What does your user name mean, and why did you choose it...?

[Pieman68]

Pieman because it was a nickname bestowed on me at uni by the rugby lads for my love of pastry products and my rotund frame

Now emblazoned with pride on the back of my rugby shirts along with my number 68 - which is one short of 69 and means I'll owe you one

[Hudson]

Aliens was my favourite film as a teenager so it kind of stuck and i'm used to typing it.

[Corpulent Tosser]

Because I am a Fat bd and Pistonheads wouldn't let me use that

Actually it was an expression used by a former colleague when referring me around the time I became a member, I quite liked it so used it.

[BurblingBrownOne]

I suffer from IBS

[Chisinau]

My first few choices were already taken, so the first thing that came to mind was the city I currently live in!

[Evoluzione]

I own one or two of the original Evos - the Italian ones naturally.

[PomBstard]

Common Australian term of endearment for a UK immigrant, as passed through a Rik Mayall filter.

again, simple brilliance.

[madazrx7]

I've gone backto my original name on PH. Madaz is a corruption I've seen used before and RX7 is obvious... I used to race RX3s and RX7s, many years ago. All seems rather irrelevant now as I haven't had a rotary for years.
I changed it to Tim the pool man for a few years but as that was my business name I decided it wasn't smart anyway. Sold the business a few years ago too, probably time for a name update...
Still use the TTPM moniker on Perth Street Bikes. Been thinking of changing it but always meet resistance coz that's what everyone has always known me as.
Thinking of shortening it to Tim the PM or even Tim TPM ( I'm a project manager again these days so it makes some sense)

[Nick Grant]

Because I want to take responsbility for what I post online and want to remind myself that it can be traced back to me.

[remkingston]

It's my name. i've become used to it.

[Professor Barney]

From the Simpsons - the stage before Barney has one too many Duff's and appears 'talkative, coherent, even insightful'... and then there's the next pint and it all goes wrong.

[Grey Ghost]

Changed my name after a few stalking issues..........chose Grey Ghost when I had the Cayman S as it was Seal Grey and no buggar to see it as I was never let out of side roads

Much better now I have the TVR

[Pixel Pusher]

Has Guffhoover posted yet?

[cirian75]

The cheat code for unlimited missiles on F29 Retaliator on the Amiga 500 was CIARAN

so I respelled it cirian and added the 75 as born in 1975 = Cirian75

[Le TVR]

Back in the early 90s nobody here had ever heard of TVR.
Nobody had ever seen one before.
Nobody knew of another one.

So the S was known as 'The TVR'.

I'm all of half an inch shorter than one of my best mates, so was bestowed this nickname. (Pints is short for Pintsize. Geddit?)


In truth, I'm not very tall anyway.

P.S. Hope EricMc pops in. Always wanted to know the origin of his username.

Either he was a 1990s rapper or it comes from his name, at a guess.

Mine is to do with how I make a living.


Not really, I had a good fake ID when I was 13 or 14 with which I could always get drinks and cigarettes and I chose this name because I didn't want my real name on it and I thought it was funny.

I've had some other names on here. I changed to this one last year when my ex fiancee was following my posts on here and texting/emailing me about them. I think I've decided on my next username here
