  About six winters ago we where flyfishing Lake lyel of a night in sub zero temps trying to catch some 5kg plus fish that we knew where their. Anyhow we use to start about 4pm and fish till the flyline starting freezing up in the guides. Relating to a mate a few days later what we where doing he replied (you would have to be a MADFISHER) .

Mine comes from one of my all time idols, Dire Straits frontman Mark Knopfler in my opinion one of the greatest songwriters, guitarists and musicians of all time.

Yep definately one of the best!!!

Wait until you forget the birthday and anniversary. Even worse the kids birthday. It will come trust me I am going through it now. My son is having a birthday on the 20th July which took me 10 years to finally remember and then I said you 15 now and the boss said no he is 16 with a filthy look. Some how I missed a year. ???

HEM19X

I vote for cucinadio as the one furtherest in "left field"

Mine is actually my initials reversed MEH - in fact it is also the 1st 3 letters of my surname.

19X is our wedding anniversary 19th October.

So far never missed one, so maybe this forum is helpful afterall.

griz066

We used to camp in a tent and every time I got that tent out I could turn perfect weather into hail rail sleet snow wind within the hour. It seemed something would always go wrong and my darling wife reckons that I reminded her of the Grizwalds from the National Lampoon Movies so Griz it is and 66 is the year I was hatched.

pepiman

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.

Yimmy

Ok reading post from McGirr says as a new mwmber I must explain the name, here goes,

My name is Jim, not much you can do with a name like that so managed to get through school without a nickname :laugh:. Then the boss and I sat down and watched the movie "The Whole Nine Yards" with Bruce Willis, Bruce's characters name is Jimmy. His Mafia boss in the movie is Jannie pronounced Yannie, now the boss isn't that smart and seeing the spelling of his name and how it is pronounced he calls Bruce Yimmiy all the way through the movie.

Fair to say the wife loved it and now to all the friends I'm Yimmy (thats alright her name is Louisa so you can guess that has been shortened to Weeza) :cheers:

Sorry for the long story :-[
