Apologies Schmunkee, I was a bit sharpish with swapping names.
Had a rethink, as I think the name should have associations. Since I'm ex-RN and a candidate for PSOF, what about Uncle Albert out of the Pirate Ship of only Fools and Horses.
If I can't even think of a silly name what hope is there for me elsewhere.
I'm watching the start of GNR on telly then I'm off for my 20 mile LSR in the wind and rain. Deep Joy.
This name changing thing is getting out of hand, you better hurry up or we will pick one and you don't want to end up like poor old "i got given this silly nickname because i kept changing my one" or IGGTSNBIKCMO to his mates.....
I don't like to talk about how I got my name, its still a sore subject! But Trogs, Dustboy, Ditchy, Hnney and Kanga were the main culprits! Can't remember which thread it was in, but like Dustboy says, it started with AliAird to Aliodelai (yodelling style) to Gladiloli to Gladys before I had any say!
I like Uncle Albert.
PS Obadiah was a great character, loved his twitch!
Les boules .... you'll have to do better than that!!!
Pretty unpolite of me! Well, I am female, and have been doing triathlons for about a year. Sprints mostly, but did my first half ironman in Ireland recently. What draws me in, is that PSOF doesn't appear to take itself too seriously. Whilst triathlon training is serious business, PSOF also embraces the fun and funny and seemingly rather insane as well, and still churns out people who enjoy and succeed in triathlons, whether they finish or not. A friend of mine who is a top age grouper recently gave me some advice about how to conduct one's self in a triathlon, which was essentially as a triathlon tyrant, weakening opponents with steeley death stare and war growl. And above all, don't talk to anyone, heaven forbid. After suppressing an eye roll, I set on a quest in search of like-minded triathletes, who also fancy some banter and laughs as part of the whole triathlon experience. Lea the Pea told me about PSOF (here's hoping a spot of name dropping might help me out) and particularly the award-winning 'mince off' post Regensburg IM. That sounds even better than the IM itself. My next goal is the Outlaw 2012 which I see is a massive event for the pirates. My (lack of) experience, frequent apathy, and enjoyment of all things silly hopefully will help consider me for membership.

Gladys doth protest too much.
I believe you only have yourself to blame. Unless someone hacked your account and changed your name... Hmmmmm??
