My name is Lee, and i simply reversed the letters to make eel. the first time i tried to use that, i was told its not enough letters! being 28 at the time, i simply added those numbers, and have used it on many websites since.

wow now i feel old, the first time i used this nickname, was 11 years ago now!
 
It's my 'Trading Name' I'm an electrician

Made up from mine (Tom) and my wifes (Yvonne) initials and tek (tech) at the end.

TY-Tek is the proper way of writing it.
I even have a emergency number 075-999-TYTEK (do you know how hard it is to get 8 digits???) if you need a sparky in a hurry in the Leeds area.
 
it's because I'm an absolute stunner who embodied the sexual promise of the 70's
AHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHH heh*wipes eyes*
It's cause my lovely old dad understands me too well and gave me a Marttiini knife which I love to bits, and is my 'go to' blade for everything from fishing to fire building :)
 
my truck is *Big* and a *Beast* so i`m taking my name from my truck

Slight hijack, but is that a Pajero by any chance?
 
Hello everyone! I'm a brand new member to the forum and this is my first post.

During the course of trying to lighten my backpack load, I discovered such a fond attachment to my mini whisk that it is one luxury item I will always take with me - its like 'Wilson' to me ... if you know the film. : ) I intend to make the one pictured in my avatar, in the middle of a wood, at some point in my life.

You drink Japanese tea and have a fondness for miso and tofu and an unhealthy fixation with Tom Hanks.

Welcome to the forum - you'll fit right in. :D

I enjoy a good read, and Len Deighton has a series revolving around one Bernard Samson.
In said series his wife refers to him as Waldganger, which apparently is a german word for "one who walks alone in the woods"

saying that I've picked up a dozen german-english dictionaries and even googled and never found that translation. I doubt he made it up but I wonder what age the word comes from
 
I honestly didn't know what I should name myself for signing up on Song of The Paddle, but decided that since my boat is propelled by oars and a paddle (for the narrow stuff) ... , that that nick would have to suffice. I used the same here, as it seemed like it would be better to use the same nick.
