Origins of your User Name?

[boffin486]

Hey folks - A daft question but maybe interesting - How or why have you chosen your user name?
I'll go first - Boffin486 - I'm a techie person, spent my whole life building/fixing/adapting/overcoming things Electrical, mechanical, House repairs, in fact most anything really.
I used to work fixing Car stereos/Home HiFis/PCs etc and my colleague & I were just referred to as 'The Boffins'.
Name stuck so use it as user name along with part of the registration number of my Much modified Capri that I had when I was a (ahem) younger man. Theres a couple of pics of that car in my gallery.
Fairly straightforward as you can see so, have at it folks!

Hi,
Obvious really!

In my Teens I was a big fan of Public Enemy. One of their "crew" was a chap called Terminator X. On the basis it was unusual I thought I'd have no trouble with anyone else using it as a username

I hang around camps near lakes and wear a hockey mask

 

[MikeSel^]

10 years ago when I joined ASN, I worked for a company called Select, and lived near Selby. Oh, and my first names Mike

I've moved on from both locations now, but the name has kinda stuck.

 

[Ozmosis]

Mine's a nickname I picked up in the RAF. My surname is Osborne, hence Oz. Another guy who had the surname Osmand arrives on the same Squadron, also nicknamed Oz... To differentiate, a couple of mates started calling me Ozmosis. It stuck ever since lol!

 

[A12RNX]

Mine is just my numberplate which my GF purchased for a birthday.

Well.

Basically, me and the lady friend were walking about Helmsley a few years back and I said I'd like a dog. A big dog. A big, handsome Weimaraner and it'd need a pretty solid name.

I said "Imagine being in the park on a Sunday morning and shouting 'Thundercliffe!?'...how good would that be?"

Oh. And I was born in 81.

Fin.

Why was the word 'Thrush' not scored out in your post? I thought the ASN algorithm would automatically make it T*****.

Honking!!

I thought that. But I also thought it couldn't be that simple

It also helps if fellow ASN people spot me, they will know who it is.

Some Japanese bloke logged into one of my accounts on a game service, he renamed my account to Kayobong so I decided to take his name and renamed all my accounts to Kayobong.
