    I have always wondered with some why you chose what you did

    Some are obvious of course and i suspect smudger / simms are school nick names and mike2006 seems clear

    But - Moog?
    - Clive of the Kremlin that was Cassiobury?
    - Ghost of Endean
    - Bert Slater
    - KnightGT

    Share your thinking - there must be a story!

    Mine is just a statement of what i am - Miserable / Old and a total git

    I first registered with the old official club board when we had Vialli as manager and registered as "suffering with a smile"

    I just spent a lot of time posting all sorts of happy stuff about the situation and how wonderful life was with Vialli

    Vialli went and I stopped suffering

    Our logons at school used to be our surname with our first initial (making mine reids), I then went to register on a forum, and all the names I wanted were taken, so used my school logon thinking it wouldn't be widely used, it worked and for the last 12 years or so i've been using it as my online alias!

    Mine is a mash up of Barry Endean who is my earliest VR memory (na na na-na, na na na-na, hey-ey, Barry Endean) and The Ghost Who Never Lies from Family Guy.

    The only defence I have for my username, which is probably a leading contender for the award of 'least imaginative', is that I only discovered this forum last year; registered while lazing around on holiday (hence the happy) & couldn't be bothered to think of anything original or witty - the 24 is neither a reference to my age nor year of birth; the truth is somewhere between the two
