Completely stolen from Quins and Hull boards but they are having some good threads on it so why not us.
Just explain why, without giving too much away if you like to remain anon on here.
(I assume I didn't miss the one where we already did this!?)

PopTart ironically was my nickname when I played rugby (Union!).
I don't drink....hence was drinking 'pop', and the other guys had nicknames like Shamu and Gay Toby so I figured I'd settle for this. It stuck.

Avatar of course is the Thing. I don't look unlike the guy who played him in the films and I can identify with the character in personality....so he is my avatar.

School nickname and my avatar is from Outrun, I stole it off another forum 'cos I thought it looked good!

my favourite starting hand in texas hold'em poker

avatar is a "we are scientists" album cover and i can't be bothered to change it

User name and Avatar:

A street vender who sells Turkish food in the Simpsons, generally as I like the programme.

User name. Nickname
Avatar. Always going nowhere but not for lack of trying.

Username: my favourite book is Shoeless Joe by WP Kinsella (was made into Field of Dreams with Kevin Costner) and I like baseball. WP Kinsella released a collection of baseball short stories called The Further Adventures of Slugger McBatt, and I just liked the name

Avatar: I hope it speaks for itself, but Trin as phoenix from the flames for the slower ones amongst you.

The Clan - Originally was ClanKelly which is reference to the size and close Knit nature of my family, when I changed it I didnt want to stray too far from the original and people not realise it was still me.

Avatar is the WTST logo that I created.

Username is part of the first webmail address I ever created, when the internet was still young.

Avatar is the bog standard Trinity one that I nicked off someone else - I have another picture that I want to use, but can't seem to shrink it to the appropriate size.

Use ms paint to shrink it, you can even set the pixel width & height

Alternatively there are a number of free avatar creation sites, just search Google

Download Irfanview, a really good image viewer that comes with a resize option.

wow what a great topic.

where do i start................


when i was about 18 i nicked one of my mums sunbed tokens and went to the local beauty salon for a quick 9 mins my first ever all over tan. as soon as i got in the standup sunbed i knew it was meant to be, the warm all over tingley feeling, the smell of burning flesh and that moment when you get out and look at your red sweaty body in the mirror.

in that moment i thought when i get home i must create myself in third person and join some wacky internet forums.

hence the sunbedkid was born.


picture is the pope with some gigs on

User name nothing inspiring - its just where I live and I own Sandal Post Office so nothing anonymous about me and the avatar is the Trust logo as I'm involved with it.

Not to be confused with any other "Sandals"

Username is a play on my nickname from way back. Avatar is the cap badge of the Yorkshire Regiment.

whats the cost of a 1st class stamp these days?

User name: I used to be a dj in a forces club when in the RAF , I used the word cool far too much, so it stuck

Aviator: if I remember right ( doesn't show up on iPhone ) from matrix, my fav movie at the time
