[Urban_Dreamer]

I suspect that mine is fairly obvious.

I don't get a chance to get out into the wild as much as I dream of doing.

That and when I signed up the question had been asked on another board that I frequent under, I'm sad to say, my name.

 

[Womble]

Wimbledon.

Well actually, in the nineties I used to produce flyers for a fake Games company called The White Wizards of the Leading tactical Strategic Workshop, whose least-worst selling range of games were set in the Womble of Darkness universe. The name seemed quite nice, so I've used varients of WombleofDarkness, DarkWomble and just Womble as user names on various Internet forums.

For reference, games produced by the WWOTLTSW included:

Womble, the Cleansing,
Rubbish the Gathering (it's collectable card game)
Clanger, the keening,
Bagpuss the Snoozing
Womblestar Galatica
The Mighty Morphin' Teletubbies
Spice Marines (a Girlpower 40,000 game)
Spiffing! (a game of being thoroughly british bounders and cads)
Watergate: SG1
Womblesgate II, a prequel to the forthcoming World of Womblecraft
Dice Hard, and
Music, the composing (a collectable chord game)

Pricess were fluid, but payment could be made by cash, cheque, Debit Card, Charge Card or Run Away card (Royal Bank of Camelot).

 

[stovie]

I may have answered this before, or indeed it may have been another thread of the same name...anyway, for those of you with a lack of interest, my parents gave me this name...and for those of you who have read my previous post, I refer you to that...

God bless Stovie, and all that drink of her...

note the foreground

Ps. I used to love a fat cigar when camping (known as a stovie)...but because of a certain "Red"...and health grounds, have put them to one side (never say never)...but so far, so goo......
