Usernames, we all have and use them. Some are obvious, some not so. If yours is one that is quite different or just basic, what was the thinking behind it.

My great-great uncle was James Edwards Bagshaw, Town goalkeeper in 1898-99 who kept goal during the record 9-2 win against Darwen in April 1899.

I live in Newport on the Isle of Wight and I used to drink in all the local pubs and wear various Items of Grimsby Town clothing and take the urine out of any Newport Pompey fans(still do) and now they all refer to me as Mr Grimsby.

When I first tried to join the old Fishy the first two tries yeilded that it was too close to usernames already registered so I used this one in sheer frustration. It stems from the old boys organisation from where I went to school (an obscure part of Norfolk) and I just happened to have a letter from them in my hand when trying to register.
history lessen, the Iceni tribe inhabited parts of Norfolk and revolted against the Roman empire under their queen Boudicca.Obviously a member of the tribe is known as an Icenian.
Serving Queen and Country for 23 years. I joined this board soon after the end of an extremely undistinguished military career (apart from the 6 medals )
The wife was going away for a girly weekend. I jokingly remarked 'I don't know whether to spend it watching porn or watching football' 'you may as well spend it watching porn' she replied That's understanding darling what makes you say that? I asked
She said 'Well you already know how to play football'
My brother and I were photographed by the GET on towns last tour of Sweden holding a Fiver (cos that was what it cost us to get there by Ryan Air) The headline above the photo said "Brothers Grim do Sweden for a Fiver" - hence my username utm
When i first registered before the bald headed one came here,i didn't go to every match. So the semilapsed bit. I jumped on the season ticket bandwagon when i bought one for the whinging shearer match,and have had one ever since. If I could change my sig i would but i don't know how without loseing my history.
Serious sport has nothing to do with fair play. It is bound up with hatred,jealousy,boastfullness, disregard of all rules and a sadistic pleasure in witnessing violence; In other words it is war without the shooting.
I used to drive a Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme to away games...It was a bit different & never let me down.....I also owned a 1965 Olds Delta 88,that was not used for away games(7 litre)
I used to be 'Reverend' on the old Electronic Fishcake message board - someone had nicked the name for this board so I took the name of two of male private Emery's greatest drag act characters - as you do. I should add I'm neither a vicar or a transvestite. But I am a Town fan and proud of it.

Not complicated really.
Those were the days, my friend, We took the Stretford End, We took the Kop, the Kippax and the Shed, We lived the life we choose, We'd fight, we'd never lose, Those were the days, oh yes those were the days, Nah nah nah nah nah nah, Town!
No Mick, it's just that we're all now living through a nightmare.

Coley is a fish and I surf the internet. That is not the real reason for the name but it's the one I'm giving.
So here I am once more in the playground of the broken hearts One more experience, one more entry in a diary, self-penned Yet another emotional suicide overdosed on sentiment and pride Too late to say I love you, too late to re-stage the play Abandoning the relics in my playground of yesterday
Erm, left Barnetby, went to university, eventually got a job in Leeds, lived in Headingley, stayed in West Leeds for six years, left, and now my name is obsolete. Never choose a geographical name...
Mid-90's, couple of years after stating in Business Consulting, I was sent to a couple of our client sites to assess some of the consultants that had been employed, with a brief that we needed to lose a few. After a few sites, working with that same people, someone made the comment me turning up on site was like the Grim Reaper appearing, someone soon would be departing. Knowing I was a Grimsby fan, that quickly turned to being the GrimsbyReaper. And it has stuck ever since, my Fishcake ID, to the Fishy ID, to my photo site, and here to Australian European car forums (2nd passion after footy), which generally leads to the usual question 'Where is Grimsby?"
I thought I had seen the end of the world. Desolation, Isolation, Destruction, Mutants and the end of Civilisation. Turns out bloody Tom Tom had directed me through Scunthorpe City Centre.
I used to live in Gainsborough when I first joined the original fishy message board 9 years ago. I now live in Lincoln, but thought I'd keep the same name.

one evening at uni my mate asked me if I had watched league of gentlemen, I said no. So he showed me a clip on DVD and I laughed loads at it. Since then whenever I said excuse me it always came out excusebeef. Love this clip. Guess I wanted a username with somet different
I once had the temerity to question the benefits of immigration, many moons ago and was slammed by left-wing zealots for even broaching the subject.
Such was the ferocity of their cyber-assault (they'd never dare say it to my face) I decided to call myself Aryan_imp, knowing that my mere presence wound them up .... and to this day, they still don't disappoint me
OLD FOOTBALLER Says it all I suppose I am an old footballer.
I really enjoyed it when I first came on here under another name and people were trying to work out who I was.
I have to admit it is really good fun at times on the Fishy, alright you get a few dip sticks, but I always admire people who have opinions and put it across in a dignified manner, especially if they actually go to the games. OLDFOOTBALLER

I feel quite humbled by the response. I also feel a togetherness in what we are all suffering at the moment.

I was at an AFL game in Adelaide wearing a Town top and well known Aboriginal celebrity, Johnny Haysman came up, pointed and said "malkamalka" which he explained is the aboriginal word for stripes.
"Knowledge speaks, but wisdom listens." (Jimi Hendrix)
Mine because I used to play an online game called CoD2 a couple of years back, I used to play matches in online leagues etc and I was pretty good but had a tendancy to get nervous when I was the last player left alive in a particular round as everyone else on your team is watching you and talking in VoiP (ts/vent) which put me off!!!! I then had a tendancy to start shivering and missing easy shots which I of course blamed on the shivering but they never believed me so I changed nick to 'Shiver' as a bt of a joke!
Before I moved to Scotland in 1991 I got my old mate Cappo to take me up to the top of the dock tower - a moving experience (especially in my bowels)
No attempt at ethical or social seduction can eradicate from my heart a deep burning hatred of the Tory party. So far as I'm concerned they're lower than vermin. Aneurin Bevan.
because they where my favorite nut at xmas ...the only time we got them as a kid ...andi one christmas years ago my eldest brother got an AM CB radio (the illegalone) and when i went on it i needed a "handle"....so for some reason ...maybe i was eating one at the time i chose Brazilnut .....it was a mare of a name as the Z in the name never seem to come over the airwaves clearly ......anyway after many years of no CB and i needed a username .....

Sometimes the world is just too cruel to have funny things at the bottom of your post !!!
Another boring one - I live in Cairns, Queensland.
Just seen in the ebay ad at the bottom of my screen a programme from the WBA vs Town game from the early 80s. Was at that game and still (like the saddo that I am) have that very programme in a box in my garage. Think we lost 3-0 to a side featuring Bryan Robson. The programme has a feature on the new executive boxes at The Hawthornes - a new development in football grounds back then!
There's a crooked street in Grimsby Town It's a well worn path I've travelled down Now there's ruin in my name, I wish i'd never got off the train And I wish I'd listened to the words you said.... ...Don't go down to Freeman Street Don't go down to Freeman Street You'll be lost and never found You can never turn around Don't go down to Freeman Street
Garth from the Mirror was always my idea of a man that I strove to be and failed, still in the next life
i like that - I sometimes forget where i am and describe my dad (a docker for many years) as having arms like Garth. Nobody here knows what the hell I'm talking about.

If you've ever lived in the GY/Cleethorpes area, chances are you'll have seen this graffiti artist name about, somewhere.
I'm not the graffiti artist though, just needed a name to register with and this is the only one i could think of at the time.
yep,iv'e seen this "tag" all over starting way back in the 1970s,not sure i would describe his as an "artist" though mate, true graffiti art is the stuff sprayed on the wall in ainslie street park,and in the old subways in town in the 70s/80s. iv'e been into hip-hop and rap for a while now and graffiti was a big part of it,oh the memories of happier times eh?i wonder if this doc/ock guy is still alive? it would be great to meet him,what a legend.
irony................its a bit like brassy,only made from iron! (baldrick,blackadder)

I'll help you out....SNOOZE is Swahili for "I know absolutely nothing about football" and I thought it summed me up very well so was an obvious username.
I have an inferiority complex-It's not a very good one though.

i thought that was actually Newell......i could maybe have confused it with Zimbabwian though.
Because my name is Dave and I've got a very big tackle
actually its because I'm 'abit' fat but we can be whoever we want on the internet can't we?
I used to have a Town shirt (when we were sponsored by Jarvis and our shirts were made by fruit of the loom or someone), with Big Dave on the back. I stepped out of the car when we were away at Donny in the cup (Terry Flemming got sent off I seem to recall), and literally 10 seconds across the car park, some Donny fans started chanting Big Dave is a male masturbator. cheers for that

Was self explanatory, but now live in Sydney, New South Wales. And also as others have said, I don't know how to change my name either without losing everything.

Rather boringly I created this just before....yes you guessed it....the millenium and dived in there before anyone else did expecting a mad rush!!! Would like to change it to something more inventive but looks like thats an imposibility. Maybe it's something GRIMROB can explain or sort out!!!
My surname is Brown, and as Civvy will confirm, in the military 24hour ration packs of the good old days, THE best thing out of them were the biscuits, Brown (combined with the pate of course!) My nickname was Biscuits but it got shortened to Biccys.

I actually created this username years ago on the old fishy when Austin Mitchell changed his name to Austin Haddock. (I don't eat haddock by the way, I'm vegan).
