    Ladymuck was the very first email address I had and for some reason people always found it amusing when I told them it. (Can't think why, I think I'm charming!). I can't remember why I chose it, probably some delusion of grandeur I was under at the time.

    I generally use this or FluffyMitten - this one was born out of a bored Friday afternoon in the office making up domain names and seeing if anyone had registered them. FluffyMitten was one of many random firings. I get a mixed reaction to it, most people think it's rude!

    My sincerest apologies FG
    I humbly beg forgiveness.
    It was getting a bit ridiculous on here though.
    I started using another board most of the time.
    Although I too have been guilty of pushing the boundaries a bit myself in my weaker moments.
    Back to tpd

    FG I seem to remember that you were partly responsible for them stopping it

    Mine is an old nickname from a period about 8 years ago when I was losing the plot big time.

    Online, I way overdo the forced calmness bit but it is no good - the rant grows stronger. Soon it will take control an it will all go horribly wrong again.

    My username comes from a combination of sources.

    First of all, I'm originally from Fortune Green in NW London. Second, I'm now based in the US where I'm hoping to make my fortune in greenbacks, although that plan isn't quite working out the way I'd hoped.

    Because, there is some Chinese blood in my ancestry, my avatar is the Chinese character for the word Fortune, and it's green.
    Does this mean you're back, FG? Two posts in a day

    Not sure about my username, but my new avatar is the result of an experiment that went pear-shaped. I tried to download a sexy animated gif, but failed because it was too large (only a measly 100 Kbytes). Then I tried reloading my old goggle-eyed Marty Feldman avatar, but that was rejected because animated gifs are no longer allowed .

    So now instead of a sexy wobbly-tit avatar, you'll all have to make do with a scowling mugshot of Colonel Robert "Tin Eye" Stephens for the rest of time, and the CUK site owners are entirely to blame
