Your Screen Name

[DanP]

Grunt, I don't think I want to know the real reason for yours.

Dear dear dear.

You've made me nervous enough to give a "straight" answer.

On another forum, over about ten years, I was referred to as Greg, then Grogs, then Grogster, then Groggy. This evolved largely because of one other member who used the terms, and others picked up on it. So there you go.

[RETIRED]

Oh Dear.

That wasn't the AA forum was it ?

[journeyman Mick]

Cause life's a journey, man!
Well actually because a journeyman was someone who had done their apprenticeship and travelled from job to job to refine their skills and broaden their knowledge. But the idea that life is a journey (or should be), and that you should never stop learning is something I believe in.

Mick

[Caliban]

It's a shortening of my surname.
The kids I teach always call a teacher "" or "Thommo" like that Car ad on telly where all the blokes name's end in "Oh"
And I'm such a creative soul I just had to be original
So like craig, I realised too late it wasn't a smart move, but I don't want to do a Doorstop and come back under a cleverer handle, Like Jimmy or Jamesey

It was a woodworking forum, rec.winebarrel.coopering - so there!

I thought it was because it was a long way to the shop.

If you want a sausage roll?

Isn't that an AC/DC song?

A tad too much info there I think mr Apricot.

[Ashore]

My wife came up with a company name when I retired from the sea. When I came A shore, and ashore engineering produced a sure result or so the story goes but found that part time work produced more work than when I was at sea so I retired again full time to ride Bikes and play in the shed.


The trouble with life is there's no background music.

[Driver]

One of my kids told me some years ago that if alien beings were to study me (hopefully only when I'm wearing my foily ) they would observe that I have spent a great deal of my time driving cars. I've never been employed as a driver but I've driven cars in all sorts of strange places over many years. So: Driver.

(One of my former work colleagues, an occasional contributor to this BB, reckons that Driver is a shortened version of Slave Driver but that's just a calumny).
