spikeymike 22-11-2002, 11:52 AM Got a question for some of you... it's not symbian related at all, but hey, what else is the waffle board for? :-)
I was interested in how some of you came up with your usernames.... some of them are obvious, like 7650Dude or similar, but some are a bit out of the ordinary. Most of them are guessable, but I'm curious to know if I'm right. So, if you feel like adding to thread, let us all know what your username/avatar /really/ means to you...
the_grey... i'm expecting you're a Gandalf-a-like? If so, are you going to sign up as the_white in a few weeks? ;-)
JToTheIzzo... V to tha izz-a? I'm guessing Jordan has something to do with it to...

Sam The Sheep Lover
(thats another and long story to explain here...)

spikeymike 22-11-2002, 02:25 PM SpecialBoy.... hmm.... let me guess... you are trying to subtley reveal to the telephonic elite of the world (ie us 7650 owners) that you are in fact a young guy which extraordinary powers, soon to reveal himself as a fully-fledged super-powered crime fighter?

Oh, c'mon, with that little intro, you gotta tell the story. I'm really hoping it's not a racial slur on the Welsh...
Oh yeah, to quote Johnny Lee Miller (love, honour and obey):

No, In fact I am really a special person afterall (according to my friends and personal native skills)
I use this as a NickName on the Internet (but I am not a special internet user) :fadein:
SwitchBlade 22-11-2002, 04:18 PM It all started many years ago when I started fiddling with coding and music and took on the monica DjS, a few years ago I found the name was taken by some muppet dj who played garage of all things. I then changed to Flips!de only to discover that 6 months later there was a Flipside doing old skool and hardcore up London way. So on my quest for a new name I stumbled across an old 80s band called Strawberry Switchblade (not so much stumbled, more went through my record collection), and decided that SwitchBlade sounded quite good for a nick, both djing, producing, and coding.

Yeah, I saw that movie. I love the conversations between Ghost Dog and the French dude...
GD: "I gotta run, just gotta go downtown and take care of some business downtown"
FD: "Je vous devine mieux aille, vous dois avoir quelques affaires pour prendre soin du centre ville."
<subtitle: I guess you better be going, you must have some business to take care of downtown.>
Sweeeeeeeeeeet!

TANKERx 22-11-2002, 08:26 PM The Whoopdangler was going to take over the world from his base in Gorseinon College under his super secret name, TANKERx.
However, he had too many assignments to do and decided not to bother.

Cassius 22-11-2002, 10:41 PM Mine comes from the French funky house duo Cassius. I really enjoy the french house scene :D
upponalle 23-11-2002, 09:27 AM Upponalle comes from a Finnish children tale. Nalle means bear in Finnish children language, so Upponalle = Uppo (the) Bear. The books are rather popular here in Finland.
I don't really know why I picked just that name, at least our daughter likes to listen to the stories and for some reason the first student dormitory I lived in was as well called Upponalle...
TheSpecialBoy 23-11-2002, 11:00 AM Got a question for some of you... it's not symbian related at all, but hey, what else is the waffle board for? :-)
Yeah Spikeymike, great Ideea....
I guess sharing something obout us-and niknames- improves the friendly-ness and gets this community stronger than never.

Same here man! Mine has absolutley NOTHING, i say NOTHING to do with my avatar, (on the left) or my rank (on the left middle) or my name (left top) or by any chance, by this : )

:roll: Hmmm... so i guess your avatar is actually a bear in a piggy suit??? or a piggy looking bear??? ;)
upponalle 24-11-2002, 07:49 PM The pig and the bear are actually not related to eachother (other than that they are both Finnish).
But following your idea, it is rather a bear in piggy suit (nice disguise :D )

I hate to introduce my ignorance but what does "Te creavit Dazler mirabilem, Te respexit ancillam humilem" mean? My latin is a bit rusty :roll:

Dazler 25-11-2002, 12:15 AM I've got it from a bible ... forgot the meaning ... looked it up again ... forgot again :oops:
I remeber the second translation to be something in the meaning of: " I (Dazler) accept you as my virgin maid" :]

When you stop smoking, do you just stop once? Without going fewer and fewer ciggerates? Or what :-? ?
It's not me, but my friend smokes, and i'm getting him outta there! (i think i can't until the will comes from him, not me..)
seanmiguel 26-11-2002, 10:33 AM seanmiguel: it's very close to a popular beer brandname here in Manila - i think it's popularity reached some parts of Asia and Europe as well (not sure though) - SAN MIGUEL. 8)

Yep... good old San Miguel!
ashby 26-11-2002, 12:37 PM San Miguel, the Brits favourite beer whilst holidaying in Spain
Last time I was in Ibiza, I saw a bloke who was heavily sun burnt. I told him that he needed some sun screen, he replied in a strong northern British accent
“Don’t worry laddy, I use Factor San Miguel”
he then poured a whole bottle over his head.
spikeymike 26-11-2002, 02:01 PM The reputation we have abroad is undesirable, to say the least. May I take this oppurtunity to apologise to the people in live in places like Tenerife, Malaga etc for the behaviour of all of the young (usually male) Brits who can't handle their alcohol. We're not all like that, I promise!
Rear_Admiral 26-11-2002, 03:13 PM The beer San Miguel is often referred to as San Mismell (No offense)
Dazler 26-11-2002, 06:12 PM Rear Admiral were can I buy your keyboard? ;)

btw how did u quit muffy?
i find it extremely difficult to quit even wif those damn patches
MaleBuffy 12-12-2002, 09:01 AM Easy...
first rule of quitting: YOU REALY HAVE TO WANT TO QUIT
second rule of quitting: YOU REALY HAVE TO WANT TO QUIT
Here in the UK a pack of cigarettes are £4.50 which is apox. Euro/$ 7.50
where in Greece they are Euro/$ 2.30 last time I checked!
Scenario 1:
So what I did is I didnt bring cigarettes from Greece with me, so that I would think twice to buy a apck in the UK. Note: that I WANTED TO QUIT.
Scenario 2:
Play naked in the snow, go ice scating with your t-shirt all wet. You are going to get sick, ill whatever. Usually u stop smoking for a week to get better, then its easy dont start.....again YOU HAVE TO WANT TO QUIT
Hope that helps!
kobe24 12-12-2002, 09:04 AM Rather smoke than go play naked in the snow. :D
J2theIZZO 12-12-2002, 09:22 AM lol!!, me too!
I smoke Embassy No.1 and I always have done, I WANT to stop but as I've said before, I maybe could, but I can't imagine a cigarette without a pint of Stella. :o
And as I spend quite a large amount of time in the pub, then I can't see this happening.
Now where's Switchblade with his signature ;)
GhostDog 12-12-2002, 12:58 PM Here the cigarettes are really cheap,marlboro regular is 1.2 euros.
By the way,i dont smoke :D
simeonbubblegum 12-12-2002, 09:53 PM
TheSpecialBoy 13-12-2002, 12:02 AM I smoke Parliament 100`s too. Also liked Davidoff Magnum.
Here you can buy Marlboro, Kent...At 0.7 Eur. Really.
I will quit smoking next year. ;) :fadein: :roll:
kobe24 13-12-2002, 02:08 AM Me, I always quit after a cigarette. Without me knowing, I'm buying a new pack...
:D
seanmiguel 13-12-2002, 06:43 AM here, here! Parliament rocks! i used to smoke that a lot when i was in college at La Salle! back then, i didnt have to work for money - i just ask! since im breaking my bones for money now, like i said i switched to Winston Reds. 8)
Ultimately, my deadline for quitting is when i have my first child - then i'd stop. and im not planning to have one in the next 2-3 years. :D

hianhwee 17-01-2003, 02:30 PM :D :D :D your threads made me laugh! First about names then smoking. Cannot relate these together!.... :agrue:
Ok, hianhwee is my real name... this name (or some call it handler has been used across various forums in www.ppcsg.com; www.spug.net; etc) It is easier and till date nobody has the same name as me (must thank my father and mom for... kekkeke).
Next, $moking... I started I was 15 and stopped immediately when I was 16. That time, I usually smoke More Slims. 12 months ago, I picked up smoking again, trying VirginaSlims, Davidoff little cigars and MildSeven.
As for now, I have NOT pick any stick since October last year. Even I going to clubs, I try not to smoke (if possible... ) or the most one stick since all my party-animals friends are smokers and I don't want to appear rude. (hmmm, hianhwee... excuse excuse! :black: )

Jadeviper - this was the password that came with my very first (Geoshitties) domain back in '96 and I liked it.
My avatar I edited from another to make it look a bit more like me (paler skin, longer, redder hair, bigger breasts, blue eyes and the Saltire in the background - it's not entirely accurate as I didn't add extra chins ;) )
