well, my name is tim. for some reason my friends started calling me bad timmy. it stuck.

Mine is pretty predictable and dull - initials of the missus and babies, followed by the last four didgits of my (old) phone number. Easy to remember innit.

I like BringMeMyFix as a user name; I imagine it shouted in a Brian Blessed style voice, instructing an underling to scurry off and fetch a gleaming bike ready to crush some upstart or other...

...then again, I have had far too much coffee this morning...

David K, i underestimated the size of the intake plenum when i swapped the engine into the car, doh! didn't want to cut a hole in bonnet.

BRM666, thanks dude. was nice but had to sell coz it was a serious headache. too low, too loud, too many breakdowns. they were narrow 6" rims with only 165 tyres, fuggin scary with 180 rwkw under the right foot.

the song I was learning the week I joined.

(listen to the coltrane version, not the wanky version on moulin rouge)

Alexander Stephen Myers. Its my name!

unxetas.. back in the 90's when everyone used IRC, my nickname on there was cheated (I was a teenager, what can I do). Then got a new girlfriend and changed it to uncheated! haha.. My friends couldn't really pronounce it so 'unxetas' is the closest portuguese sounding word they came up with. Now I have the opposite problem, noone knows how to pronounce my nickname and neither can I (in english that is..)

it's something like un-shit-ash

mines where I'm from. A bit of a play on words North East.

I live in Geordieland, not much in the way of s/s or fixed up here !

I think I may be in the minority.
