[Closed] Where does your username come from?

I used to be Big Bike Bash but was asked to relinquish the name. Apparently there is an amazing festival in August of the same name and they didn't want any confusion.

So if you want to go to the New Forest for a whle weekend of Beer, Bikes and Bands you should go the www.BigBikeBash.co.uk and not WorldClassAccident.

[url= http://www.BigBikeBash.co.uk ]I hope that is clear and that no-one feels I am in any way promoting the best bike fest in the UK with the only lake jump and malt loaf eating competition available.

My initials are 'JAB' but this is either normally taken or too short for most forums. Instead of competing with all the 'I want to be alphabetically first' types, I just settle for being alphabetically last on user-lists.

It's an anagram of my name.

I lost my log in details and was C40 after my Colnago, but got P20 back when the forum was reset

She-He 'n' Karma?

(Good band name)

I could explain........

I use it on every forum pretty much. In the social scene centered around a few music and band forums, it was shortened to BBS or more recently, Shed.

I like The Smiths.
I'm also a terrible, lazy mechanic.

I like it GS, you also got a letter. Here's a clue for the Herman hangmanagram:

Sh----- K---

I imagine only those I've bought from/sold to would get it. It's not the most common of names!

Because Im a lazy sod

I came from a windsurfing forum where I used (fin)bouy which fitted well as I use fins on my board and bob around in the sea a lot (like a bouy)

So here I simply replaced (fin) with bike and kept the bouy so I can still link myself to the sea..

New York, New York!

I've always been bakes, which is what people call me, but after the Great Hacking Debacle of Christmas 2008 I thought I'd change it in case it wouldn't let me have bakes again. I then changed it back to bakes when you could change your username, but then it changed to brakes.
this is not an interesting story, but I guess you've realised that.

because I'd lost the calling and I'd been faking...

Mines a song title by us hardcore band, The Misfits.

My initials - NJEE, not en-jee, although I tend to introduce myself as en-jee as everyone thinks it's that, and it's quicker to say!

The 20 came from when I signed up for Hotmail:

"njee is taken, would you like njee20?"

The film.

I used to have 5 Spot (see what I did?)

We are 138 is my favourite Misfit's song. Probably the version off Evilive with Rollins on it.

Although the first time I heard it was on tape and so distorted it sounded like someone was playing a trumpet in the background.

It's a Greek holiday thing from about 1993.

Its what I was riding at the time. Could have been Giant, On One or Claude but twas a quirk of fate how they were all stacked up in the kitchen.

TSY, you win the Hermanagram trophy:

Was my online gaming tag from the days of dial-up.... sheeesh that was a while ago!

Signing up for STW forum back in the day and needed a username. Looked up at the CD shelf above the PC and the first album I saw was 'Nixon' by Lambchop. That'll do I thought.

Ex-brickie, bike injuries put an end to that.

Ready when you are bjj.andy.w

I'm a tool.

My ability to break many many bike parts, most impressive when I got confused about how to install my brand spanking new raceface x-type cranks resulting in some VERY careful removal with an angle grinder.

Ecky-thump - you aint shoving one of those things anywhere near one of my orifices 😯

Song by Saint Etienne, like the acoustic guitars on it. At the time I liked Sarah Cracknell the singer even more.

I quite like my bed too, although my wife takes the duvet most of the time...
