So, tell us about your user name..............

She looks a whole lot better in the larger photos. The avatar was too small and reminded me of the cheesy pin up pictures of the '50s - all pointy 'up-lift' bras and stocking tops ....slobber, slobber,...

Exactly. So what's not to like?!

We are happy, ta Neil. Kinda distracted you from the username though. Proud of that one, had it as an email address for years.

Slightly confused

You had Daphne Droopy Drawers as an E-mail address ? That must have raised a few eyebrows over the years.

Electric Beach. I seem to recall we were discussing username origins... But I would have had DDD if I'd thought of it! My daughter uses Daphne Scrumpton.

"Beobloke" - I'm a bloke and I like B&O. Simple really........

[Alex_UK]

I'm sure I don't have to explain, do I?

I'm a bloke called Alex. Oh, and I live in the UK! Bet that surprised you!

As the Meerkat says, Simples!

Well mine... nah, surely not!

Whether 'Sand Dancing Donkey Walker' is a Bowdlerisation of his true username or not, reminds me of the former occupation of a fellow work collegue.

His previous work was in the poultry business, specifically he was involved in the artificial insemination of turkeys. In fact his job was to extract the source material - a sort of semen extraction facilitator. No easy task as you can imagine; turkeys are big birds and don't take kindly to enforced onanism!

This was in the days of the old black UK passport, which required a description of ones profession. I always meant to ask him if under 'Profession', he had entered 'Turkey Wanker'!

I have wondered at the exact meaning of the word "wanker", but no longer.

Hi Mazeppa

I would have questioned your misunderstanding, however I have noticed your location, so realise that 'wanker' is a unique British euphemism and as a term not necessarily known to you. Not only is it a euphemism, it is also a term of disrespect for someone who is perceived as being a bit of a 'loser'.

Clearly this has nothing to do with matters audio, but we hope that AoS as a forum educates, informs and entertains.

Back in the 70s I worked for a civil engineering company on the admin side of things. One day the (Scottish) Site Agent came in looking most perturbed. One of the foremen had occasion to tell him that a particular job was simply not feasible and he was not prepared to spend anymore time attempting to complete the task which in his opinion was just a complete waste of time and effort. So what, well this being in Liverpool the foreman didn't quite put it in those terms, what he actually said was "...you can fook that, I've seen me arse with it..." only being Scottish he was unfamiliar with the local phraseology and was visibly upset at the very thought

My user name... Goes back a while... Actually, I prolly got it when I first tried to set up an e-mail account. You know how that works, you keep dialing in user names and the thing only spits back at you the name's taken, wouldn't you like instead the same but with a _345897634 added to it?

So there... I got two first names, one of which is Alex, but that of course was taken by a few million peeps, so I extended it to Alexus (from Ms Winston see below) but that was not enough either.



So I just popped in an extra X and that seemd to do the trick. Somehow, most probably because I'm a lazy individual, I just stuck with it on my subsequent fora application, so there it is once more.
