  • How did you get 'Yours' ?

    I'm always intrigued as to how and why people get their on-line names, and avators....
    How did YOURS' come about? and what's the story behind it all?

    In case any of you are shy at all, and to start the ball rolling....
    My completely gorgeous bloke Paulie, is affectionately known as 'Trousers', because he calls me 'The Skirt', particularly when he's not sure of something, and he says, "Oh, I'll have to ask The Skirt"....
    Why he's got a picture of the cottage as his avator instead of a pair of Trousers is still giving me sleepless nights, but hey, it's not my party, is it?!

    As for me, I've been known as Wellie for as long as the Pope has had a balcony. And the reason being is I'm very rarely seen OUT of a pair of wellies, and no, I don't sleep in them, but yes, that's an oldie, I could if paid enough (!)
    My avator (Flowerpot Flob-a-Lob) was made as part of a gardening competition that I took part in when my father was terminal.
    My father would have been over the moon. I won First, Second, and Highly Commended, with Flob, and other entries. And I take HUGE glee in 'dressing him up' and 'dressing him down' as the mood takes me, to make me giggle. There's a spectacular photo of him with a Piglet Kebab that I'd like you all to see sometime (!) AND, I plan to make him a girlfriend this year....

    SO?
    Could we start 2007 getting to know each other do you think?!

      Lol! Great post and a darn good idea Wellie!

      My user name came from the fact that my hubby, Lee chose the name of Dobby (from the Harry Potter films) as his ID, he signed up to the forum before me (he only works 3 days a week compared to my 5), so he 'found' the vine, and told me about it! I then signed up as Mrs Dobby (without telling him, was a good laugh when he saw my username! lol!)

      My avatar is a nice piccy that Mr D likes, he took it of me in October, when we were first clearing our plot, from the reactions of a few of the guys on here, I think they like the piccy!

      So, who's next?
      Blessings

        I'm Tigger - as you know Wellie - because it's my nick name at work. I 'm the sort of person that jumps up and down with joy, or frustration, or delight, or anger or anticipation or anything else.

        I'm generally a happy soul and an excited being.

            Tigger !
            No, I KNOW you jump up and down all the time, and you're completely incorrigible (if I knew how to spell it this late at night...) and, now you know that I'm that cheap, if someone paid me that I'd wear my wellies in bed.
            How will I ever live it down?!
            No, forget that, I've just thought of a way....

                  Hi all. My username is also classifiable as boring. My name is shirley but it was already taken. Shirley can be a boy or girl name so thegirl sorts that out. 43 is my house number and gets used so I remember where I live!

                  The avatar is my beloved car. The gardening connection? Oh, there is one and it isn't that the car gets used to take gardening stuff around - that is simply not allowed.... anyone want to have a go at guessing? Clean replies only please!
                  Happy Gardening,
                  Shirley

                    Erm, I live in a region of Lancashire called Over Wyre (as you have to cross the River Wyre to get here) and I grow stuff... hence the name!

                    I could have used my nickname at home, but it would take too long to explain to everyone!

                    Avatar is a pic of our Boxer puppy Max taken on the beach at sunset...

                    Pretty boring really!

                      I work for the RSPB and worked for a couple of seasons as the Warden on the beautiful island of Papa Westray in Orkney. The islanders there call the Warden either "Birdie Man" or "Birdie Wife", hence etc etc. kinda liked it really. The avatar is because, well, it gets quite cold up here in the winter. In fact, the temp gauge in the car was reading -37degC yesterday !!! But it's broken

                          Between two hobbies, horses and gardening, I seem to spend most of my time shovelling muck! As for the diva bit, well, where did I put those slingback wellies....

                            Boring here too! Bex because my name is Rebecca (which I don't like) most people shorten it, thank god, to either Becky or Bex.

                            My avatar is a picture taken from my favourite place, Cavus Bay in Turkey where I hope to live one day.
