I was asked why I use the name of Monty as a user name. The answer is "that's my dogs name, and I am in business to keep my dog in biscuits. Using his name keeps reminding me not to be greedy.
-
as good a reason, if not better, then most I have heared. :)
-
And the reason I use this user name is because a few years back I worked for Wincantons home delivery and my work mate said that I was a grumpy bugger and started calling me it, and it stuck, so now I use it to try and remind myself not to be so grumpy.............................
doesn't work much though.
-
Was thinking why you used that name monty.
Good on ya mind with the dog ;D

only my opinion but i like real names, when you sign in with mickey mouse names i think you have something to hide, i like to talk to someone with a real name, talking to someone with a hidden name gives me the creeps, what's to hide?

No add ons ... ... no after sales... just customer satisfaction and a job well done. "Now can I please have a drink of water"

Gives you the creeps ??? you need help Colin, this is just a cleaning forum and your not talking to anyone.
-
So Colin, you would object to talking to Cliff Richard,.............well fair cop there..
John Wayne?
Big Daddy?
The Queen?
lots of people use different names for different reasons, and this thread was where a few of us gave the reasons for the use of these names (although it has turned out like crufts........... but I like doggies)
so nothing creepy going on except in your mind.
-
why happy mondays? why hector mildew? doesn't make sense to me, use your real names, makes it more real. i don't need help, you do if you hide your name,
colin

Its only a bit of fun Colin. This is the only forum i've been on where a large pecentage of the users use thier real names. I dont see it being a big deal.
-
so if i want to reply to a post from you do i post it as 'hi dawg' or 'hi carpet', it's just not right. if you were in a shop and the till-tart called you 'dawg', would that be ok?
colin, not afraid to use my real name!!!!
-
I agree with colin I prefer people to use their real names but can understand why some don;t ( my real name is'nt Mike)
but the problem is some use alias to deceive other members, Monty doesn't use his real name but does not try and hide his real identity, he has his website listed, the problem rises when someone gives advice on things like websiteS but because they don't want people to know who they are won't list their own or worse they criticize but won't let people respond
imagine someone calling you a tosser and A dickhead but they meet you at CCDO and act like they are your best mate this is the problem with alliass
-

Thats abit over the top Mike. No one on here with them user names. But at the end of the day the moderators allow it.
Common sense prevails... I had someone from on here contact me the other day by email and the first thing i did was tell them my real name. But it is not hard to find out that sort of stuff anyway. Websites can tell you all sorts of wonderfull things if you know where to look.

That would be cooool! ;D
Fair enough but to be fair i sign the majorty of my posts with Tony at the end.
The annoying ones for me are the people that are clearly hiding behind a fake username!! :( Remember that crazy guy that kept on banging on about LM and VVVVLM cleaning?
Tony
-
Our friend departed last summer but his picture is in my profile.
-
thanks for your honesty (tony) 'dawg', but for heavens sake, please everyone, sign in with your own name, i think it would make a real difference to the threads,

Colin, I like happy mondays as a user name it makes perfect sense to me, I have nothing to hide, I have met a few on here and shared a few beers with them, they know I am genuine.
-
Have you seen the new cat milk stain remover?
-
How many times do I have to tell you... "blot it ... don't scrub it"
-
Paul genuine? nah! wouldn't trust him ;)

Yes sure is and she carried out Training Courses In Leather Cleaning. Anyone interested ?
-
but happy, there you go, YOU are happy to stay incognito but the rest of us have to wonder who you are. just a real name at the end of a post would be great, what's the problem? if you have met a few contributors in the past and had a beer or two and they know your name, what's the problem?
colin
ps don't want to know your lifes history, just the pleasantry of your real name.

Sorry Colin, but just a name means nothing really and websites can be fake.
Mine is Paul West, I breed cocker spaniels ;D
-
I have another job and it's quite sad really I type rhetoric on forums the pay is crap but it passes time with other like minded folk (who are just as sad)
Shaun
-
Shaun your post would only be rhetoric, if no one would give you the anwser,
So the anwser to your question is i am sad too ;D ;D
Ps check out the other post, with all these dogs on here tonight, i knew it would happen. ;D ;D
