Seen it asked a couple of times so just a quick explanation save cluttering up any other threads with the random question bout my name. FoR is a shortened version of my alias on fathers forums im involved with, Father of Roo, my sons nickname, a little man so far away but never out of my mind. Reply to this message | Report message

All the best then. You confused me because most name changes are car and/or natural disaster related. He's not got big hind legs has he being knock named Roo ;-) Last edited by: rtj70 on Tue 3 May 11 at 23:20 Reply to this message | Report message

Nah, if you were to name him on appearance he would be along the lines of Tom Thumb, he is small for his age ( small at birth too ) so pulls off the little cherub thing just a little too well. Its just easier to call him Roo than his actual name which I think his mum picked out of a hat, as she does most of her parenting decisions... :-) Reply to this message | Report message

I can't understand the the reasons why some here would want to change their moniker on a regular basis, but then again I'm not a psychologist, psychiatrist, psychotherapist or psychoanalyst. Perhaps they've something to hide? I put my hand up to a temporary change, triggered by the mods at the inception of this site, but I think we more or less guessed who we all were.

>>I can't understand the the reasons why some here would want to change their moniker on a regular basis<< I had my original for ages, then went through a couple of others which I decided I didnt like, so have now reverted to another that I use elsewhere.

It was helpful in the old days when some name changers would end their posts with 'Was StuNorthants' or whatever their moniker had been, for a month or so. Reply to this message | Report message       4

I say, steady on. Someone has awarded me a negative gong. Was it Mr X, or might it have been Zero for saying he was seldom obnoxious instead of never? Or was it Stu for my failure to work out his new handle? My guess is it was someone regularly tormented or teased by Zero. Reply to this message | Report message

Some negative gongs may be due to fat fingers. The screen on the iPhone doesn't leave much room for error and I occasionally touch the Bad Spot when I'm looking for the Back arrow. Not sure the gong ever appears, though; nor do the green thumbs I sometimes award. Reply to this message | Report message

I can only think of one person currently posting whose discourse bears some resemblance to the egregious Mr X's. Perhaps he is one of those who think me offensive. If so I take it as a bit of a compliment. But who could the other be? One can be curious without giving a fish's tit so to speak. Reply to this message | Report message

>> Be a man. Don't be a twit or a wimp. Naming names can hurt, Sharon. But you have divined correctly that you are the person whose discourse bears a resemblance to Mr X's. Since, clearly, you aren't completely stupid, Tracey my dear, why don't you take your own advice and try to be a man instead of an annoying small boy? You never have anything interesting to say. You display nothing that I would call wit or humour. You have though, Sharuna, a small talent for being irritating. One of my daughters has a friend who reminds me of you. He's probably in his mid-forties now but still thinks of himself as a charming mischievous teenager. Constantly begging for a hard kick up the jaxie. Nothing interesting to say although far from stupid. Very seldom funny. But he thinks he is. I got sick of the little twerp in the end and chucked him out of my car. I am happy in the thought that I will never see him again. Either grow up, Shirelle you little tart, or 'go forth and multiply'. Reply to this message | Report message       1

Well I thought it funny at the time. Sorry if you didn't. I can do static caravans but remember by dad towing a large caravan with a Triumph Dolomite with I think a 1.5l engine. The van was too big and the route his mate suggested (hills) not a good idea. Last edited by: rtj70 on Wed 4 May 11 at 17:08 Reply to this message | Report message

You were over on the HJ site originally weren't you? But in case you weren't....
