I apologise at this point for those that are at the mercy of choosing their own name,like I did, rendering us of anything exciting to say but I'm sure we will get our moment of fame another time...SO......COME ON.......GO!!!!!!!

Spottydog was a goldfish I had for many years who started off small and spotty and ended up large, fat and not spotty at all, at which point I generally shortened her name to Dog. I tend to register everywhere with either spottydog, or if its gone spottydog0.

Introduction to the real me time!
My name is Belinda but nobody ever calls me that, I've always been known as Bindy. When we were doing our reckie we stayed with my brother-in-law in Sydney and saw loads of ibis (long beaked birds) which are known to some people as binbirds. I guess the brother in law thought it was an apt name for me since it combines the first part of my name with the fact that I am a 'bird' but then again he could just have meant that I am beaky!
Binbird / Bindy (Just not Belinda!)

Ebay sort of chose mine. Everything I tried, someone else had it. Put in some options and it came up with moneypen08 so tried moneypen20 - 20 being day of birth and it let me have it so it's stayed for most things on the net. Name's Penny and I have no money 
Real name is Penelope but can't deal with that

My school nickname. It sounds like my surname but may also have had something to do with the permanent bad hair day I had until I decided to go for a number 4 a few years ago.

Re: Your 'USERNAME',tell us why you chose it....!
I should have thought mine was pretty damn obvious...
Ladies beware :scared:
It's all to do with my insanely mammoth manhood...
However...that would be a teeny weeny white lie so I'll let you into a little secret
The emblem on the Isle of Man or Manx flag is a Three Legs which stands for the expression "Whichever way you throw me I will stand"...
Ergo...my handle.
Manx and proud no matter where.

This is a goody, what a laugh,
I'm an aussie & cat is an abbreviation of my name.
When i first came i on here (I'd never done anything like this before) I was too scared to use my real name, i thought someone would stalk me & murder me...... LOL
Now i'm really into it, I view loads more than i contribute, & i'm over the scared part. Now my husband just thinks i'll meet someone & run away with them..... PMSL
