    It is the name of the Elven God of Smitthery, an anagram of my 3rd favorite driving instructors middle name, and, if translated into hieroglyphs, the recipe for a long forgotten soup, that will cure all known ills (apart from thrush in a rude place).

    my nick name comes from a few years back when I first started to ware glasses, in the local pub Jamie the barman thought they made me look like Curly Watts from Coronation Street, so the name Curly sort of stuck......... on most sites, irc....etc, I go under the name Curly99 as Curly is often in use.

    Nickname used to be Unts - derived from a computer program called Unterwegs, a German teaching program, the word itself meaning "underway." (Could it get ANY geekier than that?)

    Then Bo' Selecta came along, and "our Kez" was tagged on me pretty well, given my surname of "Kerrison".
    PHP Code:
    $s = new signature();
    $s->sarcasm()->intellect()->font('Courier New')->display();

    erm, i was JJQ... which was short for jaffa jelly queen which was chosen at the time cos i needed a new nick and i was addicted to jaffacakes, and it kinda stuck. People still call me JJQ or "jaffs" from time to time.

    My nick is only Elmo now cos i was naughty and signed up again, then i had the choice of if i wanted to keep jaffaqueen or elmo, i chose elmo cos jjq had bad vibes, and elmo has since stuck

    i also find the muppet from sesame street hillarious!

    I've had mine ooooohhhh...coming up to 8 years now.

    needed something original to match my personality...

    tigger = my fave winnie the pooh character (i collect the beanies, got 60 odd)
    rai = my nickname/general name. comes from shortening Rachel (rai-chel)

    there is only one of me... all others are imposters.
