I'm not sure why (in 2012 when I joined) I chose these two legends. I had seen them play, but not regularly as I only went to the occasional Charlton game as a child back then. Either way the name stuck and I have used it elsewhere, including for my Twitter account too!
In retrospect, I would have picked a name more associated with the Upton Park period as that was when I started going regularly, and is still a golden period for me (as indeed it was for Curbs!)
Thanks Sporadic. Really appreciate that! Great memory AFKA. Thanks for bringing this thread back, even if it has cost me half the morning to read it! Nothing from Fanny Fanackpan or Tel yet. Would be interested in those among others.
I happened to be in France when i signed up on here, and hadn’t really thought about a username in advance. I had however been talking to an English speaking Frenchman the day before about Charlton, and in response to a question asking if we were the Red Devils, the Magpies or something else, I told him we were the Addicks, after which he said my username, which i found funny.
I have no real connection to France, and probably wouldn’t have chosen it any other day
I always wear a tie and there is often a general malaise about me.
I was found as an abandoned baby in the Thai jungle by a Malaysian family who raised me in Kuching, which may ring a bell
When I set up this account I was working in Kuala Lumpur and had a house in Thailand. I should rename myself as The Artist Formerly Known as Thai Malaysia Addick, but that that malaise means I can’t be bothered.
I've used mine for ages, since the early days of the internet. It means black frog in Spanish. Why? It's kind of lost in a bit of a haze, but I like frogs and there was a bit of humour (possibly inspired by Black Adder) about giving myself a fearsome internet name based on a creature that's not particularly fearsome. It's stuck. I've no reason to change it, though there are others using the same name out there so not all are me.
I have a craft auxiliary/handyman who has worked on my shift for over 20 years. I used to be his direct line manager but i have gone on to run the shift now and i am a couple of steps up the ladder from him now.
His surname is Minton and everybody calls him Chippy the mint, as he is fairly good at medium carpentry tasks. He is a pain in the arse to be in charge off as all he does is try to scam all day.
He comes from Wolverhampton and hates everyone who doesn't and hates, gays, lesbians, anyone who doesn't come from the UK.
He doesn't like any London football clubs, so i decided to bring him into my little world on this forum.
Lots of people think i am a carpenter as the name suggests but i am a senior mechanical engineer and have a mechanical engineering background.
There used to be a character on Soccer AM called Ali McMoist (It's a Wee Stain)
Put everything together and you come up with Valley McMoist
My username used to be Valley McMoist but when I had trouble signing in, I used Twitter and the site automatically changed my username to my Twitter handle and I could’ve be bothered to change it back

Looking back I don't know why. Kane was my favourite wrestler not the undertaker!
However, I am thinking of changing my name to Lucky.
I last saw us lose on 17th May 2010. My kids have never seen us lose (albeit only 6 games). Genuinely true...
Have a good day
