What does your handle mean / come from?
« on: 25 January 2007, 13:13:32 »
Following on from Eddie Mathews thread on user names, it started me wondering how and why people here have chosen their particular user id.

I think mine is fairly obvious - The Omega is a bit of a barge, and I'm allegedly in control of her, which makes me Captain - therefore, for those who haven't got it yet I'm the Captain of a barge  ;)

Anyone else like to enlighten us as to the origin of there pseudonym?  
Only if you are comfortable with doing so of course.

Phate is a character from a book "The Blue Nowhere" by Jeffrey Deaver. 321 is because 5 characters are not normally enough  or Phate is already used.
The book is really cool  8-)

As started in Eddy's thread, my name's Jonny and in the search for a bit of uniqueness (is that a real word?) I called upon my favourite band 'Rush' and possibly their most famous album '2112'. Simple really, and more effective with the avatar.
