    I used to study wasp sounds.

    I found a 12" record of European wasps from a second record hand 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.

    NapoleonD... I have noted that you are generally pretty quick to jump on posters for their poor spelling/grammar... Only fair you should be pulled on this occasion, then...

    PS. You wouldn't believe how many times I've read through my comment! :wink:

    Please be lenient with me, when I post a photo of my new bike... I want the OCP badge! :lol:

    Editted for NapoleonD... See what I mean, now.
    Apologies for forgetting to highlight it, earlier.

    Eh?!? I think you'd better read your reply again!

    Another story, one for Speedo.

    I once got thrown out of my local swimming baths for wearing Speedo trunks.

    Turns out the 'S' had come off...

    Name is Sherry. Nickname through my footballing years was Shez and it got extended to Shezzer at my running club. Use the same name and avatar on all forums now.

    Yes he did. It was something to do with a drug addled road trip like Dennis Hopper (his favourite actor whom he stalks via social networking sites) in Easy Rider except his was across the West Midlands.

    That or he likes to be used as a space hopper.

    Or a bald head resulting in the nickname grasshopper that became shortened to hopper then as hopper had gone it had to be hopper1.

    This could be awkward to explain....
    But it started as a way to annoy a moderator on another site who would ban anyone with an offensive username so me and a mate decided to see who could get away with the most contriverisal one. If***edthepope was banned rather quickly but some how saintadolf wasn't. Coincidentally there actually is a saint adolf. truefax

    When I was younger I had a bit of an obsession with collecting cards from packets of gum. As you might have guessed my favourite was good old Bazooka Joe. This combined with my upbringing on Dartmoor provided me with a unique name to use on forums.

    As the signature says I've always had a nasty habit of parting ways with my bike which results in me flying through the air before crashing landing into/onto whatever looks solid and hard.

    No-One Lives Forever

    Used it years ago on CSS (when it first came out) and it stuck. Now I use it for everything online.

    I feel it, when I sorrow most;
    'Tis better to have loved and lost;
    Than never to have loved at all."
