    I heard someone else being referred to as Dulldave in the proper world and thought it sounded suitably self-deprecating.

    It's funny that people try to use it against me when arguing a point.

    "I can see why they call you dulldave" - because I chose it

    My name is taken from a mixture of 2 of my favorite genres.

    Cyberpunk and my favourite hero batman aka the dark knight

    A bit of mix and matching gave my CyberKnight which also happens to be the name of the 1st character in ..........

    Mombee... is a b*stardised slang word for cow from Australia (although apparently it might originate from Zimbabwe), which we adopted for a fluffy cow that my son had when he was a baby (eight years ago) and has stuck with us since then.

    Cheers, Mombee.

    The name's roughly Red Donald in Gaelic.

    My mum decided one day that she was going to get the kids (me (8) and my sister(6)) a pony and ever since we have always had ponies and horses.... some 17 years now... It was used as an excuse to get herself back into horses after my Grandad had banned her from having anything to do with them since she fractured part of her back when she was 16 from a fairly bad fall.

    We then increased in the number that we had but 11 years ago I bought my first horse and competed fairly successfully for a few years up until I went to university, his name Keiman Prince. I tend to use Keiman as it is a fairly unique user account to have and is free on most forums.

    Since University I haven't done all that much other than get a job and work, I still have him and he now lives at home in the feild at the side of the house...

    I had a US customer who always called me Doctor Steve. He even introduced me to his customers as Doctor Steve. I was never sure if he was taking the p155.

    Long ago before the earth was hard i worked with a guy who decided that everyone we worked with (80+) had to have a nickname. As my surname is Warner he decided, Jack. Nice and simple except everyone knew my Dad as Jack. So he went into a bit of a creative fugue. Jack > Wolfman Jack > Wolfie. This was extended to Wooliferkins by someone with a penchant for 1930s professional actors voice styles. It stuck.

    favourite book is Winterdance, by Gary Paulson - you have to read it for the bit where he practices for the Iditarod (Dog Sled race across Alaska) during the summer time by hitching a bike up to a husky team.... you'll never think mtb is scary again!

    I chose it for an old xbox id years ago as I was really into Splinter Cell at the time. Used it ever since. Not exactly cycling related unless I get into night sportives!

    TreeTops - where my head resides most of the time (I'm 6ft 9)

    Could alternatively be called:

    Hedgerows - where I land after crashing the motorcycle
    - or -
    Inspector Gadget / Metal Mickey / Ironside / Steve Austen - given the amount of metal in my body (hip) and surgery I've had
    - or -
    Big John - because I'm big and my name is John !
