Cheers Daniel

I think you've heard Mr Myagi (if I've spelled it right) saying Daniel san actually Daniel, not Daniel sun. Not that it matters much I suppose.

Everyone at work tells me to " slow down " ... so they call me " Flash ".

Flash.

Twas a user login name from a previous company I worked for derived from first three letters of surname + first two letters of given name, not very exciting

I'm not too sure of the original spelling but I went with the "sun" in "Danielsun" more for the Astro side of it being the pun.

I have 'worked' for Xerox for umpty ump years and someone who works for Xerox is a Xeroid.
But then I got redundanted, picked up by the company that does the outsource IT for Xerox so I became a Zeroid. Also a play on Zero ID ( no ID/name ).
The joke is I am still 'working' for Xerox ...

Over the years they have tried to get rid of me 3 x ... but I am still here Bwhahahahah

Well mine is to do with the job I did for 30 years, a Flight Service Officer with DCA, CAA, Airservices Australia. Similar role to Air Traffic Control.
When I left I became an ex flight service officer or Exfso...

[von Tom (Tom)]

"von Tom" dates from 1990 when I had to think up a name for my German pilot in a WWI flightsim called "Red Baron" on the Amiga. I have used it ever since.

Tom

[von Tom (Tom)]

Hey Peter, I'm with Airservices (they've now dropped the "Australia" part of it) - joined just after it changed from the CAA.

[blink138 (Pat)]

mine is also my business name which is an opticians
it came about because most opticians are a little on the "pedestrian" side so we chose "Blink", and 138 is my street number of the practice
it is of course a play on the band which i dont care for that much
pat

[Octane (Humayun)]

Pat,

Nice! Just for added trivia, the band's name refers to the number of times the 'F' word is uttered in Scarface, lol.

H

[blink138 (Pat)]

[stopusinmyid (Tammy)]

mine came about due to every time i tried to pick a user name for websites it always said it was in use. now this is the one i use for everything

[Chillie (Henry)]

My first choice of username was taken about six weeks before I joined so I ended up using the name of my female Children's Python.

[astronut (John)]

Every since I was a kid, anything to do with space, astronomy. I would (and still do) talk about it all the time...hence my screen name.

Every time I try to sign up to a new site I get it too! It's lucky we now don't have the same user name.

[Exfso (Peter)]

Mine is just a combination of the Egyptian God of the dead, Osiris and the sun god Ra.

I used to just use Osiris but after a while it became to popular with a band using it as well as tons of other companys with even a line of Skate shoes.
