OK, some are obvious, some aren't!

How did you chose your username?

My name's Alistair Cox and have been known as Coxy for as long as I can remember, so mine is pretty boring really!

I used to do an impersonation of a pikey called Barry, whose catchphrase was "I'll give you £12 for it !".
When I turned up with a car for an MOT one day, my mate who worked there said, "Oh bloody hell, here he is look, it's the twelve quid kid !".
So when I joined forums it seemed the obvious username.

My real name's Paul

Gaz.. short for Gareth. lol

I use to just be called gareth till i met my current friends 4 or so years ago, who all started calling me GAz.

And i kinda prefer it . As for some reason when ever i met new people and i'd tell them my name, they seemed to think i said 'Darren' for some reason..

Now tho some people i know keep calling me 'Garry'

ahhhhhhh! lol And i find my self at square 1 again having to explain that Gaz is short for gareth, No, not Darren, NOT GARRY or GARTH or what ever... lol

Named after the famous otter by my mates. Purely on the basis that my stupidly straight hair looks like an otter's after I've been swimming. Its kinda stuck since.

If anyone is from the Barnstable area they will chuckle as most things round there are linked to Tarka the Otter!!
