Well.....

I have been called "Spike" for 60 years because of my hairdo... so it has stuck like mud!
And the "45" is for the year I was born!

Mine is for our surnames, mine is McConachie and SWMBO is badger. A friend of ours joines these 2 together and came up with Mcbadger. It works in my mind.

Well, my first name is Dave, and I go under the name of Dave B on another forum.
But it was already taken on this forum so I used the model of my LC for the 61.
cheers

Note to self - Do not choose Forum name late at night after reading bizarre sci-fi novel about a collection of planets connected by a thin atmosphere where humans travel between the planets in motorised balloons, and watch the majestic SkyWhales fly across the sky....Because after consuming far too many Inner Circles and making the obvious connection between completing my camper trailer and Pigs flying, the picture in my head of SkyPigs made some sort of sense at the time......bugger it, where did that bottle go. There must be one last drop in there.... ??? ??? ;D

Crazy Dog,

Did you you use to ride a pushbike with a trailer around the Top End a few year ago with a road train sign on the back of the rig? He used to wear a dress!
Cheers,

Tom.

Mine started about 9 - 10 years ago when I got involved in an internet cafe. It was called Idle Gossip Internet Services. We were one of the original true internet cafes of Melbourne before internet was so readily available and convenience stores put in a couple of computers and now call themselves "internet cafes". We serve real coffee and people can sit and enjoy a conversation whether it is online or face to face. We still get people saying to us "Oh, you are a real internet cafe with real coffee". Although we are a dying breed.

Thus idlegossip has stuck ever since.

Because I lack imagination and the first forum I joined was a rescue related one I figured something related to my business [The One Stop Rescue Shop] would be good there so rescue1 came about. I've been using it almost everywhere since...

Well my reason is just plain boring compared to some.

Had Kat's all my life.  Big, fat ones, skinny little ones, one's that demanded affection, ones that rejected affection.  Everyone knows that Kat's have 9 lives.  When I got chatted up in pubs in my youth, I'd say my name was Kat, which is kinda true, because my last name is Lyons, one of the biggest Kat's in the world.  Who says you have to go to Africa to see one?  LOL!  So I'm Kit_e_kat9.   ;D

My house has been called "The Zoo" by many, but that seemed just a bit weird...

Kit_e
Kat are you related to anyone in brackenridge by any chance? the last name rings a bell that's all

A little area N/W of Swanhill  on the Murry river , Speewa . 158 is date of birth ,month ,day & year .
After going to the easter Quambertook tractor pulls , ( huge boy thing) we camped at Speewa that night & read from the book Crocked Mick of The Speewa . The story is a collection of wild bush yarns so over the top you have to read them twice  to fully understand them . there is enough serious stuff going on in the world to be that way all the time .  I come here as we all do to spend time with an extended family of like minded people .   :cheers: ;D ;D

I've been shaving my head since 1993, which was when I noticed I was trying to brush my hair over my balding bits, 23 years old is way too young for a comb over :'( :'(

From behind my head looks like "toeball" or as I should have said "towball" i nevu bean gud spelor. ;D

Well I am a nurse hence my forum name and davo69 is husband David but always called davo or hilly and was born in 1969 (old fart!).

I'm glad the nurse cleared Davids reasoning for the 69 up, I must be the only one around here who had the wrong idea >:D ;D

Mine was hashed up by John Rooth (Roothy) around 9 years ago when I was doing a mag shoot on location at a 4wd park. We are both John's so to save the confusion he and the crew started calling me Johnny Trackabout and he wrote the story calling me Johnny Trackabout and since than it has stuck like $h!t to a blanket  ???

Mine is just from my humble vehicle.

TOYOTA80SeriesTurbo.

I had the plates TOY80S on it when the slimline black and white ones came out but a fellow offered me $500 for them so I didn't argue with that. They are only number plates.

Soon to change my user name to TOY76SV8 though  ;D
