    I never use Famished in real life but everytime someone comments on how Famished they feel because they are hungry it makes me laugh inside. How sad

    only when introducing myself to fellow forumers - it tends to go something like this "i'm elmo" "WOW! I was expecting you to be 12!" "no, i'm 21, my real name is Fiona, please don't call me elmo in real life" "ok...."


    <edit> when i was called jaffaqueen i was referred to as "jaffs" or "jaffa" and more often "JJQ" which i didnt mind much then, but it's a time that i now wish to forget so only really oldskool people call me that

    Well "BEANFro Elite" is a new nickname I used for heXus at first but it was so frightfully easy to remember that I now use it for practically everything but the cut down "Beanfro" version...

    In games I am "Cruncher!!" but in Call of Duty I am "Cpt. Cruncher!!" but my old name used to be "RúMP$TéíN" which I now usually only use in my video projects (as some of you have probably seen )...

    It's really only Frosty who occasionally calls me "Beany" but otherwise everybody who knows me calls me "Andrew" and not "Andy"...

    Well my real name is Dom, but i'm not paraniod about using my full name on the internet like most people seem to be. I use my full name for eBay, simply because people tend to put more trust in someone who is open about thier identity. Or at least thats the therory. Also my main email address is my full real name, as it's better for job apps etc.

    In fact, to tell the truth i don't think i really like the whole net handle/nickname thing that much. I would prefer people using real names, but if you can't beat 'em you might aswel join 'em.

    Lob the ie off my username and you've got my surname. I can think on my feet when it comes to nickname creation, I'll tell you that for free.
