Mine is quite simple, I've used the same one for about 7 years in various places. Sonic is due to the game that I was hooked for many months....in fact I started one friday night after work with the curtains drawn, and when I stood up to draw them open it was Sunday morning..oops.. and the Tigger part is obvious...tigger is simply the best. It's been my nickname for many many years, as my personality is very tiggerish - carefree, fun, happy etc etc..I've also got a large tattoo of him on my shoulder.

Well that's my story, off to read the rest.

Couldn’t use my real name cos I've been blessed with a moniker that’s really unusual and, if I'm honest, I’m a bit scared of this type of site.

Decided on a play on words on my name instead. It’s no Enigma Code but I thought it was quite clever. That is until I told my husband and he pointed out that this was exactly the kind of ‘secret squirrel too clever for your own good’ crap my dad would have come up with ……….by then it was too late to change it.

Much piss taking by my husband and he has now started calling me by my dad’s name. Can’t decide if that’s better or worse than turning into my mum.

We started off with a very normal username (Mairi&Chris) which just happened to be our own names, but over time I decided I wanted to change it, so pm'd one of the mods and hey presto I am now "vegemite kids".

As to why I choose that name it was one of my fav songs growing up as a child in OZ (and sung by the "vegemite kids").

We're happy little Vegemites
As bright as bright can be.
We all enjoy our Vegemite
For breakfast, lunch, and tea.
Our mother says we're growing
stronger every single week.
Because we love our Vegemite.
We all adore our Vegemite.
It puts a rose in every cheek!


Well I was a child at the time

Plus I still luuuuurrrrrve Vegemite. (when living in germany I used to drive 900km round trip just to stock up on my vegemite - how sad am I !)

If you lived in Melbourne you would so want to get rid of your origional name. Chris and Maries plant farms have possibly the worse TV ads ever and there web addy is

www.Hellohello.com.au cos they both have to say hello in the ads, its quite nauseating

PHEW ! even though I'm at the other end of the country (and havent seen the ad) I'm glad I changed my username. That site is scary :scared:


PS. we dont look anything like them. I'm much prettier (Chris too) Although scarily enough my ambition is to give up work and study horticulture, eventually having my own garden nursery. If I ever get anywhere as bad as this you have my permisssion to slap me
