Title: Re: tell us about your user name
Post by: LuciferDarklord on September 22, 2009, 13:59:53: Mines an old name I used to use in LAN games. I used to listen to a lot of death metal so the name seemed to fit the genre. I still find the name "Robin Graves" hilarious, its the stage name of a guitarist from a death metal band called "Cradle of Filth".

Good win for Posh over NUFC tonight :mad:, I've been to London Road 3 times and hope to get to the league game down there this season.
L30N is my name Leon with '30' in the middle and is also part of my licence plate. People always ask why I don't drive a Seat Leon, nice car but that would be too obvious and anyway the i30 is better VFM.

Post by: jason117 on September 26, 2009, 11:16:05: Jason117 = Jason (umm..thats me) and the 117 is my father's race car number. He's used the same number since the early 60's ( he's still racing at age 74) so it's kinda sentimental to me.

Post by: GURKHA17 on October 01, 2009, 15:21:57: My rego is GURKHA because I'm from Nepal and the Nepalese soldiers in places like the UK, Singapore and India have are known as the Gurkhas. The 17, because when I joined my school soccer team I was given that number and my B'day is on the 17th Nov, so ever since I've the number 17 when I need to use a number, like email id.

Post by: tk421 on October 01, 2009, 16:14:01: “TK421, why aren’t you at your post” – the only line in Star Wars that refers to a storm troopers callsign. Original? No. I had seen someone else using it and thought it was rather clever and only something a few diehard star wars fans would recognise. BTW, I’m not a huge fan, but i like the movies. Of course poor old tk421 got mugged and had his uniform stolen onboard the millennium falcon before he could even deliver a single line. At the end of the day, it’s just one of many usernames i use.

Title: Re: tell us about your user name
Post by: Cowleasow_UK on October 02, 2009, 09:42:11: Nothing to do with cars (perhaps carts though?).

I've been doing family history research for a few years now. One of my relations in the late 18th/early 19th century rented a property which was referred to as "Cow Leasow" (aka "Cow Leaze"). Cow Leasow actually referes to the meadow in which the property stood - basically a field for cows! (Obviously the field was more important that the tiny cottage and the paupers who inhabited it!).

So, I use that name here and there on the internet. For this forum I stuck UK on the end just so people can see at a glance that I'm UK-based (and therefore talking pounds, miles, and right-hand drive!). (This was before I knew you could put your location onto your post :-[ ).
