    I could go on and on forever, in fact most shows even today use it but unfortunately the art is a lot more in your face and leaves a lot less to the imagination. Case in point - Two and Half Men.

    Anyway don't feel bad if my user name conjures up images in your mind, its meant too, however I assure you I do wear nice clothes

        Mine is a play on a bad nickname/tag I used to have in highschool. My gimmick in highschool (everyone in highschool needs a gimmick) was that I was the big guy who felt no pain hence the "immortal". Since then it has sort of just stuck throughout my uni days and so on, unfortunately the toughness of youth has not . Oh dear, reading that back I think I'm washed up at 26 .

          With todays over correctiveness I never thought they would be aloud to show Love Thy Neighbor on TV again.
          But the other night Seven Mate had a episode on.
          Still brilliant.

            If Eddie was the ultimate racist, why does he spend most of his life in the pub getting pissed with Bill?

                Love thy neighbor was my favourite. So politically incorrect, they could not show it these days. I bought mum 3 series of mind your language last year.

Back on topic, desipura was a name of a horse about 20 years ago on 3uz with kevin Bartlett (was trying to listen in for some footy talk) should be spelt dessipuera, spelt backwards are u pissed. I do not know why I chose it as I do not even gamble on the horses and have zero interest in them. I guess I was young and immature and thought it was quiet interesting that the name had gone through. I would like to change it, I'm not sure what to though.

                      My name came from the fact that as an almost nine year old I was lucky enough to go to the 1954 grandfinal.Unfortunatly the thing I remember most about the game was the fact that I wached it sitting on the ground between the fence and boundry line.In1961 I watched Brendan Edwards win it for the hawks from the Northern stand.Well I was in the stand he was everywhere on the ground it seemed.Hence cnmin2 am now waiting to change to cnmin3+++.

I decided his name was different enough so picked that. About 6 months after I chose the name Spurs sold him to Seville and he went on to score a few goals against Spurs in last years UEFA Cup quarters......
                        I wish you hadn't reminded me of that. I too am a big Spurs fan.

                        My username comes from my early childhood and nothing football related. My paternal grandfather was a member of the Druid's Society and sometimes would have fellow members over for informal get-togethers. When this happened, everyone else would have to make themselves scarce. My Nan would chastise my brother and I for dawdling as we got ready to leave by saying, "Hurry now, the Druids will be here any moment!". I would look at her and exclaim in reply, "Da' Druids?!!" with a mixture of awe and amazement whilst suddenly finding another yard of pace. Hard to believe, but I actually had a speech impediment until my teens.

                          My username is my real life nickname. Which is of course just a shortening of my given name. Therefore, Angus becomes Gus.

                          I was Tillerific, which was just a bloody awful play on words.
