This topic seems to come up about once a year. Like I said last year , I switched to my real name to support my personal interest in protecting free non-anonymous speech.

Cyclefrance owes its origins to my French cycling trips (now there's a surprise!)
I discovered Cellar after searching the web for more info on the giant puppets I stumbled upon in Amiens this year, at the end of my annual cycling holiday in north France. I have been doing these since 1999, usually with my cousin's now ex-husband, Paul, and they started off as a result of wanting to find a way to get around the WW! battlefields so as to appreciate the terrain but also to be able to cover a reasonable distance. Walking was too slow, Car was too fast. Cycling hit the button. Neither of us had ridden bikes since being teenagers so it was quite an eye-opener to learn how unfit we both were (my first practise ride of only five miles saw me nearly collapsing when I got off the bike back home - my son thought I was having a coronary, but it was just jelly legs, and weak lungs!). After a few weeks 25 mile sessions were do-able, and 40 miles ones by the time we went. The first year was the Somme, but pre digital camera days (I have plenty of 35mm pictures and still toy with the idea of scanning and backfilling to create websites for these earlier sorties). We enjoyed our first holiday so much that in 2000 we went to Ypres and Paeschendaele, then 2001 was Arras and Vimy Ridge (for the first time). We were also in France on a cycling day trip on 9/11 that year. 2002 we did two short trips: first one to the two V2 rocket sites near St Omer and the second for a spot of sand-yachting near Boulogne. 2003 saw the first digital photo record and the first website on Geocities. After a few attempts at other IDs, Cyclefrance2003 was the one that was accepted and so the Cyclefrance tag was born. Seemed only fair to use it on Cellar in view of the association with the Amiens puppets.

I think I mentioned this in a previous thread.
"Glatt" is German for "smooth." In college, my nickname was "smooth" and to a lesser extent, "glatt." Both were a variation of my actual last name. The added joke being that I was far from smooth. |

old nick from a band i was in. i lack the ability to not fool around on my guitar during breaks between practice. they had it made into a label and put it on my guitar case. it's a lame nickname, but a fine internet handle.
i also get called 'dekken'. i think it's a play off 'dokken', who was a band i was keen on in the 80s. also a lame nick, but a fine WoW name. 'derek' doesn't lend itself to snappy alterations. 'dekken,' however, will come in handy if GH ever decides to become a norwegian death metal act.

My handle is a half of my CB handle (half because back in the dim mists of time many BBSs didn't allow spaces in UserIDs) and a reflection of the fact that I can't spell to save my life. Mitheral from mithril. The misspelling also turns my ID into something that is the perfect length as it meets both the must be 8 characters and can't be more than 8 characters that seem to be common requirements. |

Bernadette is actually kind of cute as there are several good nicknames you can generate from it. No so for poor Brianna.

Mine doesn't really signify anything other than the fact I was born in November. I made it up without giving it much thought when I joined another board where I thought my usual moniker might not be appropriate.

Mine comes from the fact that I'm the area problem solver.
I fix cars, computers, applainces, domestic problems, minor injuries, etc. I'm the guy everybody ends up calling when official channels run dry. If I can't fix it or answer it, I know someone who can.
