Whats in a name?

[Gern]

Gern is the hapless assistant to Dil - master embalmer for the rulers of Djelibeybi (Lit: 'Child of the Djel') from Terry Pratchett's marvelous book 'Pyramids'.

It should have been Grinjer! He makes models of the things the rulers take into their pyramids for the afterlife. The kingdom decreed that models would be acceptable as they would magically transform into the real thing. And anyway, they could no longer afford the real things!

Muggins here picked the wrong name from memory. Just goes to show the value of proper research!

Mine is (as it sounds) due to the fact that I was back into modelling from a 7 year gap when I joined this site...

My name is taken from a B17-E Flying fortress that crashed in papua new guinea in the second world war.

"Swamp Ghost"was the name coined by articles and visitors to the wreck,its not its real name.

I started out here using the name Russell BUT since about 2005 I've used my real name which is Dingo, this name was given to me by my Father who back in the 50's & 60's was a Feral hunter in Australia shootng everything from feral cats and Dogs to Camels, Roos and Dingos when I was born he naturally named me Dingo coz according to him I looked like a small dog, I've worn this title evry since and on the odd occassion my Brother calls me little dog or just plain dogboy. So that's why I use Dingo coz it's my real name.

Dingo :cool2:

Hi all , just thought I would give this old thread a bit of a bump, seeing as Vaughans mug shot thread has been such a runaway success, as it kind of links in with putting a face to the name (which is sometimes a bit cryptic). I first posted this a few years ago , so have a look at the opening post to get the idea (its not rocket science though!!!) cheers tony

[spanner570]

Yo, mucker, I did mine first time round.....but here's a refresher. Spanner was the name of our first dog when the present Mrs. Ron and I married in 1970. The number is part of our telephone number.

I'll tell thee what though, I tried to get peeps to post their mugshots the same time as you did this, with very little success - then along comes the upstart Vaughan - and look what happens!!!!

There 'aint no justice.....

This will go well side by side with Vaughan's thread and nicely sew things up (intended poor pun!)

thanks for resurrecting it...

Cheers mate,

Ron

I was in the RAF and was posted out to RAF Bruggen. When I arrived and taken to my squadron barrack block the lads were watching National Lampoons Animal House. Another lad and myself were given names of characters out of it. My name is also Allyne so I'm known as flounder_al

tecdes.

My youngest son when young set up my first ever email account. Days of a Commodore 64 where you counted on fingers the memory that was being eaten into.

He took my business name of Stewart Technical Design. So he used tecdes I did not get a lookin or agree it. So it has stuck for numerous things. I now answer to tecdes amongst a few other things especially my two darn rude sons.
