Reading the forum there are some very obvious logins such as BrianH and Phil Waters, but where do some of the more obscure come from?

Mine comes as a result of setting an email account up 5 years ago. Paul had already got one as cathsbruv (cath being our sister) so I decided to try cathsbruv2 (taken) paulsbruv (taken) so decided to be the other brother or ovverbruv.

The rest as they say is history
 
I use a few of them. Irish Stamp being the first horse i saw or one of them when I went up to see Ferdy Murphy's yard when in about 1998.
 
Just as I was registering, a traffic update was being broadcast on Radio Two and they were passing on information rung in by a trucker calling himself Diamond Geezer.
 
I was Monty when we were C4 after Montjeu who is a horse close to my heart amd wallet. When this site first set up I was Wayward Lad my allt ime favourite horse but when reconstruction took place I couldn't register my old nane for some reason.
I chose Tout Seul as I had backed the horse at 33/1 to win the Guineas as the last leg of a Super Yankee including Best Mate 4/1,Moscow Flyer 9/2,Azertyuiop 10/1 and Rooster Booster 8/1
 
On the Ch.4 site I was just Jon, not knowing you could choose usernames. I got fed up with the woofter references when I mentioned some things, so thought I'd use the name of the barmpot Arabian I had in Saudi. Under the circumstances of THAT forum, a mostly uncontrollable, if not certifiable, animal seemed quite appropriate! It is, in fact, an American family name, not Arabic, and I don't know if it's 'Krizzon' or 'cry-zon'. Wha'evvah... :confused:
 
I posted under the name of NED (one of a few nicknames I had others being RICKY, J-R.) on CH4 website............... but like a few others on here when we were supposed to re sign up, the names were already taken so more out of frustration I put MERLIN the MAGICIAN as a piss take! I suppose :P and yes you now know it, it accepted it that's how my username as stuck with me.............................
 
I used to do my illegal bookie in the pub and called myself Honest Tom the bookie. I thought about calling myself Dishonest Tom the bookie but then people would've said "at least he's honest".
 
Surprisingly, mine is an abbreviation of my surname, used by a couple of friends when addressing me and, more disturbingly, one woman whilst I was, erm, active with her. Fair put me off my stroke.
 
on the final furlong i'm keith which is my name
but on here i am gunner because of my love
for arsenal football club :shy:

I chose An Capall because of some coinciding physical attributes.

Garnie Bougoure was one of the australian stable jockeys for Paddy Prendergast back in the day. Through a long story it ended up as my nickname since I was 10.
 
When I came down here to work one of the lads gave me the nickname Arkwright because of my accent (although I don't have a stutter).
Those who know me will argue that I have other traits in keeping with the miserly shopkeeper.
