a little sweetie who looks all cute and fluffy 😀

White paper bag. Too many jars and tubs to choose from. The solution was to get the shopkeeper to choose....

Fairhurst is my last name 🙂

I drink tea.

Graham got shortened to Grum at some point when I was small - it stuck and it's what everyone calls me including family. 🙂

Named after our elderly black lab, currently snoring on the sofa....at least I think the noise is coming out of that end rather than the other. I'll know shortly.

Real name is Paul
Got into Roman stuff after watching Gladiator years ago. So did a Romanised spell it like its said version of my name. Pants tbh lol.

Used to DJ alternative/electronic nights at Uni, not my 'DJ Name' but used it as a username on Unreal Tournament and other such online fun and it stuck.

my road bike is red, and a dolce.

User name comes from my first "proper" bmx which I got in 1985, although it was technically a Redline Prostyler, and not their Proline...

My first sporting love before I got into biking was basketball and my favourite team, the Orlando Magic, used to play home games at the Orlando Arena, which was usually shortened to the 'O-rena'...

...and 45 comes from the number one of my favourite Magic players (Charles 'Bo' Outlaw) wore...

The green room: It's the bad place you go in a kayak when things go wrong, ie. held underwater for extended periods, and in nice clear water the light is very green.

german for alpine. n othing to do with my bike....

Better get an obvious one in in case folk are nervous following a legend.

I'll be 47 this week, and have a habit of leaving the bike or the trail unexpectedly.

I'm a racing snake called Kevin

High school nickname, some people from my home town probably still don't know my real name!

I became quite a fan of psychoactive substances as a young adult so the nickname may have been a self fulfilling prophesy.

i am anonymous

and an alcoholic

and an alien from ashby

Used to play University Hockey when studying in Bolton

Every 2nd week enabled us to visit another Uni to play a match.

My team was shite (won 2 games in around 100 matches), but we ALWAYS won the post-match boat race

Would generally refuse the mini-bus journey home and stay and get lashed up with the hosting team

Different teams who i got to know started calling me Boltonjon and its stuck since then

The mad rush to a random train station most Thursday mornings to get a train back for 9am lectures would always be fun!

Them' were the days!!

When I started mountain biking I'd think that I was getting to the top then I'd turn the corner and there's a bigger climb than the one i've just done. So what always came into my head was ( well fcck me ) it became a regular saying of mine.

Er, I like to think I'm an affable type of chap. Plus it rhymes..

I got mine from Lidl - it was ok at the time, but wore out pretty quickly

My name is Schri Ckvr, but schrickvr 1 2 3 4 and 5 were already taken.

my name is jack, and when I'm not having a bumble I'm usually in a flap.

Named by Phil at MBMB in Chamonix as I was always last to be ready. It stuck and I am often called it in public - especially in car parks by folk waiting for me...

the ninkynonk is a very bizarre train in the kids tv show "in the night garden". i tow my twin girls round in a burly trailer and the term just stuck to anything bike related

The proprietor of a late night drinking club in 70/80's Paddington was a German ex Hitler youth, larger than life etc, character, and he named me Billyboy.........and I became lumbered with it. Then I couldn't get a normal user name for various webmail etc sites so I just continued with it......

Running my shop (Perfect Balance Cycles) takes up a lot of my life but it keeps me sane -- most of the time.
