    When you are a member of the best profession in the whole wide world, you simply have to use that as your user name! :D And since there are so few people who are good enough to be Physicsmen, you won't run into the problem of:

    "Physicsman 3445 said... No he didn't, it was Physicsman 3545..." etc. :lol:

    It is not possible for users to change their user names.

    use the remember me function and you dont need to type it every time.

    Mine came from a birthday card many years ago (a Garfield one IIRC). It had the name of the manufacturing company on the back of the envelope "Attica" and for some reason my friend ended up addressing it to Attica and making my name look like the manufacturer - I never really worked out why but it kinda stuck around.

    Then again if I'd have used the name Armstrong which is my surname (unlike Lance who adopted his Godfathers) you'd have all thought I was a right ponce.

    What troubles me is having to use real names in the pub. I only know most of you by your username....

    Linds I sitll call you Linsen from time to time, not sure you've noticed.

    Also, LiTs, I hate you. :lol:

    "Hi"
    "Hi"
    "I'm Olivia what's your name"
    "Tron"
    "Tron?"
    "Yeah, Tron"
    "How do you spell that?"
    "T-R-O-N"
    "So... like, Tron."
    "Yep."

    Now imagine that in a job interview! Poor Tron. He'll be in therapy before he finishes school!

    I think Neo, Trinity and Morpheus would be cooler.

    But I'll let some other suspecting parent try those out.

    But seriously, at our kids nursery school were two girls from a showbiz family of some description. Candy Darling, and her sister, Bunny Love. :shock:

    Calling your daughter Bunny Love is just wrong... its what I'd say to my girlfriend if I was feeling silly with giggles on top.

    Candy Darling sounds like something an old man would say to some unsuspecting child... followed sweetly by "its in my pocket...." :shock:

    A female friend of mine at school was called Tula, after the model Caroline Cossey. Yes, that's right, the transsexual model, Caroline Cossey.

    Her father was so taken by this model that when his baby daughter was born he called her Tula, and was completely unaware until a few years later that Tula was born a man.

    I knew someone called "Kimberly Claire".

    So easy to slip up and call her "Kimberly Clark".

    Whoops.
