Where does your username come from?

From a shared house at Uni, neighbours owned a deviant and very sneaky Tomcat with huge and overactive testicles and spray glands. It sprayed most of our house – bikes, motorbikes, crapped in the garden – sprayed that too.

It was named Roger one drunken evening after the collective punishment we decided it needed if we ever caught it.

We found it doing a manhole impression on Bromyard Rd,but decided feline necrophilia was taking things a bit far so threw it over the neighbours fence.

In tribute to him I adopted the name on the first forum I used and it’s stuck!

because my surnames darcy and i was known at uni for being quite deadly with the ladies 8)

Colon Waxel

If those two are really the same person then, well, I’m Edukator and Solo too.

I usually go by another “handle” on forums etc, but thought something punning on the world of MTB would be a rite larf.

It only makes sense if you aren’t Welsh.

Unfortunate accident with the lab mascot and a protein crosslinker, hence Beagleboy. You should see me go after rabbits though. 😉

I’m Edukator and Solo too.

Because my 1st log in is already in use.

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 http://www.BigBikeBash.co.uk and not WorldClassAccident.

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

You got the first 2 letters wwaswas 🙂

Its a crap reference to my old bike.(green-ish Giant XTC)

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:

Pretty boring really, my name is Andy w, and my other sport is this:

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.
