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 comingI 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!

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 :j0 -
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.0

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.

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

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:)63 mortgage payments to go.

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).Ask.. Believe.. Receive..
