  • This was a new username I made up because I didn't want any of my family to spot me on the weddings board as they didn't know I was getting married and only found out after the event!
  • Mine was because my oh says I have a big bottom, so back end of a bus - busiscoming! the number 2 because quite often you need a number in a password/username!

    I'd originally tried to register under a couple of other names but they'd already been taken, and was idly staring out of the window into the garden seeking inspiration when I noticed that that a couple of primroses were in flower so ..............
    Just as well I didn't see a big slug wandering across the patio or I might have ended up being called something very different.:rotfl:

    Wolves are my absolute favourite animals, and I'm disabled, can't walk without assistance.

    For a final touch of irony, the illness I have is called "lupus".:o
    If your dog thinks you're the best, don't seek a second opinion.;)

    cos I'm welsh but not welsh speaking - but even i know it should be Ddraig Tan
    Ddraig means dragon - I love dragons and cant stand that st george bloke (sorry english peeps - but people who slay poor defenseless dragons shouldnt be sainted!!)
    Tan means fire - and I am quite fiery!
    I also wanted a name that was genderless..........for reasons i wont go into here.
    DdraigTan is a bit unweildy so i turned it around dropped one D and liked the sound of it! I use it on quite a lot of sites and have an email addy to go with it.

    ...Oh my head!
  • Mine's not too hard to understand, although thankfully things are much better than when I first registered. I do often wonder how some people choose their names & some stick in my head, I guess because I see them on here lots. So hello to Doozer_girl, Princess Woo, Errata, bylromarha & mrcow (who is definitely a ms cow!) :beer:
