    Am I alone in enjoying being a Super Geek?

    Geekiness is something to aspire to!
    Nah you're definitely not alone - I've always aspired to be a geek, but now, I'm not just an ordinary geek, oh no... I'm a supergeek, w00t! :j :D

    Maybe they should be "super eeks"?

    (ok, I'll get me coat...:rolleyes: )

    No don't get your coat that is coz I think it's quite clever :T :D
    You should never call somebody else a nerd or geek because everybody (even YOU !!!) is an
    "anorak" about something whether it's trains, computers, football, shoes or celebs :p :rotfl:

    I never even noticed the names had changed till I read this thread!
    it's silly-I just said to a man with no legs, "oh I bet you could kick yourself!:o " luckily he wasn't offended!
    too much political correctness going on these days!

    Why is a person that handles your money called a broker?!:confused:

    I think the names should reflect the fact we are here to save money ultimately - not become nerdy.

    They could have then gone on with fabulously frugal moneysaver, super savvy moneysaver, etc. for example.

    I think your name suggestions are great! :T Although I have to admit I hadn't noticed the name changes until I read this thread so I don't suppose it's a major issue.

    I would prefer your ideas though. Shame there wasn't a forum vote on the new names. :o
