I randomly called my bike Mr Plum one day and it's the first thing that came into my head after the one I wanted was already taken.FCN 2 to 80

It is an anagram of ‘His moan’,
Also an acronym for “Special interest? Maintaining overwhelming narcissism and hubris”
It makes people believe that my name is Simon, and never suspect that it is really Arbuthnot, which has a bit too much of a feminine feel to me.
I’ve used it as my burlesque stage name ever since my old handle of ‘Iron Maggie’ started to lose me gigs in the Ben Elton stand-up era.
The shape is vaguely reminiscent of the skyline of Baton Rouge - so many, many memories. I can’t make tiramisu or use an adjustable spanner without remembering those heady days…..
When reversed it is the aboriginal word for ‘sacred piece of bark’
It uses every single vowel in the English alphabet with the exception of e and u.
There was once a Dneipr motorcycle and side-car outfit marketed under that model name which held (and still holds) the record for the most Bakelite by weight in any light vehicle.
If you add up the ‘numbers’ of the letters you get a total of 83 which is the age at which Dame Joan Sutherland died. If you apply the rules of numerology (which is now finally accepted by the Chartered Institute of Actuaries as an exact science after many years of debate) you reach the number 3 (8+3=12, 1+2=3) which has this to say about me (source; Astrology-Numerology.com)
The Life Path 3 indicates that you entered this plane with a strong sense of creativity and with wonderful communication skills. Achievement for you most likely comes through engaging your ingenious expression. A truly gifted 3 possesses the most exceptional innovative skills, normally in the verbal realm, writing, speaking, acting, or similar endeavors. Here we are apt to find the entertainers of the world, bright, effervescent, sparkling people with very optimistic attitudes. The bright side of this path stresses harmony, beauty and pleasures; of sharing your inventive talents with the world. Capturing your capability in creative self-expression is the highest level of attainment for this life path.
Life is generally lived to the fullest, often without much worry about tomorrow. You are not very good at handling money because of a general lack of concern about it. You spend it when you have it and don't when you don't.
All of which is absolutely spot on as an assessment of my personality.
You see – it works on so very many levels.FCN 5 belt driven fixie for city bits

MIne is from my CB handle years and years ago :oops: as it reflected (and still does reflect) elements of my job - in that I am a Biomedical Scientist, and in my specialism - where I no longer work - some of the patient results are reported in units such as 'millimoles/litre'.
Moles being linked to the molecular weight of a substance.
I did experiement at one time with Billy Roobin - Bilirubin being one of the substances a hospital laboratory will measure - but my name ain't Billy, William or Wills.0 -

I used to be ChrisInBicester, but I got bored of typing that lot so had it trimmed to this. And it's what people were referring to me with in their posts - CiB. Funny thing is I'm not normally known as Chris, and I don't live in Bicester. Or Binchester as DDD called it recently. I like that.0
