    I showed great imagination for my username! Another username I often use is Bonosfly, to keep the U2 fan in me happy :)
    Thanks to all posters!

    Fab thread. I did a similar one ages ago, but it's great to read about other peeps user names. Should defo keep it going, or redo now an then.

    For me: I'm Louise - hence Lulu, and a Chelsea fan, i.e. the Blues, so am Blulu. :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.
  • Mine's very unimaginative. I like the skull motif and my fav colour is purple. Also my husband drew me the picture in my avatar so it's handy to go with that :D

    May you all have lots of luck, Emma xx
  • I used to have the user name _tsunami_ many moons ago, then I added handmade to it as I'm a bit of a self-made disaster!

    I have handmadetsunami and handmadetsunami1 but each is associated with a different email address!
  • Until last month I owned a 78 year old Austin car - hence Austineer :-) - sold it to a chap in Germany, so now I guess I'm EX-Austineer ;-)
    Would LOVE to win:
    A hamper - any sort! A goody bag - any sort! A UK mini-break. A year's supply of something foodie. Anything Sci-Fi related
