Stirring up another old, but funny & interesting, thread!  :D

Bit boring compared to some as mine is only a slight re-spell of my abbreviated surname, but then I kept the same idea going with Fozzee the Subaru Forester (ee in memory of my mum Eunice) & Ozzee the Oztrail CT  :D

Use the same name on a number of sites - occasionally with a 41 added for my old Gun Battery in the RAA (RIP the Army Reserve Artillery  :'(   >:()

BaseCamp...  a self-reliant home away from home; a place of origin and sanctuary; a bolt hole and hub, ..of safety and serenity. ...

Was one of my boat's names. It had no name, but we needed to have one to log in for the Fraser classic one year (2003?). Dragging it up the beach into Waddy point, we were driving past all these custom plate boats with paint jobs of bulldogs and sharks with dripping blood and lots of muscles and stuff. My mate in the passenger seat said "do you think they are trying to compensate for something?". So we called my boat "Great Big C%ck". I had planned to get a muscular looking bantam rooster painted on it to save confusion but never got around to it.
The base operator couldn't repeat our call sign without wetting his pants so he shortened it to GBC. It's been my call sign ever since.

Slo1 , this comes from when a I had a car accident when I was 18. Due to an aquired brain injury and my mental capabilities were some what slow.
nurses started calling me the slow one.

Other web forums at the time had restrictions on length of your screen name so Slo1 was the out come.....

I joined a forum years ago and kept punching in different combinations of my last name till I found a username that wasn't taken, and have stuck with it ever since, I'm not actually a child.

I just thought "Dennis" was about as exciting as elevator music. Too 70's beige, so I tarted it up a bit

The town in Scotland nearest to where the head of my clan lives - in Duntrune Castle.  Thought to be the oldest continuously inhabited castle in Scotland.  Visited there some years ago and had a wee dram with the laird - bloody amazing.
