Adam Elsdon Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 Adam: The obvious biblical references apply, although i have a sneaking suspicion that my mother liked "Adam Faith" ! Elsdon: Northumberland border town near Otterburn, a Celtic tribal capital at the time of the roman occupation and later was centre to alot of border skirmishes and fighting with the Scots, also centre to the Border Reivers trade, crossing the border and stealing scots cattle. Basically our family likes a fight and a steak! A poem about Elsdon and what a traveller thought of it, they possibly could of tweaked the tourism customer service aspect... Hae ye ivver been at Elsdon ? The world's unfinished neuk It stands amang the hungry hills, An' wears a frozen leuk. The Elsdon folk like diein' stegs At ivvery stranger stare; An' hather broth an' curlew eggs, Ye'll get for supper there. Yen neet aw cam tiv Elsdon; Sair tired efter dark Aw'd trovell'd mony a lyensome meyle Wet through the varra sark Maw legs were warkin' fit ta brik, An' empty was me kite, But nowther love nor money could Get owther bed or bite. At ivvery hoose iv Elsdon Aw teld me desperate need, But nivver a corner had the churls Where aw might lay me heed; Sae at the public hoose aw boos'd Till aw was sent away; Then tiv a steyble- loft aw crept An' coil'd amang the hay. Should the Frenchers land iv England Just gie them Elsdon fare; By George ! they'll sharply hook it back, An' nivver cum ne mair For a hungry hole like Elsdon Aw nivver yit did see; An' if aw gan back tiv Elsdon, The De'il may carry me.

Runflat Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 Runflat - comes from the name given to bullet proof tyres. When shot through they will continue to run at normal speeds for at least 50 miles, which is plenty long enough to go and hide behind the nearest hill and makes you wonder when the driver actually realised he'd been 'hit'. Little known fact: a Mr Frank Fellowes of the Dunlop sales department received the MBE for his work on the development of these tyres. Don't know why I picked the name - I just liked it I guess. Nothing to do with liking exercise (I don't) or being b****y heavy (I'm not). I can't believe the comments that all the best names are gone. I'm sure there are some lasses out there who would love to be known as 'softskin', and for the boys who wants to own up to having a 'half-tracked-mind'?

M5Clive Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 M5 Clive ? Not as some may think an allegiance to the motorway that runs from the west country to Brum, but moreso the MV that I owned until March of this year - Pictured Below Ok, to be strictly correct it should have been M5A1, but what the hell. Sadly it had to go when we needed funds to build the following................. Ok, so I should now change my HMVF Name, but WillowCottageClive hardly has the same ring to it!

Old Bill Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 With my particular interest in the Great War, I wanted something really well known but also laughable. ('Subsidy' or 'Solid Tyres' just didn't have the right ring). Unfortunately, it took me six months to realise that to most people, 'Old Bill' is the Police force! Clear concience I guess.....

Joris Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 It has been a long time ago since we had this thread, so I thought it time for a new round Some members use their real name on the forum, like me, but a lot use a nickname. This is your moment of fame, your change to enter the spotlight and explain your chosen nick-name!! Most have a story behind it and I would love to hear it.
