Just thought it might be fun,but what is the origin of members forum names ?
There are some really good/funny/interesting names,mine is nothing exciting really,its just my two dogs names.
Neil. ;) ;D
-
I chose mine because I lived in Minsk for a time and loved it, although I am possibly not much of a babe!! (nor am I Belorussian..)
-
Great one to start with,its nice to get a bit of a background on people we interact with on a "daily" basis.
-
I''m boring - coz mine is the name my parents gave me..! ;D ;D ;D ;D
-
Mine is Turkish for the male partner/husband/appendage of a female relative, or something like that, so my Turkish wife''s (and now my) nephews and nieces refer to me as EniÅŸte, which I hope and believe is meant to be a term of respect. More and more now seem to be referring to me as "uncle" or older brother", which is nice but mildly ageist.
Without delving too deep, does anyone know of any/many other British men married to Turkish ladies, living in Kalkan? I have met numerous couples the other way around, as it were, but few our way!
-
Mine''s very boring - because I am one!
EniÅŸte, my friends brother is married to a Turkish lady from Antalya but they live in Holywell in north Wales - not quite as sunny there as Kalkan ;D
-
Ooh, Ooh, me sir, I know the answer, sir! Any beer-related prizes available?
Isn''''t this a fun thread? Are we allowed to deliberate on what other users'' screen names mean?
-
Please feel free to deliberate,sounds like fun ;D
dont know about beer prizes ::)
-
I am afraid I am boring. Mine is my real name.
-
Bet no-one can guess where mine came from.

Fidimax
I might have guessed that the Feds had been former police officers or undercover US agents, had I not met them back in the summer and got the answer. I would never have guessed yours was after your dogs - I would have gone for some sort of video recording format or that you claimed to the biggest fan of the popular performer 50 (fiddy) cent!
Perhaps Kalkan4eva can tell us more about Eva.
Or Belorusbabe can explain why she didn''t go for Minsk Minx (easy for you to say)?
-
Martyn E
Were your parents fans of Vermouth? Martini?! Geddit?
I''ll get my coat.......
As another clue, my family name does feature on my posts but not in my user name.
-
You are right on one count Eniste,one of my dogs IS named after Fiddy C. the max bit is just part of the other ones pedigree name.
-
My cousin has a black labrador bitch (sorry) called Pepsi, who recently "entertained" a Max, prompting much hilarity at the kennels, especially for fans of the ubiquitous soft drink!
One of Pepsi''s pups was allegedly named G*nner, after the french football team, and I hope he never mates with my cousin''s other bitch, called Ria!.....
-
sorry,It wasnt my Max,but he is a yellow lab.
-
Can we not call them "golden" any more?
Are we heading slightly off topic?
-
Some call them Golden,some call them Yellow,I think Golden is used more for retrievers.
-
Not only am I enjoying myself here today, I am improving my education! I wonder how things are on the EK naughty step....
-
Sorry to disappoint, Eniste...Eva doesn''t exist as a person...my monica is paying homage to textspeak..cos I thought it would make me appear hip and trendy :-[ At the 70''s night in Kleo our friends..and even my BH near choked on their Efes when they heard me introducing myself as "Kalkan Forever "(4 eva - gettit?) - my BH felt it would be more suited to a seventies porn star, than a mother of three grown-up children :o.
Oh well, too late to change it now...I couldn''t keep up with all Hoca''s name changes recently, so I won''t embark on that course of action. :laugh:
As for The Feds...I think the answer is no.4
-
Without giving the game away re the Feds, WRONG!
I''m off now for a pint and to scour the net for 70s por...... pop music!
Iyi aksamlar again
-
I,m copying the Feds - plagiarism being the sincerest form of flattery and I will buy a large beer (or glass of wine if preferred) for the first member to guess which definition is mine
Lantana - A 2001 Australian detective movie about a female psychiatrist who comes to a bad end
- A small town in Florida celebrated for its green credentials
- A rock chick band heralded as country music''s newest sensation
- A flowering shrub described in gardening books as ''a brilliant bloomer with bad manners''
lantana
-
Lantana-A flowering shrub.
-
i''d go for the bloomers !! ;D
-
Haha K4E - WRONG (re the Feds) I too know the answer (but I''ll not snitch...LOL!!). ;D ;D
Well at the 70''s night - of course you had to introduce yourself by your forum name - coz otherwise nobody would have known who you were..!! :o Wasnt that a good night - when do you think we can repeat it...?? ??? Maybe in celebration of Jon and Jules forthcoming marriage - any excuse - they don''t have to be there....LOL! Oops slapped wrist -going off topic...
Mmmmm Lantana - I''m stuck - but I''d love a glass of Angora white... so I''m going for the film - sounds like you might like a good movie...and maybe you have an Aussie connection..????? :D :D
-
My forum name is a bit boring and obvious so maybe I should change it :D
Im up for another 70''s night!... especially after sampling the Mojitos in Kleo! Only problem is it would have to be next September :-[
-
Now who''s going off topic jon...LOL... :-[ :-[ Who says we need you for another 70''s party...we can celebrate your impending marriage if we cant wait until September and btw - am I being ''fik'' but what is a mojito - and more importantly - HOW COME I missed out them..???? :o :o >:( :o :o
-
Felicity, they are the most wonderful cocktails, bacardi, lime, lemonade, mint, ice....... tall glass, heaven. Shall we try one when we''re both there a week on Friday! No 70''s attire for me though
BJ
-
yeah - BevJam - now you''re talking - I''m up for trying one of them.....not a fan of bacardi that much - but hey ho - you only live once..!! :o :o (we have each other''s mobile number so we must meet up and try one!!!)
Back on topic - so where does BevJam come from....(before we get slapped wrists!!)
cheers!
-
I''m thinking of changing mine as everyone thinks I''m a girl !!!! No wise cracks Felicity :) :) :) :)
-
Same here! It,s the name of my labrador
-
And continuing the labrador discussion of yesterday, my cousin''s previous black lab was called Misty!
-
Mine''s really boring Felicity, it''s the front end of my first and last name, I wish I''d been more creative, surprised no one has gone for "Minesanefes"
BJ
-
Yelkenite; again not very imaginative but Yelken was the name of the hotel on the Kalamar road we used to stay at and where our apartment is now! Marvellous.
Dont talk to me about Mojito''s; they do a really fierce one at Nobu in Mayfair and at the firms do a couple of years ago I got terribly over the top on them. Wont go anywhere near them again. lol Bill x
-
wetherspoons are doing a promo on Mojitos... at £1.80 or double up for an extra £1...yum yum!! unfortunatley they can''t supply sunshine ! ;)
-
Mines my first name and viva is a group my son was bass player in called Viva High Rollers who played in dubious clubs and pubs in Sheffield, he''s now in Dave Woodcock and the Dead Comedians (yes hes one of the dead ones !) and still playing in some shady establishments round Rotheram and Sheffield.I don''t think Jacquidead has the same ring to it. :)
-
Lantana,
I resorted to cheating (Google) and see that the Aussie movie and the bad-mannered plant appear to be right, but could not count out the other two, so is the answer "e) all of the above"?
Mrs E loves Mojitos, but whenever I hear the word, I think of a fairly recent James Bond movie and a certain orange bikini emerging from the waves. That''''s enough to get me feeling dizzy!
My message picture has changed from C Montgomery Burns from teh Simpsons to a rather snazzy flag. Any guesses which flag it is? Part of the answer is loosely Kalkan-related.....
-
Isn''t Wikipedia useful? Turks and Caicos island flag of course!
-
Correctamundo! Well done, Alf! If that is not your name, would I be right in guessing that you drive an Italian car?
-
Re Lantana''s I''d go for a flowering shrub I think. John''s I know but will leave people guessing.
-
To borrow/share the reply from turkeyfan - because I am one!
Lantana, had you down for the flowering shrub, was not aware of the other options, will research a bit and maybe have another guess.
John (Feds) I will tentatively go with option 2 ( I think... or was I dreaming?)
-
My user name belongs to my house rabbit, his middle name is Elvis: Mister Elvis Popps. When he rips the wallpaper from the wall he''s also known as Bastard.
-
My user name means on holiday, which at the moment, unfortunately, I''m not.
-
and mine, naturally, is in honour of where i had the most amaxzing chocolate puddle pudding i''ve ever had, never mind the amazing sunset and gossiping with my best friend! alas, it can only be a memory now! :(
-
Ok then, in the same vein as TheFeds, you choose:
1. I''m a fan of Dean Martin - number 2 of the ''Rat Pack''
2. R A T are my initials and my dad was rat1
3. I''m a rat 2 everybody
4. Guess what position I flew in the R------''s Aerobatic Team
r2
-
I reckon it''s No 1. But who knows ???
My name is boring - it''s my name!
-
You''re not boring .........you''re "dodgy" LOL
-
rat2
I had wondered how your "name" came about;
number 1? - - - maybe, but? I don''t know - - - I know one song and I certainly identify with that!
number 2? - - - with a bit of searching, I don''t think so.
number 3? - - - I VERY MUCH DOUBT! and you already said you don''t like "text speak"
number 4? - - - I''d like to think, - - - that would be every lads dream!
-
You''''re not boring .........you''''re "dodgy" LOL
You are the "dodgy" one - nominated as such! :D
