until someone clicks on your profile, they won't know who you are, which could be either a pro or a con guess the only con is if you forget your new login. will have the same problem when we eventually get the chim, do I change or keep it the same

Yeah, thought of that, so it wont be car-related. I`m considering- Tumour, Hoopoe, Twitcher, but my favourite is "Twitchy" (for several reasons)

That was very funny

Romanymagic has been my log in name for a number of years in all things web based. It originates from the following:

Romany - relates to my Romany Gypsy background (not pikey!!!!)

Magic - relates to my forename being Jamie and kids at school for ever taunting me about "Jamie and his magic torch" - kids cartoon from the 70's.
