My moniker is because my name is Duncan and i lived for 10 years in Northern Ireland but was actually born on the Isle of Wight. I spent most of my adult life in Northern Ireland and it is my home so i feel and emotional attachment to it so British/Irish(ish) Duncs seemed to sum it up well for me.

Oggie is another name for a Cornish pastie (the food of the gods), and the Cornish often chant "Oggie, Oggie, Oggie", to which the response is "Oi, Oi, Oi!"
It seems the Australians have taken the chant and replaced "oggie" with "Aussie" (which is acceptable considering that so many Cornish migrated to Australia.)

I work in the metalcasting industry (foundries) where we pour molten iron into molds and make castings for industrial use. When I wanted a Yahoo email, ironpourer was already taken.
If you drive aan American built car, chances are good that the safety grade (the ones that when they fail people die) castings in the chassis or brakes are ours.

Used to be WB2IBE "I'm born English" (My dad came up with that).
"Edwords" is a play on my name and the fact that I'm a writer. The "underground" part comes from the fact that I like to keep a low profile.

BTW, I just read your web page. I have to agree, that woman at the doctor's in London is an absolute star. I've never seen anyone take blood so painlessly and so effortlessly as she did,
