So, we have a seriously large ammount of whacky usernames on this BBS to compliment the normal ones.

To name a few Dr Evil (because he is actually proper evil)
RonaldoH:Love of football
Harj:Thats actually his name!

So come on, out the woodwork! Lets ave em'....

Why the funny names and lets explain where they come from...some may be quiet funny!

My nickname comes from the late 70's, early 80's Saturday morning kids show called TISWAS, in UK just in case you don't know.

Can't be sure why I chose it, though I've been using it for the past few years, even before I got access to the internet, and used it to record my Minesweeper times on the PC . I've also used it as my chat alias back when I used to go to chat rooms, and also on other Bulletin boards.

Are you sitting comfortably, then I'll begin...

I did a degree in Criminology and a friend of mine convinced herself that it was something to do with dead bodies (confused with Pathology I think)... so she used to call me Ed The Dead Guy.
Some people seem to think its because I totaled my Mini in a spectacular way involving a tree and fence etc and probably should be dead.. but thats wrong... and I'm not!

To cut a long story short......

My first ever winter climb,a Grade II gully in Scotland with 3 others. Halfway up, an avalanch hits us. We fell 400 feet down the gully - and amazingly survived with only bruises and sprains.

As we were picking ourselves up, one guy says "I think we earned a few Airmiles pointsthere"

This was not my first, or last, near-death climbing fall....suffice to say, the name stuck!

(However it WAS my last winter climb....)

A few years ago, I needed an alias for a clan I was joining - my study at the time was full of Fosters cans, which I never seemed to throw away.

Whilst thinking of an alias I was looking round the room and it was pretty obvious really. when we moved we cleared away 6+ bin bags of fosters cans!

.. cross me and you'll find out why!

Seriously though.. Very well, where do I begin? My father was a relentlessly self-improving boulangerie owner from Belgium with low-grade narcolepsy and a penchant for buggery*. My mother was a fifteen-year old French prostitute named Chloe with webbed feet. My father would womanize, he would drink, he would make outrageous claims like he invented the question mark. Sometimes he would accuse chestnuts of being lazy... the sort of general malaise that only the genius possess in the insane lament. My childhood was typical... summers in Rangoon, luge lessons. In the spring we'd make meat helmets. When I was insolent, I was placed in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds... pretty standard, really. At the age of twelve, I received my first scribe. At the age of fourteen, a Zoastrian named Vilma ritualistically shaved my *********. There really is nothing like a shorn *******... it's breathtaking, I suggest you try it.

.. and I have a tendancy to get p1ssed on tequila and then bic razor my head!

Got my nickname on my year out (years full time employment) at University 5 years ago, first day, walks through the office door, obviously looking quite a bit younger than I do now, round'ish glasses and blond hair...... "F%$K me it's the Milky Bar Kid". 3/4 of the company only knew me as Milky from then on, it stuck/reared its head at each company I've been at.

Sent on a trip to Chicago to fix some network problems... The yanks weren't too happy a Brit was coming over to teach 'em how

When I walked into the office the usual 22 stone, longbeard in an old Meatloaf tour t-shirt shouts "hey its the limey lan cat!"

I was lancat for the rest of the week, even though I fixed the problem in a couple of hours

Being a fan of the Sunday BBC1 light hearted drama series set in Ireland, I adapted the village name to suit a BBS relating to Japanese products.

Well it isnt. My real name is Robert Skinner, during the times of Normski on BBC2, someone noticed that the first 3 chars of first and second name was rob & ski

hence robski was born

....well a long long time ago....whe I was at school...I was sitting drinking a Rum with a M8 or 2...and as kids (sorry young adults do) we were working out anagrams of teachers and fellow students/kids names...

...cutting a longish story short...we found out that an anagram of "Tom Butler" (my name obviously ) is "Rum Bottle"...and from that day forth all my M8's called me "Rum"...

...Rum is my alias for everything.. and considering both of the above i.e. love of the drink etc it turns out to be quite apt

Thats my wee story.

Cheers

Tom
