Am I the only one left on the planet that owns up to having a real identifiable name...?.

I was nicknamed Big Mac back in primary school around 1960. Nothing to do with McDonalds, as they weren’t around for another 15 years or so. I was given this nickname after a cartoon character on television. He was a small boy with a very loud voice which described me pretty
well at that age. In high School it was shortened to Macca, and has been ever since, even at the age of 72.
My full name, for those that really want to know, is Ian James McLaren.
Macca.

I see your point
John, I'm so ashamed.
I'm going to change my name by deed pol to qld camper so I can sleep at night.
OK seriously, you might have worked out that I'm a bit of a smart arse and it tends to ruffle a few feathers from time to time so prefer to remain anonymous on some forums.
But there is no anonymity past this level of the
forum so if anyone wants to press charges against anyone for costs arising from following poor advice given on this
forum, management will be bound to reveal our contact details.

Hi QC. That should sort it, although could I respectfully suggest that you capitalise the names... Cheers.

Hi
John, I use Broodie H3, out of fond memories as my father gave me that nick name when I was just a small boy living on a poultry
farm, He later changed that to THE captain when I joined The RAN. The H3 is for my surname and respect for my two brothers one still living and one has passed over, my four sisters dont get a mention in my on line account. My name is Bruce so the Broodie is appropriate. How I got the name is another long story.

.
Coded names (I can't spell pseudonyms) are all very
well but as I have often said, this
forum is very much like a campfire chat and even if one uses a pseu-thingy for a registration identity it would be nice if they were to
sign off with a real name like
John or Roger or even Allan so we can reply with " Yes
John, I agree with you etc." Just like "Nomadic Navara" who signs as "Peter".
You can use any really great name you like..... it doesn't have to be the one your parents chose.
I rather fancied "Maximus" but it really doesn't go with my surname.
I always feel awkward saying "Hi, 1234etc"
