Topic for the weekend?
26. Aug 2006 at 14:13

I know my user name isn't very original - just my name Embarrassed

However, it would really be interesting to know how you other members chose you forum user names and what signicance they have (if any!) especially the more unusual one's.

Although I already know quite a few, it would also be nice to know everyone's first names (real one's) - what do we think? Roll Eyes

Hope I'm not being too nosey - just interested.

mine was a nick name given to me at a job i had.

About 4 or 5 years ago I worked in Currys as a Xmas job, just for a few weeks. Awful Awful company, anywho there were several Mark's there so it became confusing... and we did't like using our surnames on the shop floor.

One wise guy nick named me tunnie and it stuck, the way he said it was always amusing, made the T sound very loud! Grin

My surname is Tunnicliffe...... so thats were it cam from & the story of my user name Cheesy

Do you break V6's as often as TheBoy? Then you need tunnie's towing services, recovery costs are just the humiliation of being towed by 2/3's of an engine

Aug 2006 at 19:06 Well mine is because I am now an olive farmer in Spain. Quite a lot different from my office life in Britain. The V6 makes a great tow car for a trailer load of olives. Everyone else uses tractors or 4x4's. I live 90 minutes drive from my nearest Opel dealer with a parts dept. Bryan
