Where does your forum username come from?

[Dan]

Just wondering, where does your forum username come from?

I'm sure many, like mine, are just their name. Or perhaps business name. But what about the others?

[cr0ft]

Mine is hugely creative. Basically when I registered croft was already taken. My surname is Ashcroft and so it's a clever abbreviation of my surname that happened to be available at the time.

I wish there was a more exciting story behind it but unfortunately not.

 

[turnpin]

Picked the name from my earlier days in plumbing and the tools and materials used back then.....regards Turnpin🙂

Croft might be available now if you want to change it?

 

[Lou]

My name. Very original lol.

 

[Best]

I recall I only took a couple of seconds to decide on my username. I just thought something that would denote quality, (as with quality work).
With hindsight it makes me appear arrogant, but too late now and it is only 4 letters to type. 🙂

I can change your username if you ever fancy it mate. 🙂
Not sure 'Good' has quite the same ring to it, but same amount of letters for sure. 😛

 

[Last Plumber]

Because I can wipe a joint, leadburn and boss lead, an old plumber ( past retirement age), in the local merchant always says " here he is, The last plumber" every time I see him.

The fact that It's once in a blue moon I work with lead anymore is irrelevant, I think I'm just the youngest person he knows who can still do it.

Where's your yellow ( car coloured) button?
Are you being punished ?

 

[Last Plumber]

I will let you guess on mine

[Darren Jackson]

I will let you guess on mine

Well I guess your a avid blue n white army man from Cleckhuddisfax ?

 

[Stanios]

Its from my name Stan, however I do get called Dan and Sam a lot. Sometimes customers start calling me Sam even after a few jobs of me as Stan. One pensioner kept repeating "Dan?" after asking for my name and getting the answer repeatedly, eventually he gave up and just said "I've got a cousin called Dan"

 

[jonnyswamp]

Mine is the nickname of a very good friend of mine who died 11 yrs ago, too young at 40
An evil looking bugger, but a gentle giant

 

[Alpha man]

Because I love Alpha's, was an agent for Alpha for 13 years, so I love the older ones, don't touch or fit the new ones these days.

 

[Phil]

Just boring old Phil here, other places Master of all, threadjacker Humptynumpty..

 

[Stigster]

My nickname for the majority of people who know me is "Stig" after Stig of the Dump. I was having a party way back when I was 15 years old and a friend of a friend saw my hideously messy bedroom, my long hair and ripped 90's Grunge clothing (ripped jeans on top of another pair, a grey Vneck sweater, a holey cardigan and Chuck Taylor boots - I had almost convinced myself I was actually Kurt Cobain) and exclaimed "It's Stig of the Dump!" Most of us knew the book from school and the name stuck 'till this day.

 

[Jo the boat]

Lived on a boat for 12 years

 

[oz-plumber]

Mines self explanatory.

Because I'm In OZ.

Then again, most people call be 'Happy' - due to Australians calling each other nicknames that are the opposite to what they are.

If I called myself 'Happy Plumber' - it would give people the wrong impression.

They might think that I am pleasant and approachable!!!!
