Morning All.

I was wondering how some of you decided on your Turfites Talk user name.

I am hoping to change mine to 2019-20

Some are obvious (Bedligton Terrier etc)

But Sinkov for example. Is that to celebrate the bug repellent or the American code breaker?

[Claret_Matelot]

I was in the Royal Navy for 35 years and thought that 'Claret_Sailor' would have led to too much grief on the forum.

[Supersub6]

Mine is simply a different identity to my original which is why it is Supersub --the 6 comes from the number I used to wear for many years when playing football.

[oldcolner]

I guess mine should now be Even Older Colner!

To answer the Turfites Talk question when Tony Scholes debunked to set up his own site we had a poll to decide the new name for the forum and Turfites Talk it was! Democracy prevails on this site but don't tell sinkov!

I am Outwood because that is where I live. It is a former mining area.

You're getting confused BT, I'm all for democracy, I want the chance to vote out those who make the laws I have to live under, which is why I voted to leave the undemocratic EU, and why I expect the result of the referendum to be honoured.

I think you'll find it's 59/60 and his LibDems chums who have a problem with democracy. Unless the vote goes their way of course, then they're all for it.

Oleg Sinkov, a Ukrainian ice-hockey player for the Blackburn Hawks in the 90s. He was a joy to watch, and I knew a bit about his background, which just increased my admiration for him. Also not many others would have it as a username either, so no problems with that.
