Just curious lol, I'm a nosey person you see! :laugh:

Mine - well, I like the Nintendo Wii... my surname is Baxter...

I prefer Rice Krispies to Weetabix, but "RiiceyKrispyBaxter" or a variations wouldn't have worked lol.

I also use the name and have the nickname "Chewie" from "Chewbaxter" - Star Wars fan you see, and a school nickname!

:laugh:

So where does your username come from?

:smile:

    I have 3 godchildren and I live 10,000 miles away from them now. I had a very good godfather growing up and no contact with my godmother. I don't my godchildren to feel abandonned so I do my best to keep in contact with them through emails to their parents, Skype, instant messenger. phonecalls and cards and gifts in the mail.

    When I lived closer I would just turn up unexpectedly so my 1st god daughter said I was like the Fairy Godmother in kid's stories and I always turned up whenever she needed me. It's a sentimental name.

    Sooty - that lovable British puppet with friends Sweep and Sue and owner Michael.

    an inappropriate line from an Australian comedy group song - Sooty, the only bear in television to constantly be fist *effing* - Doug Anthony All Stars.

    May = my middle name.

    :D

    :laugh: when I was younger, my Mum used to call me 'Damian' and said I was an evil little so-and-so like the kid off 'The Omen'.

    Also, I had a nickname when I worked on the ward (I'm a Nurse by profession) - Columbo... a VERY bad habit when thinking of holding a hand to my temple the same way Peter Falk's character did... and I was notorious for forgetting things momentarily and coming back into a room and saying "one more thing..." :laugh:

    binary...because I am a geek and this is all 1's and 0's
