Pseudo Forum names

[Peter Waller]

I used a 'real' name thinking that people wouldn't realise it was really a pseudonym.

[Guest tigger]

My username is Tigger after one of my well known ( in the BT world) stud dogs

Here he is

[Ken L]

but from a distance his acquaintaces refer to him as

'Far Ken L' - a not so subtle play on words!

 

Ah, the honourific term given to me by my former teacher in the ways of the martial arts - Grandmaster Fu - Ken L.

Well that's what people called him after he hit them - if they could still speak.

THE CHAVENDER, OR CHUB by W St Leger

 

There is a fine stuffed chavender

A chavender or chub.

That decks the rural pavender,

The pavender or pub.

Wherein I eat my gravender,

My gravender,or grub.

 

see even have poetry writen about the chavender or chub ,allthough i have considered having " chav & her " as a car sun visor with a couple of fury dice hanging from the rear view mirror as a ironic statement

[Ken L]

As opposed to Chavinder - a young Pujabi Male with a faux Jamaican accent and a car "dat" goes "Boom, Boom, Boom......"

I've only ever met a couple of Asian anglers in the UK.

Of course, I know loads in India and I hear that angling is very popular amongst the Indial population in South Africa so who knows, fishing might be the new cricket - or not.

[noodle996]

well when i started on this interweb thing being the carefull person i am i didnt want to put any personal details anywhere.

 

I was working with pot noodles at the time so for an email address i chose noodle996.....

 

hence the forum name

 

my official police/court/passport name is also on here as well as all of the others im on

 

did think about using tigger as its a nickname i get in real life but alas it was taken on a few sites, and rather then mix and match names im noodle, or noodle996 on all of them bar one which is a local forum

[Vagabond]

Back in the 1940s, our gang was referred to by the village elders as "those bloody little vagabonds". That was a description we thought worth living up to.

 

What the elders didn't realise was that the gang's campaign of poaching, scrumping and general pillage was in fact practice for the guerilla warfare we expected to have to wage should the threatened Nazi invasion become a reality!

 

When I decided to write about a boyhood during World War II and its immediate aftermath, the title "Angling Vagabond" came to mind. About that time I joined AN, and as most people then had pseudonyms, I chose "Vagabond"

 

"Vagabond" just means a wanderer (albeit an idle and disreputable one) - appropriate enough, as my wife idly wander the world, fishing, birdwatching, and trekking in wild places. We practice the "art of coarse travel"

 

Every so often someone gets hot under the collar about people "hiding behind pseudonyms" which is a bit of a nonsense, because

 

A. Most of the principle posters on here know each other's real identities anyway - we hold fish-ins and the like.

 

B. Just because someone posts under the name of (say) Henry C. Wilson doesn't mean that is his/her true identity anyway.
