[Albion] Explain Yourself

worthingseagull · Oct 1, 2024

There are quite a few unusual usernames on NSC, so I thought I would start a thread for people to explain why they have chosen their username (if they are happy to obviously).

The one that kicked this off for me was seeing Wellquickwoody all over the board - I'm guessing his surname might be Wood and he is (or was) rapid at running but am probably wrong

Obviously some are easily solvable so no need to provide guidance (like mine

)

Mine is a Sublime song. I am not a huge Sublime fan but the song is excelent and I like the name.

Sorry not very interesting.

Nickname I was given at uni in the 90s and the number I got given when I first played men’s sport when I was about 14. I was thrilled as I loved Michael Jordan and used that number ever since.

au contraire - would never have guessed, so perfect reply, thanks

Harry Wilson's tackle · Oct 1, 2024

Harry Wilson was an Albion player in the 70s. When I used to go to games with my dad, we stood on the East terrace. The old man picked on Wilson mercilessly. On the other hand I rather liked him, and I don't like bullying. I ended up watching games from the South stand and meeting up with the old man after the match. I could see him, up on the East terrace, in his red bobble hat, no doubt chuntering at HW.

So my user name is a nod to the great man, and his stoic indifference to the loan heckler.

Edit, oh and there is a nob gag in there as well. Never eschew a nob gag.

I play bass and I'm a basic man.

BBassic.

I thought it was terribly clever when I started using it in various places in my teenage years. Approaching my 40's it's just another indicator of how f***ing dumb I was as a teenager.

Radiohead or Hitchiker's Guide, take your pick!

I also tend to overthink my responses anytime I post on here, so that's pretty apt too...

Herr Tubthumper · Oct 1, 2024

I was originally Tubthumper, as the Chumbawumba song was popular at the time and it seemed to chime with me and the online persona I wanted to develop. I added the Teutonic twist when I first lived in the Fatherland back in 2007.

Was your dad borrowed from somewhere?

Was it Brian Powney who used to spend a lot of the match screaming "'Arry! 'Arry!"?

I was a big fan too. A real no-nonsense whole hearted defender. Happy days!

And "Rippleman" name given to me by my son because I like Ripples!

A reminder of a regular query from yesteryear once ticket sale dates were announced.

raymondo · Oct 1, 2024

Not hard to guess what my real name is...but when starting work in London, 1976 ish, Jimmy Young was a big Radio host with a slot of some recipe chipmunk voice.. . "What's the recipe today, Raymondo?".

I had quite a lengthy stint in the chicken run as a kid with my father and brother.

I wish I had not chosen my name actually now, Psychobilly freakout is a song by the Rev Horton Heat back released back 1990 on Subpop label.
The Rev was one of the first American Psychobilly bands and was good back in the day, he is now still good but has leanings towards a certain Mr Trump, I hate politics in music and walked out at the last concert several years ago when he started rambling on.

Is it possible to change your pseudo name ?

I much prefer my facebook name Insel Affe

Same place I started with my dad, about 1966

PILTDOWN MAN · Oct 1, 2024

Used to own a small holding where the Piltdown Man was “found”. Plus I’m old and fake.

Ask one of the mods and they will fix it for you. Maybe @Tom Bombadil can explain the form of words necessary to expedite the username change.
