Following on from Eddie Mathews thread on user names, it started me wondering how and why people here have chosen their particular user id.
I think mine is fairly obvious - The Omega is a bit of a barge, and I'm allegedly in control of her, which makes me Captain - therefore, for those who haven't got it yet I'm the Captain of a barge ;)
Anyone else like to enlighten us as to the origin of there pseudonym?
Only if you are comfortable with doing so of course.

Phate is a character from a book "The Blue Nowhere" by Jeffrey Deaver. 321 is because 5 characters are not normally enough or Phate is already used.
The book is really cool 8-)

As started in Eddy's thread, my name's Jonny and in the search for a bit of uniqueness (is that a real word?) I called upon my favourite band 'Rush' and possibly their most famous album '2112'. Simple really, and more effective with the avatar.

As for me. Quite simple.
I was noted for my very laid back personaity (until I began my current job!), and was nicknamed laidback. The 66 relates to the year I was born.
Now I think I have a personality more akin to Jaime! :o
;)
-
Mine is easy....
My Name is Mark....and I used to own a DTM Calibra Turbo.....
I did originaly choose my 'handle' as 'Mark' but, it got changed back to 'Marks DTM Calib' for 'marketing' reasons!
-

-

I thought you were going to say...
Clears throat....."My Name is Markie and I drink too much..." whilst sat in a circle at your weekly 'meetings' ;)
-
Until recently, everywhere I've worked I've always been the youngest/new boy. So, always been called the boy. It stuck...

There is no Markjay... it was a mate's email address I used when I registered with V X O N just to ask a quick question (I don't normally give my own work email online), I couldn't think of a handle to make up so I just put in the first thing that came to my mind which was my mate's email address I was using...
I was in a hurry at the time and had no intention of spending any longer than needed on the site other then get the answer to my question (which was did Vx really change the facelift cambelt change interval from 80k to 40k, or was the Vx dealer just fishing for business?). That was a year and a half ago, the rest is history... when OOF was created, I kept the handle because other people that came over from V X O N already knew me by it.

Sorry AA, but I am not going to stoop down to this childish immature behaviour, so I have only one thing to say to you:
I've got a sunroof!

easy one mine comes from when i did the Lotus Carlton running gear into the Omega, at the time it was my toy for playing in!!!!
-
Mine is easy - It's my real name and it came from my mum and dad...... Somehow that just doesn't have the same impact as some of the others does it?? :'(

About 11 years ago at school I was in a band called Rad Mamba! There was a rival band who must have offended us in some way as we wanted to set the Rad Mamba mafia on them - shortened to mambafia. Does that all sound a bit odd? :-/
-
I haven't got the time or the inclination to explain!!!
-
oh and i learnt to drive in an old hillman avenger.....
My mum used to have one - good cars.
I used to have a Sunbeam prior to my big Vauxhalls

For some reason this never occured to me!
BTW Britain is a leading bogie designer, quite a few of our designs are world class. A US company was building locos for the UK but their passenger desing was too heavy for 4 axles, they wanted to buy some Brush 3 axle bogies but Brush were so annoyed they didn't get the contract they inflated the price to about £750,000 a pair. The Yank locos are too heavy to go flat out and damage the track ;D
The 3 axle ones were fitted to this!

And there was me thinking you bought it like that Graham!!!
Anyway, I'm Rod and as said elsewhere, I'm 6'4" so I'm fairly sizeable.

I was trying to think of an alias for myself on a game called Planetside. One morning, whilst taking my usual morning slash, I looked at my mop and bucket. It was a Vileda Supermop. So I called myself Supermop2000, which later got shortened to just Supermop. I was hungover, so may explain the slight eccentricity in which the name was born.
Its a very rare name, and no one has used it anywhere except me. Even in games like World of Warcraft, where they have like 7million subscribers. No one has Supermop or Supermop2000 as a name. Maybe because Vileda since named all their mops "Supermocio" - I just had an early eurpean model ;D
-
Mine is rather simple, after the engine code in my Omega. Sad and boring I know, but all I could think of at the time of registering.
-
Mine is my surname merged with my first name pretty simple to suss really, works for me and was the same on the other site, thought might aswell keep as is.
-
Mine originates from a radio callsign I happily answered to for several years - hotel two one - and not the fact that I have a chain of hotels throughout the world. But I can still dream!
