    I'd been watching a lot of 'Mighty Boosh' and it's a Vince Noir reference as well as a nod of the hat to music genius Jim Noir.

    To this day though I have no idea why I put it all in capitals - that was a mistake. :oops:

    Mothyman - because my mum sewed 'timothy' onto my school shirt, for ID purposes, but the t & i disappeared under my armpit..thus 'mothy'.

    My God... How big was your name!!? :shock:

    I started off as grasshopper, because of shaved head (TV series Kung Fu).
    This is a long nickname, which was gradually shortened to hopper, had to add the '1' for signing up!!

    Why the capital "A" and how do you specify that you're using a cap letter when calling someone something?

    my name is Ollie but for some reason one of my friends years ago at the begining of secondary school just put a "da" on it. We used to play a lot of online games as I was a geek, and it just sorta stuck since then for online stuff

    @orderodonata I study flies (as in the buzzy insecty kind :roll: ) and since this is a bike forum thought I'd better add a cycling related word in there. Since I used it though, I found this - now I want one!

    I used to study wasp sounds.

    I found a 12" record of European wasps from a second hand record shop and I didn't recognise any of them at all.

    I checked with the shopkeeper and it turned out I was listening to the B side.

    That made me laugh, then I realised that some of the younger generation won't have a clue what a B Side is.

    Nostalgia is a wonderful thing, then you get Altzheimers.

    My mates son kept calling me Barnesy (my real name is Jamie Barnes), so I said to him 'You can call me 'sir' or 'BigJimmyB''.

    He went for the latter and it stuck.
