    Rex would probably agree with you about that bit, and incidentally to your - know the queen, do we? - the answer would have to be, yes

    Royal, perhaps it should have been worded "does the queen know you?"

    I'm very much afraid mine is exactly what it says on the tin! The only unusual bit is that David is actually my middle name, but is what is used by friends and family! <ok>

    You must be severely old Dave, being called by your middle name is synonomous with octegenarians.

    Never really understood what people have against cats ? Personally I wouldn't be without one living where I do. A cat will kill all rodents, mice, rats etc as well as creepy crawlies and are extremely clean animals, (unlike filthy dogs) and are forever preening themselves as they hate to be dirty. Not only that, they will stop other cats ****ting in your garden and won't **** there either, well mine won't anyway. They don't take much looking after, all you need to do is feed them and the're happy. Ok, they can be vicious bastards sometimes and will kill birds even if they are not hungry but, hey-ho, you can't have everything !

    All I know is the Romans called the Island Vectis. Sorry, I don't actually know what it means.

    I was trying to register to the pink'un a few years ago and couldn't think of a name. For some reason I had the song "Paint Me Down" by Spandau Ballet in my head at the time so just adapted it into a username.

    Plus I'm a bit pervy too.....

    No, I tend to find the neighbours have the issues, clearing the gardens before the kids go out to play, and standing in it on dark winter nights on their gravel drives

    You left an it out, it should be Kick off, throw it in (have a little scrimmage).

    My name isn't as straight forward as it looks, I'm a season ticket holder in the Snakepit so that bit is easy but Harry is a nickname I've had since I was about 10 years old, there are now more people who call me Harry than by my proper name of Mark.

    Mine is actually derived from an obscure comedy show that used to air a few years ago called 'The Mighty Boosh.' In the first episode, one of the characters ends up in a boxing match with a kangaroo and it arrives to the ring in a crate labelled 'Dangerous Marsupial' which I adopted as my name on 606 and carried onto here because I thought it was hilarious, although I was about 15/16 at the time!

    Mine is obvious.

    At the moment, Marsupial wins my vote btw.

    I'm a bit of a language buff, so had to look Vectis up. 2 Theories: 1) Vectis is Latin for a level or crowbar, and could relate to the IOW looking like a lever between the 2 arms of the Solent. 2) My favourite: which is that it derives from an Old Germanic/Old English word for a little girl or little companion. The word was adopted and Latinised by the Romans, and ,as what often happens, it got assimiiated into a word, Vectis, recognised by the Romans, which seemed also to make some sense.

    Although I am big, hairy, and naturally a winger (or central midfield), my name actually came from a conversation with DHCanary on Twitter, which included me stating I was about to become his #BigHairyStepdad.

    Since he introduced me to Not606 a few weeks later, it seemed only fitting.

    On the name front; my current one is fairly obvious. My first name for the Pink un, (until they cancelled all our passwords and I had to rejoin), was 'If I promise to Behave'. I had no idea why I used the name until I mentioned it to one of my brothers, and he said that I always used to say that to them, (I was the only girl), when I wanted to join in their much more interesting games.

    Maybe Monarch is a butterfly or an Airline that does cheap flights?
