[Yorick]

Nick name,My niece couldn't say uncle chris,came out uncle kip,still being called it 24 years later.

I've got a mate who's still called Kib for same reason. But dates back to childhood.

 

[bigtwin]

A name I chose some years ago when a member of a the Ducati Sporting Club and it seemed apt because:
I rode a big twin (oh err missus!!)
Whilst not a 'twin' myself, I have twin boys!
It's arguably also apt in relation to our Moho (a large (8.4m) twin axle!).

For the bikers: I've since changed my original big twin 900SSi.e. for a 999S supplemented by an R1200 GSA.

@Pollyandarthur Very clever! ( But sorry about your health.)
Hope the knee op has gone well and you are on your travels again soon.

 

[quickweh]

Quick as in specialised quick connectors for testing car engines and refuelling natural gas vehicles and Weh, the German family business that employed me in the UK. Used the name on a forum for speed camera updates before Fun. Not so quick now so may have to change it

 

[Gorse Hill]

I'm 62 now and go up fairly regularly to see my sis who lives in Davyhulme and M-in-law in Stretford. It really has changed! Mind you, Manchester City centre is a foreign country to me now, I don't recognize a single street, except maybe Deansgate where I used to work.

Pips, placemate 7, rotters, Jill's, beer and tits, good memories but your right changed a lot and for the better

I have no imagination. I used my name and this was not accepted and then in a episode of dull-headeness used my initials and where I live. I wish I had come up with something witty before sitting in front of the laptop to register. Never been one for planning too much in advance.
