VIRULENT SALAMANDER
Forager
Ok will do!
when I first discovered MSN Messegener, I chose a pic. of a Salamander/lizard through frosted glass for my display picture.
when I joined a MSN Group they give me a list of a alternative usernames I could use as mine was taken and Virulent Salamander was one of them. It was chosen to remind me that a little while before I was
in St. Luke's in Swindon and notice a little Salamander/lizard in the corner of a window(and to find out why it was there).
hence; I use it here, I use it there and I'm thinking of using it every where.

Hope that answers it for all you folk.

I don't use the same name on all forums I participate in but I'm glad you asked. Nobody else ever has!
I used to be a Rover and Land Rover owner in a previous life. Over the years I have owned a 2000-TC, a 3500 and a 1965 (real) Land Rover. At one time, before the war, Rover used in advertising a stunt of driving to the South of France faster than the Blue Train, which evidently went to the English Riviera. It was hard to find names not already taken until I hit on that one.
I've come down in the world since then. Now I drive a Ford Escort.

Firewyre's one of three names I use online - the others are Bog-fiend and Tinkergirl.
Firewyre was just because I liked the sound of the word Firewire (the cable) but it was a bit too conventional, so (also liking the very old game 'Bloodwych') I tweaked the spelling a little, retaining the phonetic use.
As it stands, it can sound technical/computery (because of the cable connection), mystical (because of the 'wyre' spelling) and elemental (because of the 'fire'). Very few of these represent me, but it keeps people guessing
Bog-fiend was because I lived in a place in Scotland that had 'bog' in the name (yes, there really was a bog) and randomly liked the word 'fiend' that day.
Tinkergirl was created when I was on a computer game forum because I like being able to tinker and modify with things in games. In mmorpgs and rpgs I play crafters and explorers. And, well, I'm a girl. Frequently misremembered by people as Tinkerbell - grr.

Riddle of Steel
From the story of Conan the Barbarian. It serves to remind me that it is not the tool or even possessing the ultimate tool. It is the hand that holds it, the mind that powers it.

My name is there to remind me of the best outdoorsy job i ever had. I was a pastore in the Swiss alps, which roughly translates to shepherd but in fact i looked after cows.
