I'm a big fan of The Fall, and one of their more well known songs is Mr Pharmacist, and that's what inspired my user name....

Louis is my old cat's name and some random numbers bolted on the back!

Very dull but hopefully not too easy to forget

Blame it on my parents

I wish we would all use our real names - It would be much less confusing for an old man - Mike Smith

It's always been my nickname as I'm short and always have been.
I'm now 5'6" if I stand up nice a straight.

Well I'm not called Mick, nor Cliff, but it must have gone along similar lines

I work in sales and I tend to not give out my surname..."please just send the enquiry to Anthony and it will find me" I say.

A chap from east London asked what my full name was for their files and when I told him "Anthony Fitz-Gibbon", his reply was "Christ, that is a gobfull!"

Fitz is a lot easier to cope with.

Having a name like Jon means if you try to use it on forums you inevitably end up will many different number combinations following the Jon. So I struck upon Jon at 127 the 127 is my house number and so far it has been unique everywhere I have tried to use it. Luckily I'm not planning on moving in the foreseeable future!

Mine simply acknowledges which side of the car my steering wheel is - not common in 914 circles, so it narrows me down to one of 10 or so....

If it were a proper one, I would probably have Crayford in there somewhere....

Plus, my name sucks, and I do blame my parents!

Burma-Shave · Post by **Burma-Shave** » Mon Apr 13, 2009 9:05 pm

Burma-Shave is a shave cream brand from the US from the 30s to the 50s. It was well known for being advertised along road sides. The song of the same name is by Tom Waits and describes a idealistic young couple who are running away to 'Burma Shave' - just following the signs, drinking and daring each other to overtake in their mustang. It doesnt end well..

Cheery, eh? I love miserable music, and this is one of the all time depressive greats.

RichiRich · Post by **RichiRich** » Tue Apr 14, 2009 8:15 am

Many years ago I was a used car salesman (dare I mention it), though I never had the opportunity to sell any Porsches.

Anyways, my boss was called Richard and it was getting a little confusing with two Richards on site (so he said) and started calling me Richie Rich. I'm not sure which of the original Richie Rich's he was referring to (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richie_Rich), but the Mcauley Culkin film wasn't out back then.

Many years later when I started to use the Internet, I couldn't think of a name and RichieRich was popular, so I just removed the 'e', which seemed to make it unique.
