    I remember it taking me a few minutes to figure out the Er_Be_Ab_Pl_Wo_Wo_Ch username

    Couple of minutes???
    It took me 6 months!
    And on a bad day that's how long the journey can take.

    Mine will be obvious to those of a certain age.
    Back in the 60's and beyond there was an old boy who used to wander the East Terrace selling bags of roasted peanuts (in their shell - aka monkey nuts).
    As he traipsed around he called out "Peanuts, tanner a bag" and every now and again he would stretch it to "Peanuts, tanner a bag - six a bag of nuts"
    Six being short for sixpence and tanner being a slang word for the same.

    Sometimes I shouted back "how much", it seemed to annoy him :smile:

    My name is Nigel and I really support Chrystal Palarse.

    Addickted is ironic as I'm really here to wind all you clowns up.

    I'm 42, live with my parents in Purley and my girlfriend left me in 2008 for a Border Collie. I've dressed in black for home games ever since to pay homage to her in the hope we can rekindle our relationship and enjoy Trival Pursuits and Line dancing once again.

    That's a lie

    You're 64
    At least I've never lost my passport.

    Twice.

    :blush: j

    Touche!

    My nickname is Dazzler - the 21 comes from Jonatan Johansson - my favourite player as a kid so I started getting 21 on all my footy shirts...

    Then I signed up to here and thought my username was a bit like a footy shirt it let's the admins know who I am should they need to book/scold me.

    The user name I wanted was taken - PL54, so I had to settle for Ricky_Otto.

    Ironic really, Otto is Black with dreadlocks and I am white and bald. I was certainly the better player though.

    On or off the field?
    Both.

    I used to use a very nice Charlton supporting pub run by Brian Wilson on Plumstead Common but it was taken over by an idiot.
    I will be very happy to return when he departs.

    At least you have the comfort that wouldn't happen at the football club.

    I am a hardened criminal which means I have to go under different aliases from time to time to avoid the filth.

    My user name is an anagram of four of those aliases:

    Tom Nectara
    Ron McAtea
    Nate Macro
    Ant Creamo

    I'm currently in the Costa Del Sol and this is the only forum I've released my whereabouts on so keep it quiet.

    Still strange to be named after a piece of garden equipment.

    At the risk of a whoosh, I've always been a bit puzzled by @cabbles / babbles / cables / bobbles or whatever.

    I've looked it up on Google and it says:

    Metallurgy. to cut up (iron or steel bars) for fagoting.

    :neutral:

    Fagoting :smiley:

    No mine is quite boring. I was at Kent Uni in Canterbury and was leaving a club called the works and was so smashed I jumped the cab queue and got into an altercation, at which point my mates just started calling me the big cab

    Cabbles was developed because of a line in the office when Brent goes (I think) ‘here is he is, cocky, cockles, the big cock’ (I may have that wrong)

    Anyway they just shifted it to cabbles and it’s what I’ve used ever since

    Nothing too interesting just standard nickname stuff that eminates from a group of mates

    @The31YearMan gets his because he committed to do 31 years of going to all the games on his 54th birthday and at 85 he says he’ll be done with Charlton.

    We all know he’s already failed
