[drewdunnrespect]

mine drewdunnrespect came from the fact that i normally say "repect how are we" to close friends in greeting them instead of hello and have become quite famous for it so when i had to get an email address a certain best friend of mine said why not have drewdunnrespect and then when i needed a forum name i used my email address and that is why i am drewdunnrespect

[ol smokey]

Mine comes from the fact the for the last fifty odd years I have hardly had my smoking pipes out of my mouth. I really should change it as I stopped last week for about the tenth time. My longest time was a year and ten months. If it gives hope to anyone trying to stop, It gets easier each time you try. I really enjoy my pipes (have several to
change round and keep them sweet) and the only reason I am stopping now is that it is
beginning to make me Wheeze at bedtime, and cant really be good for me. My closest mate says fancy stopping in your seventies, thats daft. But I am surprisingly fit in all other ways, Still cycling, canoeing, camping, and occasionally hillwalking. so it seems a shame to self-injure myself at this stage in my life.

 

[Mang]

Mang is the bat from the Jungle Books. All Cub leaders choose a name from said book. I was adamant that I wasn't going to have mine from the inaccurate Disney film (did you know that Mowgli often sought Kaa the snake's help and that Bagheera and Baloo had Kaa's help in rescuing Mowgli from the monkey people?).

I gritted my teeth and read the book and he is featured as a messanger. A bat is great and easily recognisable image.

 

[Firebringer]

I should pretend I decided on it after serving time for wilful fire-raising, perhaps of an orphanage or a refuge for sick abandoned kittens.

In reality though it's reference to Prometheus. The legend appealed to me and I have a bit of a pyro streak in me.

My name is Leon, but due to someone else that rarely posted on here also being called Leon I added a -1 to it.

Sorry to disappoint people that I am not a Walter Mitty wannabe assassin
