How did you come up with your user name?
I notice one of the more dazzling things in BE is the user name that people use on the forum. I'm sure all these user names have interesting stories behind them. I spent most of my life in a city called Dhaka, so I decided to call myself DhakaBoy. What went behind your user name?

I'm really from Uranus and I'm living amongst alien beings to judge your defensive capabilities, prior to the arrival of the hive ships.

Re: How did you come up with your user name?
Mine was an impulse.
I was searching the net for all things British that I might use in lessons, and I came across this one post on BE about English in Italy and paperwork. I was so incensed that the info was completely wrong - I signed up with the first name that came to mind just so I could set people straight.
I had no idea then that it could be seen globally.

Back in the 80's a chap called Bob Nuss from Sydney used to frequent our area quite a lot mainly due to the fact he was very freindly with one of the ladies in our office and usually attended our local trade association conference giving a performance about Australians at the turn of the century and called his act Bob Nuss and the Removalizers.
