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

[CRA1G]

Craig had already been taken and CRA 1G was on two pieces of white and yellow plastic attached to my car....

[DaveH23]

I once knew someone called Dave who was 23.

[Carbon Sasquatch]

I used to have a large carbon footprint

[sidewinder500]

That about sums it up

[thewarlock]

The name I wanted was taken. I was listening to Probot/Jack Black "I am the Warlock" at the time.

And you love “H” from Steps?

[DocJock]

Nickname from my time in the Forces.

[Riley Blue]

Same old blue car, same old user name.

[Spanglepants]

It was a name we used to take the p*ss out of a mate with. Only used it because i couldn't be bothered to think another one up.

[Desiderata]

I've always liked the Max Ehrmann poem, had a poster of it on my student days wall (like millions of others), and tried to live my life along those lines but gradually drifted away in pursuit of Mamon.
A few years ago I had a "mid-life crisis" and reassessed my life and tried to go back to basic principles. I think I'm doing well with that at the moment.
My on-line profiles reflected my old life so I deleted them and reinvented myself more in line with " that which I would like to be".
I think "Desiderata" suits the new me.

Just looked this up as I did not recall it. I have not seen it in years. A bit homespun, but good advice nonetheless, worth bearing in mind as I go through life getting wound up by the little stuff.

Was it me? (Would have been a while ago though…. )

[AlBondigaz]

Saw Albondigas on a Spanish menu many years ago and just thought, that's now my internet name. Changed the 's' to a 'z' coz it made it sound even cooler.

[CourtAgain]

Had issues with my licence (not to Katie Price levels, but totting up ) went to Court on 9 points expecting a ban, but case adjourned several times due to Covid... so had to go to Court Again for a 6 month ban last summer

[Chubbyross]

I had a group of friends who thought I looked like a chubby version of Ross from that popular Friends situation comedy. I don’t. And I’m not fat.

I’m actually called Simon.

[L500]

My first TVR Griffith reg started with L500. That’s all. Miss that machine.
