Well, Cliffy because my mates, when slightly worse for ware, often address me as that (with my first name Cliff it's kind natural drunk speak to add the "y"), and my surname begins with "B". Unfortunately I use it in some online shooters and I sometimes get grief for trying to mimic Cliffyb, a games designer who was involved in level design for the original Unreal Tournament :huh:

Mines from days when we all had CBs as kids (think mobile phone with poor reception but bigger). You needed something snappy and cool, a name that was anonymous so anyone you pissed off and peados could not trace you. NRK are my initials and ANARCHY has been used ever since cos it sounds similar.

My user name is my nickname and has stuck since someone (you know who you are) :D :P got bored in a 1st year English class circa 1993 and opted to spend half an hour assigning individuals with daft names. :drink: It is a product of my second name pronounced wrongly, hence spelled wrongly and then shortened. . :beat: The wrongly spelled wrong nickname got even 'wronger' when it was written down with an 'M' missing and was spelled Jimo for about 8 years until a bright spark (normal person) pronounced Jimo highlighting the fact that the spelling did not match the pronunciation being adopted by the oblivious crowds, oh dear. :( My first name is not Jim or James or Jimmy BTW. :blink: Posh people from University and past work colleques etc do not know me by this name he he! :) its only reserved for local folk, close friends, family and now vx220.org.uk :P Thought i'd share that with the world wide tinkernet. ;)

Posted 25 February 2008 - 08:45 PM

surname is Colvin
and I've a circle of friends that call me 'The Colv' (I know I know "The Colv? who's this guy think he is? LOL)
or just Colv
that sounds better so Colv it is



plus Colvin-y sounds a bit pish

and Colvy sounds a bit gay :gayfight:




NOTE: Nothing against gays! and hopefully they won't have anything against me! lol :unsure:
