Even sadder that the BBC mods just took it as read that I was a racist because one person said it. No defence just guilty as accused. But that was the BBC mods down to a tee
'Smug in Antibes' came from living on the French Riviera, bodyguarding the likes of Britney Spears, having my own powerboat etc. Having been born into an impoverished mining family I had every right to feel smug imo. I could've kept the name but thought it was honest to change it when I came back to the UK. I now feel smug that I have all my family & friends nearby and managed to help my sons buy their own houses with my ill gotten gains. Despite what some people might think the username has nowt to do with me being right all the time
I play Pool, I've played to a high standard most of my life. I currently play for a local team and for Cleveland County. When you start a frame, you rackem' up....simples. The loser always racks them up for the next game, hence me shouting, "Rackem' for Mackem ! "
I used to play drums in a band called Shy Tall Knights (say it quick) and am both shy & tall, so kept it.
I've had a few changes Jumbo Whiffy - Character from Filthy, Rich & Catflap WeeJockPooPongMcPlop - The man who cleans the toilets in Aberdeen from Blackadder Goes Forth The Peckham Pouncer - Name that Del gives Rodney when hes falsely accused of rape on Only Fools..... Kevins Ear - In tribute to Rik Mayall (Kevin Turvey) Quentin Q. Benton - A one off character from a memorable episode from Bilko! My names tend to have a tv comedy theme!!!
in the 70s and early 80s I was decent my mate Paul Nord nearly made it to the top.it was in full flow them days .i don't know what it's like now.i remmember when the two shot carry on was introduced.
Poyet's Eleven, like Ocean's eleven. Went for a movie related name as my last name was The Vaughan Identity
Nope! I have 'changed my user name 4 out of an allowed 10 times' apparently! I get bored of my user name too easily and have the constant urge to change it!
This is my handle for many things internet. Comes from my drinking game days with the boys. You were allowed to pour a penalty shot for a mate as high as you liked as long as it wasn't completely full to the brim of the shot glass - otherwise you had to sip it down. A complete over pour/spillage was a penalty shot for the pourer of course. Meniscus is the word a pourer would often use to defend a high pour, claiming there was still some daylight between the top of the drink and the brim. **** knows why but it stuck and nobody else uses as it as a username for anything on the internet.
Certainly do mate. That rule was brought in for to improve TV viewing in the USA and the UK in the 80's. Pool with the "old rules' was deemed very boring to watch on TV because you were allowed to just cover the pockets which slowed games down too much. Now there are many different rules variations of Pool in the UK......I'm too old for the game now but still have the itch to kick arse.
There used to be a legend (in his own mind) called himself the MackemBigGun......Schwerer Gustav was the biggest gun ever made.....time for a change perhaps
I do my friend & although I know you don't need my defence, that's why I always do it. Anyway, user names. Mine came from Billy Death who played on the wing for us in the 20's. Changed it to BC at JtJ's suggestion after my last red card. Preceding reputation & all that. Stopped out last night with some good company so just having a bit of a catch up now.
I've sat in Sean Connery's seat in the directors box at Ibrox Park. Our youngun sat in Walter Smith's.
