I was wondering where everybody got their username from ?

Mine is easy.

My name is Pat and I drive a large motorbike as my favourite hobby and have always had a love for driving a motorbike.

Hence Biker Pat

Be interested to know what's behind all your usernames.

Maybe there's a funny story .....

Crusty's been my nickname since 1st class in primary school. Simply
because I didn't eat the crusts off the bread, I always left them behind on the
plate. It's that simple, but it's stuck with me for 24 years.

I wanted to pick one based on a Grove song (and somehow 'Paranoid', ‘Psycho Killer’ & 'Lay Lady Lay' didn't really give the right impression).  Off the top of my head, I thought Lola was a nice enough name.

However, on recent closer inspection of the lyrics I suddenly realised the connotations –

"But I know what I am and I’m glad I’m a man, And so is Lola"

(I'm female!).

MMMMmmm….must have a think about changing it.

Biker Pat, I think you deserve an award for being the most enthusiastic board member and trying to encourage interaction on the board!

On Usernames,

Someone in school ( David's,Artane ) used to call me Rolo and I met him for the first time in about 10 years around the time I joined the site. Just revived memories of my Grove years 1979 - 1986.

On areas , originally Artane , now Killester. ( Very adventurous you see.)

Anyway, looking forward to Sunday Night. Missed the last two through no fault of my own.

Rolo.

i'm fairly sure it was none other than crusty himself christianed me mozz back around 1989 & it's pretty much stuck ever since or at least i still use it as my username login most places. other mates call me moe or use my christian name proper but i always liked mozz. always fancied it as a hybrid between moss {for maurice} & ozz{y}, he the prince of darkness. crusty?

My name was made up in haste coz I was in work (like now) and not supposed to be on the net, but to be super busy and efficient (like never).  Don't really like it but it was what I came up with under pressure.

I'll second Lola's praise of Biker Pat, the board tends to be quiet most of the time..........more discussions needed!

Biker Pat,

Mine is eejit91 - got married 1991 but I'm no eejit!! just live in the states and it was a password I used and a handle since the good old yanks don't know what that is!!!

Love the eejit part.

It reminds me of a time I was in Memphis with my Bro and a pal and we were heading back to out hotel and still negro guy stops us on the corner and ask us where we wuz goin?

He looked like Huggy in Starsky & Hutch and was just kinda funny.

So he asks where we're from and when we told him Ireland he asks us to speak some Irish.

Then he asks what his name in Irish is. I can't remember his real name but we told him his name was "Amadan". Insert fada over last A.

He thinks this is great and asks how to say "I am Amadan".

So we told him, "Ta me amadan". Again insert fada's.

Off he goes as happy as larry shouting "Ta Me Amadan"

I nearly wet myself Embarrassed

Hiya Biker Pat.

I picked my name after the girl in "The Lost Boys". I remember as a really young teenager thinking she was the most beautiful , cool girl I had ever seen and I loved her name and always wanted her name and to be like her. Anyone remember the actress I am talking about?Long curly black hair and she wore deadly sparkly long hippy skirts etc, so cool. I'll stop now..i'm starting to sound like I fancy her!LOL

Don't you know that it's different for girls..............

Hippy chicks are great. He says with a tear in the eye as he fondly remembers those last riffs from Jimi at the great Woodstock festival with a hippy chick whispering in my ear "Hey BiKer Pat, you wanna get it on".

I am a deeply religious person, and my beloved mother called me right in the middle of my daily bible reading. I told her to hold while I marked my page so I could resume after the conversation. She then explained to me that there was a Grove Social Club website, and we chatted a while. After I hung up, I resumed my Letters from Saint Paul, Page 78.

Believe me, I've had countless guys/girls over the years asking me if "Brunswick" related to any or all of the following:

1. A town called Brunswick in the States

2. Brunswick Street in Dublin

3. A printing shop in Dublin called "Brunswick Press"

4. Bowling (apparently the word "Brunswick" appears on bowling balls!)

5. My favourite, apparently there's a "cellar brewery" in Edinburgh called Brunswick something (not sure what a "cellar" brewery is but presumably they make beer so that will do for me!!)

In any case, its just the character name that I use in the games I play

Rolo - 'drinks like a fish' -I don't think so - - did I ever tell you that I didnt' start drinking until after I did the leaving cert?

Brunswick - ok identify yourself in detail - - do you know me  - - how could you call me a supertramp!!! (I'm deeply hurt - especially since it's a long time since I.............ok won't go there)

Theresa - i'd be afraid of what people might say about me if I called myself Miss universe (i.e. who does she think she is?)

Any better suggestions - - see what I mean - - it's not easy

Poor Xgh or Russ won't know where to start when they back from hols.bigcry

Rolo.

Jaysus Rolo, didn't know there was that many newbies. It's great and I hope they all enjoy contributing.

I think the doc sparked off the surge.

Pity the website wasn't mentioned on the doc. I mentioned it in my interview but it was obviously edited out.

well...mine is simple...was trying to think of something funny this morning  to log on as cos I wanted to surprise herself (bluebell). Scoured through Led Zeppelin and AC/DC songs looking for something fitting( almost called myself Big Balls...swear to god!!)..and then remembered the  really cool band who do Bluegrass cover versions of AC/DC songs...and is a phonetic play on AC/DC as well of course...so hey...here I am...for better or worse

Ok I'll bite..

Aurnia is latin I think for Orla. I have it on a name plate, with all the other variations of Orla. I use it on the net quite a bit.

Mine is rather dull... just my initials and my years of tenure at the Grove (as best I can remember)

Mel, you're surname wouldn't begin with an L and end with an N by any chance would it?

Er, it would actually DC.  You can find my name if you click on my username in the 'memberlist' at the top of the page.

Any more clues as to your identity? (actually, I'll go check if you put it down in your user-details!!)

Ah yes, was just so used to people leaving that section blank, it never occurred to me to check.

Sorry should have said, it's Daryl. Suspect I'll be seeing you over the Halloween weekend, both in the Shieling and Clontarf Castle (is that where it's on again this year?)

If it makes you feel better Lorri I don't think I know anyone here except on this site. But sure I guess that's what this site is all about putting us fanatical Grovers in touch.

Blondie, I hadn't seen this thread until now, so posted my username explanation in the wrong place....Ooops.

So here it is in the right place.

Esthalon was the name of my first ever roleplaying character (an Elf) who was killed by Orcs (nasty foul creatures). Twas a tragic demise. They impaled her....it wasn't pretty.

However she now lives on as my pseudoname on the net.

Howdy,

User name is from schooldays - an abbreviation of my surname -

I am one who does not know Brunswick  - however I know CP does.

By the way Star, the actress in "Lost Boys" playing the part of Star was Jami Gertz.

Hi Lorri I dont know Mel either least dont think I do.

Had'nt meet anyone on web site before but have to say having been very brave and venturing along to last reunion to meet up with the mad bunch had a really great time

Yeh Esthalon went looking for this thread earlier to see if you had posted.  So many threads easy to miss a few.
