        I've used some letters from my first name, but I'm not prepared to put that on open forum Nick. PM only if you'd like. :)

          Mine is from when I was playing bingo online and tried about 56 others before this one came up as available. After THAT much effort I decided to keep it. Oh, I like cats too, if you can't tell.

            I would never have guessed that from your FB page.

                Jungle Jane used to be the my business name when I was a gardener and had a love of exotic plants. Pretty much stuck with the name on forums, even though I gave it up in 2006.

                Jane isn't even my real name, but feel it suits me better.

                        A bit of a play on the words "Noah's Ark", Naylor is my surname and we keep lots of animals.:)

                            Rusty as that's what everyone calls me instead of Russell and roots as it kind of rolls off the tongue and its to do with gardening.
