My username stems from University in Edinburgh where we used to hack a ball around the pitch and put on the the Bruntsfield Links (oldest short hole golf course in the world no less!)
It was outside my flat and the course is criss-crossed with pathways most of which I used to hit on a regular basis hence the nickname Pathway (and my surname begins with a P so this fit nicely).
Have used the name on forum for a long time and it just stuck.
Olly
Pretty simple here. First and middle initials followed by last name.
Looked in the mirror and said; Struth!!!:stalks:
Really boring, but it is my name :D
I'm getting old - and I hoard!
Also a pun on the Golden Horde - always had a thing about Mongolia and steppe art!
Nick
... simply the first contraction of my full name that was accepted by the first ISP I registered with way back in the dark ages and I have used it every since - despite much piss taking by mindless trolls on other forums :lol:
'The Barbarian' !
Track one from the band Emerson, Lake & Palmer Eponymous Debut LP
Aren't you going to change it Andre? I mean, now that prog is shite and trance is the new sliced bread :)Quote:

Raja is a Malay word which comes from the Sanskrit Raja and having the same meaning of King or Monarch. Catur is also a Malay word which originates from the Sanskrit Catur or Caturanga which is the ancient form of the princely game of chess. My moniker Rajacatur harks back to my younger days when I used to play chess seriously and travelled all over Malaysia, UK and the world playing for the national, company and university team. (Black is OK!).
my nick runs around since 99 , digits come from that year ... and I love their music , really good scotch men,
unfortunately they stopped playin , still one of my favs : Del'Amitri
Because I am. :lol::lol::lol:
It's a nickname I collected a long time back that kinda stuck.
Celt, because my family lineage goes back to the Sligo/Mayo area of Ireland and Scotland.
I like walking up on the moors in the Peak District, Ronskley Moor is in Derbyshire on the East side of the Upper Derwent valley.

Hi,
I used to work as a recording engineer in a studio some 20 years ago. I was the only person with experience of valve studio equipment. One day a compressor wasn't behaving itself and I quickly resolved the issue. The group using the studio that day quipped Captain Valve to the rescue and the name stuck.
Aleks
It's a joke name I once booked into a hotel using this name! Anyway my system is Funk sapphire 12inchfxr Vdh crimson se, trilogy 907 phono stage,various CD players, music first preamp sugden masterclass power amp,or pass labs class a integrated, graham ls5/9 spendor s8e, and magnepan 1.7, townshend and Vdh cables, I live near port. Talbot but hail from swansea, Music anything good especially Zappa.
When I was growing up my buddies called me Parkie, which was short for Parkhurst, my last name. When I signed up for Gmail, they wouldn't let me have Parkie, so as I was 37 at the time, Google suggested Parkie37.
Holy C***! that was boring :lol:
Now I wish I had a clever user name :doh:
Guitarrero is Spanish for 'Guitar Maker', and that describes what I do ... I make Spanish guitars; carefully :)
Mines too simple really. When I first needed an online moniker, signing up to ebay, I think, I chose my first name, my other initials and the year I was born in. I've used it pretty much every forum I've joined since. Obviously a lack of imagination.
Cheers
James
Guitarrero. Cool name. Your guitars look pretty good on your website too. My eldest son has just done his grade three guitar. His guitar doesn't look as good as yours do though.
dancing bear as in Simon Smith and his Amazing... Pretty obvious really!
and here was me thinking you were a happy Gers supporter:eyebrows:Quote:

Later I got a clockradio, and after that I bought my first set. My first serious listening started in my 20's with my first serious set. It was around my 30's that I started to become addicted to music, listening every spare hour. ;) Today I have to moderate to keep the neighbours friendly. :guitar: :peace: :D
Hi,
my username derives from a character appearing in the 1969 published parody named 'Bored Of The Rings'.
The german translation was done by Margaret Carroux, who translated a few years earlier the 'Lord Of The Rings' by J.R.R. Tolkien.
In the parody Bromosel represents the original Boromir.
Cheers,
Dirk
Bromosel sounds like some form of medication used to prevent premature ejaculation!
No use to me then :eyebrows:Quote:

In my 50's I rebuilt a Renault 5 GT Turbo , it was running around 250 BHP & got stopped by the law one night. Their comment "we thought you were a boyracer" my reply "no oldboyracer". At the ripe old age of 63 I replaced the 5 with a Subaru Imprezza WRX STI - a Jap import running around 310 HP. On relating my clash with the law one night over a beer with the lads they admitted that they didn't expect an old fart like me to be driving a fire breather & agreed I was definitely an oldboyracer - it's stuck ever since.
There's a motoring related thread in 'Abstract Chat', should you want to give us any stories:

Mine is fairly easy to explain - I was called that at one of the places I worked because of what my colleagues perceived as an obsession with reggae. Like "nerd", I adopted it as a badge of honor (I'm a software engineer). Still pretty fond of 70's reggae.

My name is Andrew and I've been using or enamoured with fullrange drivers for quite a few years now. Never delved into the the Lowther/Feastrex end of the spectrum, but played with some very nice Richard Allan and Fostex units in the past. Now I run Coral Flat 5's which although limited in the bottom end are pretty astounding in what the do well.

Mine is born out of laziness and lack of imagination.
I'm also a member of a motorcycling forum where my user name is also HackneyRF. Hackney is where I lived for nigh on 20 years but have been forced out to Walthamstow as a financial refugee. No shame in that I say and to be honest it was a good move with Epping Forest, Lea Valley and Walthamstow Marshes on my doorstep. Hell, I can even cycle along the canal and be in Broxbourne for a lunchtime pint in no time!
Oh and I ride a Suzuki RF600.

I'm on a few forums, the first I joined was a fly-fishing one, which is where I originated the handle 'trautigan'
It's the combination of 2 words, one being trout (obv), the other being the name of an author, Richard Brautigan, who wrote a great book on fishing (Trout fishing in America) in the 1960's which, as the blurb says, isn't about trout fishing, nor actually about America! I'm hoping that may intrigue someone to check it out - ....so I've stuck with that handle on most of the other forums except when I don't (see below)
If anyone uses Spotify, you can find me on there with that handle, where you can also see my taste in music.
I do have other handles that I use on Twitter and some other forums - guess I don't have to explain those....
Don't see many of those about these days (or the 900).Quote:

Had a few Suzukis. A GT550A two stroke triple bought new way back in '79. A GSX750ES2, GSX600F and lastly a GS500FK5 (which I actually liked better than the others). Also had a little GN125, which was desperately slow, but fun.Quote:

Haha, those things were nuts without any tuning! Oh well it looks as though you had fun with them.Quote:

one error or pot hole and your creamed;)
Umm.....looks fun but not on the open road for me. I have been on the receiving end of a careless car drivers front end twice in my life with many broken bones, and that was at 40ish mph. Goodness knows what I'd end up like at 160mph. Still think you should go and get one Geoff!
Why do I have my particular username ?? Pink Floyd - Dark Side Of The Moon album...................... the answer is on there !!!! :comatose:
NNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOO I do not smoke pot, take drugs, get wasted or anything else like that but, I do think that track is a harmless substitute of how to mellow out without killing yourself :confused:
