sorry, not in response to a request but here I is anyway.
My name is Kim and for as long as I can remember people have called me Kimbo. So I answer to Kimbo quite naturally and that's my name on everything that needs a username.

Id like to request replies from verdifish, Victorian Farmer and Clansman please.

Bionic, I kind of figured your name was somehow surgically related! But I thought it was something like an artificial heart valve!
Is it time to retire yet?

My name is Clare but my mum has always called me Belle. I'm not sure why, she just always has!

Mine's simple... my initials are pgk and I used to run a vet's website called e-vet. I still run the discussion list but it's quietened down from it's hayday since I retired, have none of my own clinical material etc. I used to tax deduct the running costs through the practice under the CPD heading (with accountant approval) but that's gone.
I've been messing about on t'internet from before it was.. the old dial-up bulletin board days. Heck, I even had a rotation as emergency vet help on compuserv for anyone old enough to remember that...

Buffy the eggs layer is the name of one of my hens. I got so fed up trying to find a user name for different sites especially as anything relating to my name had be taken so I chose one that I thought would be original. I'm Buffy in lots of online circles now and I happily answer to it. :eyelashes:

Oh, and my name's Sally and I moved 'oop north' and thought it witty to say "in't'north" - but of course I'm still only half way up the country!  lol.  Never mind, SalllyintNorthofEngland would've been too much of a mouthful.

I get called Sally, SITN and sometimes SIN.  I prefer SITN to SIN!

I have been a fan of Four Star Mary since their appearance in Buffy the Vampire Slayer. (FSM)
After striking up a friendly rapport after their first UK tour, I have been known to travel around the UK to as many gigs as possible. (Nutter)
So I've used the fsmnutter in multiple places since as its not usually taken!
Ps I am not a pastafarian, #fsm also refers to the flying spaghetti monster, no relation to the band!

Quite simple really, Verdi  is a shortening of my surname that became my nick name in the Army, actually I was little Verdi  as I served with my older brotherhood who is 6" shorter than myself so for a while it was big little verdifish but that got complicated the fish part is a reflexion of my hobby, sea angling!!!

Mine is because I used to have a Clydesdale horse and my friend used to call riding clopping.


Now I have no Clydie and I can't clop because my pelvis falls apart  :(
Our holding has Anglo Nubian and British Toggenburg goats, Gotland sheep, Franconian Geese, Blue Swedish ducks, a whole load of mongrel hens and two semi-feral children.

Most of my online pixel names begin with a Q because it is a more rarely used letter.

It amuses me ( far more than it should) that I will one day impart some stunning insightful knowledge to which someone will reply with - Thank you Q.  (hasn't happened yet  :'( )
If you cant beat 'em then at least bugger 'em about a bit.
