Title: Whats Behind Your Forum Name?
Post by: mvb12 on September 12, 2013, 12:57:11 pm
Would be rude not to start it off..

MVB is mine and the Mrs inititals which also is the short form name of our company. the 12 was added as MVB was too short.

Sorry, nothing sinister behind it at all  :booty:

After meeting a few folk on here and hearing the background of some usernames  :grin: was just pondeing if others would like to
share with us all?

Mines ironic  :signLOL:

Had been on here a while before I joined and there was a thread of people putting up pictures of themselves and reading through it saw a pic of bigAl and a few people were joking saying they expected someone a little bigger   :laugh:

So as a result I thought I'd choose Little_Dave as I'm 6'8"  :booty:

When I was at school my class had 5 Ben's in it so when the teacher called our names it would be Ben followed by the first letter of our surname. Mine starts with D so when the teacher called out my name it would sound like 'Bendy'. My friends still call me it now.

Think Red Robbin thought it was something naughty :grin:

When I owned my Mk2 GTi years back my dear old Mum used to call it 'Bernhard'.
After the golfer Bernhard Langer. Think as both are German perhaps??
So since 2007 she again calls my car by that name. It's an Ed30.
Hence the name and number.

The first forum I joined was an AV Forum and I worked for Bang & Olufsen (B&O) at the time......one was to long and one was to short so I improvised and came up with BIANO and 4 is my favourite number hence the 44 at the end (double the luck maybe?)

I have found a number plate I like that nearly matches, B14NO X; I've even had one made to see what it looks like on the car but I can't decide if good or gash?! :confused:.

We have a pet Steiff stuffed turtle called Andrew. He's a bit of a rogue/scumbag but has bags of character and we love him. My gf speaks a few languages, one of which is Portuguese and 'tortaruga' is Portuguese for turtle. I know it makes no sense whatsoever :confused:.

When you say stuffed turtle, does that mean it died but you couldn't let it go  :sad1: so had it stuffed!. Surely all the stuffing would get wet and smelly when you take it for a fake recreational swim.  :innocent:
