    Oh, OK. My "call sign" in the RAF was usually, "Hey, Chiefy , this so and so radar's playing up again!!" so I didn't think that was appropriate. So after trying several names, all taken, I resorted to the name of my favourite Clematis and that was accepted. Boring!!!:D:rolleyespink:

      Just in case some of you didn't read comics and don't know what scrunging is:

      Now I'm retired and don't have to wear a suit/look the part any more, I can (and do) 'morph' (scrunge) into whatever I want to be.

        Mine's easy - I'm Mum to 3 young women who were once little girls and, as we all know, small children can't stay still and thus they became collectively known as 'The Fidgets' (in fact, they're still quite often referred to thus!).

            My surname plus 'ark' because we seem to be collecting quite a few different animals.

                  I was given the name in err 1962 Royal Navy

                  You do not pick your nickname you eventually get one from fellow mates DUE to actions in your life
                  ie If you are sick a lot after drinking and your name is Smith
                  You become SPEWY SMIF Instead of the regular SMUDGE SMIF, OR Bungy Williams etc

                  So I must have been old in my ways when young :-)
                  Had it for 49yrs now so quite attached to it, in fact I have forgotten my real name now
