Your Screen Name

[boban]

Boban was a "football" player who played for AC Milan and came from the same region as my parents. Followed his career and adopted his name for forums. Pathetic I know, but its easy to remember.

[Tankstand]

Tankstand,

Shortened from Tankus Standus Ah Um.

Given unto me by a team mate.

A reference to my strength, stature and no doubt, intelligence!

Although when Stoppers and U met me they were dissapointed that I didn't have three legs!?

[slab cutter]

I couldn't think of any thing else, I've been cutting slabs for the last
4 days an loving it.

[Grunt]

I've been drinking slabs for longer than I can remember. 'bout 6 minutes.

[DanP]

Hence "Grunt".

[mutanti]

Well Mutanti In Italian means ...........

You Work it out..
I dont know if its spelt right but youll have a laugh when you work it out.
Its my online itenity for most places I go online.

[Jack E]

Jack has been a long standing nickname and E is the first letter of my surname.

People have been surprised to learn my real name is not Jack, even after knowing me for years. SWMBO still calls me Jack as that is what she was introduced to me as and we have been together for five and a half years.

Jack.

[spbookie]

I was trying to get a an online email address that I could remember. I had tried 10 of 15 different ones and kept getting "That name is not available, would you like Charles1827374728". I was reading an article on the history of St Kilda and it's seedy past and there was a long section about the illegal bookies, so I tried Spbookie (Starting Price Bookie) and it worked. So I keep using it.

Perhaps Squizzy and I should start a forum underworld gang. Hijacking threads and liberating red wine as specialities.

Charles

[Stuart]

When first signed up, I was already the webmaster for the Triton club, and decided to not disappear behind a pseudonym (thanks for the spelling Stueysnail). Neil (aka Ubeaut) (aka God) invited me to moderate, and it seemed appropriate to stay with my real name. If I had my choice over......yeah I'd probably change it. I may not have posted as much as some in my time on the board, but I am kind of attached the momentum of it all

My only real change to my identity is I now peruse the board in invisible mode. I may now be a moderator, but I'm first and foremost just another member of this community, and the role seems to attract an extra amount of cheap shots from the Kenmils of this world.

Mutande or for you wife caizoncini

[Iain]

When I was born my Mum wanted to call me Ian, the old man would not hear of it "ye'll noo giv tha lad a sassenach name' or something along those lines.
So Iain it was much to the disgust of numerous government departments who tell me it's spelled incorrectly.
I had a variety of nicknames over the years, mostly derogatory so I kept those out and one I held for a long time was 'Angel' which I had no intention of ever using.
'Dr Who' was another I earned while working for Community Based Corrections, for it was observed by villains that I had the means to materialise whilst they were in the process of being 'naughty' just before I dragged them into court and suggested a holiday might be in order.
I chose neither of these names and just decided to keep mine
And my avatar came about after a local committee tried to screw me and I nailed them to the wall, and loved it
If you want to play lawyer, don't play with me, you'll lose

nuthin like a good stoush with a collective of morons

[burn]

To a couple of forum members I met at the Sydney WWW show, I actually use the name 'Burn' on my business cards. The legal name is Bernard, but back at Uni, when I applied for a user name on a computer, a staff member had 'Bernie', so as I was just a mere student, it was felt that my login name should be different enough for people not to confuse me with the staff member - so Burn was born.

I got a reasonably well known in my field, whilst wokring at the University, but not as my real name, but as my then e-mail address! When I allowed myself to be bought by private industry (what can I say, I was a trollop back then), they also wanted my 'name' as well as skill set.

The name stuck.

Regards
Burn
