Once again, when looking for Frosty, but somebody else had the name, so went the next best thing, Frostd, which in turn is the initial of the finance minister.

Whilst in Artillery, if there was a drought on and there was a chance there was just a bit of mud somewhere,more than likely, I would be bogged up to my axles, at least, once a month over 6 yrs, oh dear.

It was a standing joke,whenever the radio-chatter was about some vehicle being bogged, everybody thought of me, dunno why?

When I was in civvy street, driving for country council, I called over radio I was bogged, well not exactly, I drove over this hump and all axles were off ground, like a giant see-saw, only a 10- tonne truck,up and down, swaying in the breeze, not going anywhere, it took our grader to pull me off the bump, bugger,bogged again.

So jetcrew is me and the family

Pretty plain and simple ...

Crimso · « **Reply #160 on:** July 11, 2010, 05:09:55 PM »

From the 70's, 80's, 90's & 00's rock band called King Crimson.
During the 70's some British rock journalist called them "Crimso" and they were
called that by fans for a few years. Not a very famous band though still producing
good music, well I think it is.

hope you have a half hour to spare. My name is Peter. My father's name is Josef. He came from Czechoslovakia. In Czechoslovakia a nickname for Josef is Pepi. When I was a boy they used to call my father big Pepi and I was called little Pepi. And I have had Pepi as a nickname all my life. So hence my Swag name . Pep for me and Man for my wife Mandy. All confused.

When I think of Lil Pepe i think of this!!

1982 Ford Bronco XLT
Where It’s From: Romancing The Stone [1984] film

Claim to Fame: Lil Pepe “The Mule”, the drug-running 4 x4 with a V8 engine and the apparent ability to score bigger air then the General Lee.

Thanks

PS I know I am starting to show my age with this!!!

Got it from a much younger, much taller mate.

savanahkelpy · « **Reply #163 on:** July 11, 2010, 08:11:09 PM »

I wanted a forum name that was relatively australian, related to the bush or outback, individual and a bit different,( as we all do).
Since i live in the wet tropics rainforest country, i like going west to the open forest and savanah country of the gulf for an ocassional change of weather and surroundings, and so savanah became the first part, and since i also like aussie kelpie dogs, it became the second, with a slight spelling change. Hence,,savanahkelpy.

Taz · « **Reply #165 on:** July 11, 2010, 08:24:20 PM »

Born in Tasmania and then joined the Army .... ergo 15 years of Taz or variants of it.

In regards to CRAFT ... I am lucky I was born in a year ending with a zero. It makes it easier to calculate your age but only if you can remember which year it is now ..... and for some strange reason every time I try and remember what year it is I look at my watch

I have never had a watch that displays the year.

Cheers,

(24 hours in a day, 24 cans in a slab ... coincidence ? .... I think not !)

PS: Hey Teabag, looks like you got moved north a couple of k's ....

hookedon4wding · « **Reply #169 on:** July 13, 2010, 07:52:35 PM »

I've used mine from the first forum I ever signed up to (Overlander). It was after my first offroad outing in my first 4wd - a mighty Mazda Tribute

The bug bit straight away hence the forum name.

Cheers, Sam.

Working in the business, not in the actual pipelines! Not too many big ones in Australia, though I've been involved with some pretty large ones in the Middle East.

SpoonyAU · « **Reply #171 on:** July 14, 2010, 09:46:32 AM »

My surname roughly translated from German to English means to ladel or scoop ... I made the mistake of mentioning this to a mate and hence I have been called Spoony ever since.

I managed for a few years to not be called this at work but at my wedding, the above mentioned mate was my best man and in his speech only referred to me as Spoony, so now all my work mates call me that as well ... I got back to work and everything (locker, coffee mug, pigeon hole etc) had "Spoony" labels all over them!

Now just waiting for the billy lids to start calling me Spoony and the transformation will be complete

spargo · « **Reply #172 on:** July 14, 2010, 12:44:49 PM »

It's my surname. I like it, so I use it everywhere.

I've met plenty of people who don't even remember my first name when I meet them again, but the surname sticks..

I had a few different forum names over time

"1hzzzz" when I had a 105 series landcruiser GXL- but as they were vehicle based had to change as the vehicle did
The original "survey dude" when I didn't have a clue what forums were or what the hell a forum name meant

I'll settle for the one I have now.

Got these plates for my 30th B'day and I think I'll keep them until I kick it.
