devonFRATTONiser 606


I lived in Plymouth (in Devon) for 25 years
Although I'm a Pompey supporter, I enjoy friendly banter as well as proper football discussion with Saints fans, so one could say that I 'frattonise' with our biggest rivals. The FRATTON part of frattoniser is in capitals to give the word double usage, with Fratton Park being the home of Portsmouth FC! The 606 is simply a suffix added to my name on 606.

The ShelfSide part is in reference to our famous East Stand where I park myself for home games, the Spur bit is obviously relating to my team!<ok>
 
My username well this may take some time hope you all like a good story and please not to much laughing.

BadgerBasher came to be 15 years ago one summer day.after over laying for work i was pedaling like a crazy fool to get to work when i was half way down a hill and a badger came from nowhere and had me of me bike.

And to cut a long story short i ended up being 16wks late for work with a broken elbow+a broken nhand in 4 places.

So since that fatefull day ive been know as BadgerBasher/Badgerman/Badgey.

The Squiggler was the name I used on BBC 606.

Cardinal Wolsey - I fancied a change of username as I'd been using 'The Squiggler' for a few years. I was going through a box set of 'The Tudors' at the time, so he was fresh in my mind. I also thought I might throw in the occasional biblical quote where appropriate, but in reality I couldn't be arsed looking them up.

Michiel de Ruyter - Before I sat my state Dutch exam a few years ago, my teacher told the class that one of the common questions in the written exam was to write an essay about any famous Dutch person of your choice. My original choice was Prince William of Orange, but there was too much information to summarise in the time available, so I prepared an essay on Michiel de Ruyter instead. In the event, the bloody question never came up anyway. <grr>
