Why did you pick your username?

[JimK404]

It's been my online name for a long time. First name and initial, plus the fact that I was feeling a bit lost at the time I came up with it.

 

[retrobikeguy]

Had it as my eBay username since 2004 because I liked retro bikes and I'm a guy.... Then retrobike came along.

 

[legrandefromage]

Because 'annoyingchildishtwatofauser' is a bit long and hard to spell/ remember

 

[Fatal Swan]

The product of a teenage discussion about what would be the worst possible name for a band such that it would fail to be meaningful, clever or funny on any conceivable level.

 

[amoto65]

Mine is from one of many motorbikes I used to own namely an Aprilla Moto 650 designed by Philip Starck.

 

[Bob]

My name is Bob and I have no imagination, it's also quick and easy to type.

 

[benjabbi]

Many moons ago, upon return from a night out, I, in a highly intoxicated state, passed out on a mates sofa. They decided it would be funny to play a game of 'pissed bloke buckeroo'. The items being placed upon me became increasingly ridiculous and I apparently was woken more than a few times, getting more agitated with each. They obviously found this highly amusing, so carried on. Eventually I snapped, jumped off of the sofa, grabbed a pair of scissors off the table and said something along the lines of 'If you don't f****** leave me alone, I'm gonna cut your f****** foreskins off'. Tris went 'Ooooh, Benjabbi the Rabbi' and that was that! I woke up the next morning with no knowledge of any of this, but the name bloody stuck, at least for a few years, although shortened to just 'Jabbi' in the end. When I signed up to this place it was the first variation I typed that it would let me have and ended up as my username on quite a few sites for the same reason.

Mine goes back to the early 2000s when a left-leaning UK newspaper's website (OK it was the Guardian) had a very active series of chatrooms, including one for cyclists. I wanted to join the conversation and for no real reason chose 'moonlite' because I'd just fitted X-lite bar ends to my Orange P7. It was just any word that could be ended with 'lite'. I used it here in case any of those old posters had moved over here -- so far, none. Or none who cares to out themselves, anyway.

Everyone here graduating to the right in our old age?

How’s the band going? Let’s get some sound files up
