    I loved mine.

    After doing Liverpool to Leeds in a day:

    That simple. Old forum name I’ve been using since the show started and just stuck with it as can’t be arsed to think up a new one.

    Though the joke is well worn (they stopped killing Kenny years ago, at least regularly).

    As I say sometimes – I’m not dead (I think), and my name’s not Kenny 😉

    It’s how my ex’s 2 year old daughter used to describe me. I may be hairy but I don’t think I’m scary.

    Hello, but it’s M’yrag,

    Myrag was funnier in my head, but I’m a bit special like that.

    Hello Mr M’yrag 🙂

    When I joined my first internet forum it asked me for a username and I looked out the window and saw our regular blackbird. He had been visiting since he was a juvenile and had been dubbed ‘scruffy’.
    He was the first thing I saw so that was my name.
    When I joined here I wanted a new user name, Scruffy was the name of the janitor in Futurama, and as we learned in Family guy the new janitor will be Sweepy.

    I read the “curious incident of the dog in the night” I think it was in morzine (had read my book and CIDITN had been left in the chalet so I swapped as it looked the least crap book there) and thought it was brilliant/hilarious that your brain lied to you all the time.

    saccades is the eye moving from fixed point to fixed, however the brain can’t cope with the moving picture so it turns off/ignores what you see whilst the eye is moving and puts a nice picture of what it thinks is there instead (kinda).

    A bit like when the A-team break into a place and put a polaroid over the security camera.

    My old avatar name (manaic5) was a 1 off story in 2000ad that is a better name as a kid I feel. Saccades was pretty much untaken on the web too.

    I feel I should. But I think really there is no good or easy explanation. It was just something that was in my head when I filled in the webform all those years ago and now I’m stuck with it…

    An old employer, many years back, just as we were starting to use email and unable to access work server other than in the office(!), set up an email account for all staff of myname_outandabout at hotmail.com. When I left I just kept it as my email account.

    Mine is a contraction of “why don’t you deride her”, because that is what I was saying to General Caulfield whilst I was setting up my profile on the site.

    As an aside, I live close to this. Mind you, I didn’t when I picked the name, but I kept cycling back and forth over the Corrieyairrack.

    Real names Barry, get called Baz by some people. Years ago I worked with a guy who took great delight in carrying out suprise attacks on me to check my reflexes ( think Kato from The Pink Panther..). One day he hid in a service lift that I mistakenly thought was too small for a person to hide in, when I opened the door he launch at me shouting “bazwadah!”. Use it a lot as it tends to be available as a username

    Pimpmaster Jazz

    Your name is forever in my head. At a former workplace we all had employee numbers that were also our log in for the computer system, payroll stuff, online training courses, all sorts of shit they made us do. Three ‘random’ letters and 6 numbers; mine was PJM11xx12 (better not reveal in case someone else works at the same place and the number’s still live somewhere)

    Oddly, it wasn’t until just reading your reason why it came about I’ve just realised that your name is Pimpmaster jazz which would be PMJ, not PJM. Thus making my mnemonic utterly irrelevant.

    Thankfully I’m over you now anyway so the discrepancy doesn’t matter.

    Can someone post a ‘Cool Story, Bro’ for me?

    Seems apt. And I’m touched. 😆

    http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Devash

    Basically a word me and a mate coined decades ago at school.

    The reason why I ended up using it on here was because we’d both bought tickets to do the Isle of Man E2E a few years ago but he buggered his knee in training so we had to drop out and sell our tickets, which we both thought was a bit devash.

    As a long time lurker, I signed up on here to put my ticket on the for sale forum and ended up sticking around.

    This was my nick name on a site I worked on and was scrawled on my hard hat, locker & tool box.. Created by shortening Ricardo to Cardo
    Its a more pleasant name compared to some of the others that were handed out and stuck to my colleagues.

    Used to do lots of motorbike track days and the first corner at knockhill always scared the crap out of me. Found I’ve been miss-spelling it for the last decade this week and it should have a double ‘f’… Doh!
