    Re: Why did you choose the UserName you have on here?

    I chose Gunslinger because I was reading the dark Tower series by Steven King and the main character is the gunslinger. At the moment I'm on the Right Stuff by Tom Wolfe, a brilliant book.

    It was my login name (first letter of Christian name + Surname) on the first computer account I had (on a CDC Cyber).

    Best wishes,

    Re: Why did you choose the UserName you have on here?

    Mine's the same ID I use on eBay; being an honest soul I took the view that I didn`t need to hide behind different titles, although I don`t do much selling these days.

    I was nicknamed 'wek' at school many years ago, my surname is Walker and I was born in 1958, hence 'walkerwek1958'.

    Re: Why did you choose the UserName you have on here?

    First time I signed up on a forum was to post about some climbing gear left up on a route on Stob Corie Nan Lochan. This was after me and my brother had a bit of an epic winter climb and needed to abb back down in a hurry in the dark. Hence registered as "Lostgear" and have been using it ever since.

    ps It now sounds like I sell merchandise from a some TV Show :shock: , but I was there first I tell you :D

    I saw an episode of the Simpsons where homer and marge went to a romantic hotel for the weekend. Homer was a greek god named homercules - When it was time to decide a internet-nickname I referred to him as homerus, and I was too lazy to correct my mistake...

    My full name is Mark Eugene Goodman so MarkEg is what I have used on all the forums I have visited.

    The E is from my grandfather who was called Eugene Goodman - he used to make motorbikes.
