    Well, I'm "On_it" on a certain other forum - basically cos a mate of mine once introduced me to someone by saying "he's always on it" with reference to my alcohol consumption levels.

    Now I'm a bit older (and wiser) and the old alcohol intake has dropped a bit - just a tad - and as I'm not posting "on" the other forum I thought I would add a witty and intelligent twist to my original moniker. Obviously couldn't think of one though!!!

    Mine dates back to an away game at Crewe the year we came up as champions, although we won 2-0 their fans never stopped singing "Dario Gradi is a football genius". So me and a few mates started calling our since departed manager Curbishley Football Genius. Netaddicks needs four letters digits and at first I was CFG_, until it stopped working then I became CFGS.

    Sad, that is what I am

    A woman who I used to work with a long time ago thought my name was Arthur for what reason I do not know. One of the lads at my work kept calling me it and then my mates picked up on it and I have had the nickname for about 17 years now. It is like 2nd nature. My wife even uses it when amongst the lads as well.

    Now changed to Ledge - short for knowledge which has been my life for past 3 years.

    Because MCS is a spastic and started calling me mortain, which is similar to my surname.

    I don't know why, but when signing up for na LoOkHerE just had a nice ring to it and I added the alternating capitals, just for visual effect, but something went wrong on sign up and it came out as above (Should have been LoOkHeRe). Just changed it to LoOkOuT for something just a little different.

    For a brief time I created a new user on na, because LoOkHerE had been cloned by someone (Lo0kHerE) called East_Stand_Sit_Dan but that was short lived.

    I think I've mentioned it before, but it is not necessary, for those who care about such things, to have names with hyphens and underscores etc unless they are wanted, as usernames on this board can have spaces. And you can change your username too, if you've made a mistake or want to add a space between words etc. under Account/Forum Preferences. Changes will be reflected all the way through your history on the board, so that every comment ever added will be changed to your new username.

    I'll admit Carling blokes do hug each other at these parties, got nothing to do with any of them being gay though..!

    Felt a bit out on my own so I've reverted to my old pen name.

    When I first started writing for a Charlton Fanzine (Remember, Remember) I needed a pen name and so picked Henry Irving. Charlton fans travelling away in London would met by or march past the Statue of Henry on the North Side of Traflaghar Square. From that came the chant "Henry, Henry Irving oo-oo" and hence the name.

    Always been a fan of the film Jungle Book, especially Balou the bear. He says in the song 'I wanna be like you' - "Hey man, I'm solid gone man......solidgone!" as he was taken with the beat then bursts into song.....with a rab bab bony.

    Yeah, I know this is sad but hey ho.

    It was a sitcom set in a garden centre. This was a 10 minute episode performed at the comedy pub. Eventually got a full half hour episode in a showcase at the soho theatre in front of the beeb and some other companies but got a polite thanks but no thanks.

    Dazzler came from Darrel -> Daz -> Dazzle -> Dazzler

    21, I see that number everywhere it must mean something and then Johansson scores or nearly scores a bicycle as no.21 That was when I went from Gordon no. 8 at School to Dazzler no.21 ( I was still in the first side before greg comes to belittle me)

    I stopped playing as much soon after and now play everyweek which is fun but I gotta get back into 11 a side!

    I thought it was quite witty. I've had the name since the netaddicks days and couldn't think of anything better, so have kept it going. Have been tempted to change to Bromley Addick to piss off a few people. :-)
