Originally a comment on my lack of finesse when rock climbing. :)

I prefer steep gritstone jam cracks which require a somewhat 'thuggish' technique but I seem to have the same approach to other types of routes. :)

The name seemed to fit well with an interest in bushcraft and primitive technology.

I chose 'TheGreenMan' as my user name, not because of the mythical spirit of the woods (well, maybe a little)

Aaah so you don't like my somewhat alternative back patch then :(

Indeed I do, Red! If someone would like to post a tutorial about cross-stitch, I'll add this to my list of new year projects! :)

Best regards,

Hawkeyethenoo is what people think Scots steriotyped say, Och Aye The Noo and as I am a tracker with Shadowhawk ans am sharpeyed i thought the play on words was cool. I thought the avatar was also a bit freaky, look at the reflection in the eye and you see someone screaming.

I never thought of doing that; my other short nicknames, Mac, Pict, etc., were taken, so I went back to my first one from my maiden surname. Normally my little brother uses it but he's not in this forum yet.
Cheers,

As to Toddy, I thought it was because she was Hot and she helps you to get over the cold ;)

As to my signature quote, it is a rip off of Tiger Woods golf pga tour comentators,
" to Tiger patience is not a virtue, it is a weapon."

The game is up I am busted :D

Newton Abbot, Devon.
Bigman - my work colleagues called me this, which was some twenty years ago now and it stuck.

Plus I am a reasonably large chap as well and my surname has always made people laugh, (Little).

Mine came from the fact that everybody I knew growing up thought I was Feral, including my parents. I suppose now thinking about it I was. I only ever came inside to sleep and eat, no matter what the weather. I could have used the transaltion of my surname but it comes across as just wrong these days,

Mine's easy...

When I started shooting my home made bows alongside things that look like they could get channel five they've got so many appendages someone said 'that's nothing but a bent stick'.

I could have got upset but it was much easier to ride with the tide...
