They probably don't even know who Batfink is anyway so they probably wouldn't even notice your error.

That's very true. The eldest at 16 the other week thought I had the arse with her because I put a full stop at the end of a message I sent her!

Ended up going out one evening many years ago in a very badly ironed shirt, so bad I had to keep my coat on for the evening.

The nickname "TheCoat" has stuck ever since

Mine is very boring and self explanatory.

Nickname from work plus number of the beast. (Seems a common number on the forum, also number plates )

first time I came off my bike and had road rash my (then very little) kids called me Graze (real name Graeme) now everyone outside work does

Good post Mike Fish - like reading stuff like this and the banter!

Mine was just because I was new to the forum thing when I bought the car and I was young when I bought it

Kind of sucks now though on both counts!

I break everything, even things that were apparently unbreakable, so, my biz partners starting calling me Bamm-Bamm. It stuck, mostly because I'm still breaking everything.

So I thought I'd start a thread so we can share the story / reasoning behind our usernames.

Mine is quite straightforward, MikeFish is not my real name, but my surname is the Greek for fisherman so have been referred to as Mike Fish for as long as I can remember.

What's yours?

Mike, are you THE fisherman the cryptic Amanda speaks of?

^ Yours is from when you once ate 79 kit kat chunkies isn't it?

Mine is just a nickname from when I was young. Anyone remember Nobby the Sheep on CITV's Ghost train show? Well ever since it was on my brother insisted in calling me Nobby, although some of my other family members also call eachother Nobby which is a bit weird.
