Should I change my username?

[The Great Cornholio]

Time for a bit of spam of my own! I've just managed to get my company to pay for a second Open University course next year which will take me up to 90 points - 120 points is the equivalent of full time study! This will mean a curtailment of my 'legendary in my own lunchtime" games which will forever be associated with "The Great Cornholio"

As many of my 3500+ posts have been game related, I feel it may be time for a change to reflect my more peripheral role. So, simple question - should I change? And if so, what to.

I quite fancy continuing the cartoon theme. I particularly fancy "I Am Weasel!" or "Comic Book Guy". Maybe "Buttmunch" to keep the B&B theme going. Or maybe something surreal like "Adam Virgo's toothpick" Other (cleanish) suggestions will be considered.

Are you threatening me?

I need TP for my bung-hole.

Keep the name - makes me laugh.

If "I couldn't give a rat's arse" wins - as seems likely - do you promise to use it?

 

[Bob!]

I couldn't give a rat's arse

I couldn't give a rat's arse

and I do hope that if this wins in the poll it is what he changes his user name to.

Will give all of us a good idea of what we think of the post inside.

If it is the will of the people then I'll have to.

what course are they paying for?

what course are they paying for?

I'm taking a BSc in Computing & Information. Over £1000 worth - I'll screw them for every penny before they outsource us in a couple of years! 10 days Study Leave as well.

The downside is approx 24 hours studying a week. Oh well, lot's of quiet periods at work.

What an attention seeker you are

Who cares what you call yourself?

Rat's Arse it is then!

 

[Albion Dan]

"Attention Seeker" or "Look at me" would both be rather apt!

There was me thinking this was a light hearted discussion board. Oh well, back to threads about the state of local transport then.

I was doing that befoire I started working in London

T102 Technology A Foundation Course ( I know all about Combined Power and Heat Power Stations)

60 Points Good Pass

t2xx Communicating Technology

60 Points Good Pass

Trouble is I had to give it up as i have no time to study, what with working in London. I thought I could work on the train but I just can't.

May still take something else...Squiggsy lent me his Music Course...that is very good level 2 course (60 points)

I've already done a 30 point course which was very easy for someone with 15 years IT experience. I'm a bit worried I'm bitten off more I can chew but I'm determined to get as much out of them before I'm outsourced. I've also signed up for a 10 point short course on The Planets which should be interesting.

Anyway, I'll draw a veil over this thread. It was an interesting if ultimately doomed experiment. Just thought I'd see what would happen if someone who wasn't a kid started a blatantly self promoting thread. I thought the words "Time for a bit of spam of my own" would have given the game away, irony wise.

Still, it made a few people show their true colours and has inadvertantly provided a new username.

OK - The deed is done. It started as a wind up thread but the name seems to fit some of the responses.

PS - I know I am missing an apostrophe but this was the maximum length allowed.
