What is the inspiration behind your user name.
Mine is my love of the sea tranquility lighthouses and of course no light house would be complete without a ghost

My real name is Mary & my Family think I talk like her from Downton ( I don't) but I do like her.

I attend gigs at this Glasgow music venue as often as I can, possible probable mid-life crisis Fell in love with the place at my first gig in 1989.
However, as I am longer crowdsurfing down the front, as in my very drunk youth, I feel like an old 'biddy' standing sensibly at the back.

On the plus side, it's close to the bar........

I was watching Red Dwarf one night. This is my 2nd RD name, my last NN was Cumberbatch related, and my first MN NN was utterly shit.

Ivan is the protagonist in a quirky old Russian novella about a man who keeps revisiting his past life in the hope that he can get things to turn out differently.

Needless to say, it doesn't work out that way but it's a notion that appeals...

Because I have to keep reminding myself that life is..

Mine is related to my job

Gosh I always thought "take me up the north mountain" was some sort of euphemism for something unsavoury

Name changed when sir terry pratchett died. All the discworld names I actually wanted were already taken.

Because I have a fat arse and if you don't like me you can kiss it!

I am a Douglas Adams fan and my username is Zaphod Beeblebrox's favourite drink.

Diseases that's why I chose it. It's a line from the movie that everyone hears and thinks

we were watching wreck it ralph

I just lurve Father Ted. Feck!

Mine is the way Owl signs himself in Winnie the Pooh. He's the 'brainy' one that uses lots of long words, something I'm renowned for. And the number is my birth year.

Someone was teaching our church a new song, but their enunciation was just terrible. Nobody could quite follow what they were singing. Cue me asking dh if I was losing my hearing or was there a line about peas?
We concluded later that they were singing 'You are my rock of peace' but all I could get was 'You are my rack of peas' which I want to sing now if the song ever comes up.

Because I am descended from the Scottish Picts. As are lots of Scots.

I'm a Raptor.

I wear a pork pie hat.

Or it could be an Eddie Izzard reference covered in bees

I'm an Archers fan - trying out my new name.

In honour of the finest raconteur my home city has ever produced, Mr Robert C Nesbitt.

Minecraft....

6yo DD was experimenting with the creative version on the iPad. She'd got the house sorted but needed to clear a bit of space for a garden. Did she use a shovel? Nope. Dynamite. Lots and lots of dynamite. A few minutes later there was a cry of "Mummmeeeeeee!!!!" as she was standing in the bottom of a huge chasm, having blown the front of the house up and an awful lot of the surrounding area.

I loved miss Oswald in doctor who (matt Smith) but nothing is impossible. Implausible possibly improbable perhaps, but never impossible (favourite quote) . A la improbable girl!

Because I am a counsellor and have worked for ages in mental health and allied services, and sometimes, just sometimes....(I saw it on a greeting card and sent it to myself) I want to say something along those lines...never do of course

Mine is from a slightly naughty Jethro Tull song.

A wizard's staff poked out. The chieftan saw the knob on the end.

"Now, then," he said pleasantly. "I know the rules. Wizards aren't allowed to use magic against civilians except in genuine lifethreatening situa-"

There was a burst of octarine light.

"Actually, it's not a rule," said Ridcully. "It's more a guideline." He turned to Ponder Stibbons. "Interestin' use of Stacklady's Morphic Resonator here, I hope you noticed."

Ponder looked down.

The chieftain had been turned into a pumpkin although, in accordance with the rules of universal humour, he still had his hat on.
