eddy8men Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 i joined the army straight from school at the tender age of 16. after several months of basic training my mind thought i was a muscle bound god and i strutted around as such but my body was still 9 stone soaking wet so the rest of the guys nicknamed me eddy8men because i thought i had the body of 8 men. still it could have been worse they could have called me dick ! i use my real name now because when i meet other forum members i couldn't remember what name i had told them and things were getting confusing and it doesn't take much to confuse me. rick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pzkpfw-e Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 I started on forums, with the now defunct, "Panzer Aces". Since in some circles, having an interest in WW2, tanks & the like, can get you a label as a Nazi Lover, I picked my pseudonym of Pzkpfw-e. This in german nomenclature, indicates a captured & reused English afv! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fv1609 Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 Since the original post I have since changed my "name". It used to be fv1620 as a mark of respect to a vehicle I had in my care for 14 years. It was sad to see it go & at the time I didn't want to keep reminding myself of the loss. So I changed to fv1609 to indicate my enthusiasm for the FV1609 I now own. (The use of small case letters is simply to avoid having to press the key shift button when logging in!) It is often not realised that the FV1609 is the real Armoured Humber Mk 1 The production Pig commonly referred to as Mk 1 is in fact the real Mk 2, as can be seen from the plate below. The plate above was removed from a scrap Pig that as it happened had later been up-armoured. But the plate pre-dates up-armouring as the Asset Code is not that for an up-armoured Pig & indeed the Asset Code constructed 6-2-3 digits pre-dates the 1967 system when it changed to 4-4 digits.

Redherring Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 'Redherrings'... the name seemed apt for a cobbled-together footy team whose members seem to collect more than their share of injuries during the season. The internet-based 'Toyota Dream Team Competition' is an Australian national passtime - 1st game of the AFL season this Friday... Go cats (and err redherrings). Wish me luck.

oily Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 When I used to come home from work (my 1st job when I left school was in engineering works), my mum used to say "hey, oilyboy, get off my nice clean chairs in those oily clothes!", so the name kind of got reserected when I bought the Saracen, for obvious reasons.... 'oily' is just the shortened version... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcspool Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 My dear friend Richard N. asked me what my family name Spoelstra means. Well, I told him: Spoel- = spool, -stra is a similar addition like "mc". Since that day I am known as McSpool among certain English friends.

Crippy Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 Crippy...... Well it was that or Spongly or Hopalong all fits I have a genetic disorder called HSP which affects the nervous system from the feet up, lets hope I am too old or dead by the time it gets to the nether region. But it will not beat me, whatever it throws up me and the boss, her indoors, she who must be obeyed etc will beat it or infact work round it.
