    mine is because when i first got on the t internet, i was setting up an email account and was slightly squiffy and spelt paprika wrong....

    but kept my name as is because it's different, and i keep getting asked do i know what paparika means in other languages, apparently although i can't remember which one, it means small willy
    Life is about give and take, if you can't give why should you take?

    Our DD had beautiful Palomino pony called Spirit and her name was perfect for her.

    Although I am definitely of a more earthly form.

    Its a play on words; like British Rail.

    I'm British + I'm a big Genesis fan. Rael, was a character in the double concept album 'The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway'.

    So, BritRael :)

    As an aside, what happens on this forum if somebody suddenly decides they hate their original pseudonym and want to reregister under a new identity. Do they keep all their posting "medals" or have to go back to scratch and earn them all again?
