    Mine originates from the early days of dial up and aol, was a young lad. Its my word for the sound when the !!!!! hits the pan (or water as is the case!)

    Sorry not a comper but was too enticed by the thread!

    Am sooooo laughing at this. Fab name and I remember (I think) the exact sound you mean. It would still make me shudder to hear it again. I associate it with 'the blue screen of death'. Anyone remember that?

    Lovely name stories folks - keep 'em coming :D
    I am brave, I am bruised
    I am who I'm meant to be
    I'm not scared to be seen
    I make no apology
    THIS IS ME!


    When you talk down to others it says more about you than them.
  • Unfortunately though Blu, the BSOD still exists. It's happened to my laptop a few times.. nothing major, but still makes me laugh :rotfl:

    And in my job, I have to call stores who have fax machines, and sometimes if they don't reach the phone in time the fax machine kicks in and makes that horrific dial-up sound very loudly in my ear :mad: :rotfl:
    Back to comping after a 3-year hiatus :j
  • I had my first name initial and surname when i first registered then once i started to get more active on mse i asked for it to be changed. It took me ages trying to come up with a username as the one I like to use Red Devil was already taken so in the end i decided on EnglishWelshie, English because i am English and Welshie because I live in Wales and i used to call my son my little EnglishWelsh boy when he started picking up the Welsh accent.

    facinating thread :T

    I played a character in an online game, so for 10 years in this game I was Kaelea (Kaylee) and I even answered to it in real life (how sad), I no longer play the game so I'm thinking of changing it, I just don't know what to :o
    A heap big thank you to everyone who posts the comps, your all stars!

    I've often wondered about some of the names I see here and would love to know what they're 'about'. For example, I'm Blulu:

    Real name: Louise - so Lulu.
    Chelsea (Blues) supporter - so Blulu

    Anyone else care to share?

    I like! bluesgirl for me as I'm also a Chelsea girl :).

    Great thread - good way of getting to know a bit more about every1!
  • Interesting thread seeing hwere everyones forum names originate. As for mine, I'll Tell You If You Buy Me A Beer :)

    I joined forever ago and all my fave names had been taken and as I have a really unusual name and did not want to be recognised I had to go for summat simple
    so my married name (price) not my name now as I am back to my maiden name which is Belgian.
    and as I was recently divorced at that time I was wavering between mrs and miss so missprice was born.
    bears absolutely no resemblance to my name now and I would love to change it but ya cant:)

  • My Real Name is Christina.

    The reason I have Short n Sweet is because I am 5 foot nothing tiny and people always comment on me being little...Sweet came from the fact I can be sweet (or love Sweets) although someone on here mentioned it should be Short n Nasty (thank you).
