Fenlander is very simple, I live on the edge of and spend as much (even though it is very little) time in the beautiful fens of Cambridgeshire and Norfolk. Never makes up for the hills of my playground of 40 odd years, the Peak District which I miss so much. However, I normally use the name Paddy on forums, Patrick is my middle name and has been my nickname for years, nobody in the family and friends calls me Graham, seem odd to see it on here, Paddy must have been in use when I signed up..

While we are 'cleansing our souls', what about a Mug Shot page?

Ian is my name, M is from the surname. Got two Ians where I work, so I became Ian M the other one Ian S.

Simple as that really.

Mine stems from a mis-spent youth (in the music industry) and I'm leaving the rest up to you lot. It's irrelevant today but these things stick. Worse ones have stuck to some of my old mates!
