I chose my name on the basis of one of my favourite Foo Fighters songs (the opening lyrics are my sig), but on reflection it implies I am not what I seem. In actuality, I try to be honest in all things, except where a little white lie might save hurt feelings.
Seeing as I no longer live in Essex, and I am 40, I suppose with hindsight, I would do.
Yep, I wished I had picked a different name :thumbup:
Nope - I have enough trouble remembering this one - and I've had it for years.
I also will never chanbge my phone number or email address for the same reason.
Changing passwords racks my stress levels through the roof and I have them written in a file on my desktop (in code).
In some ways yes but in others no.
I found SH purely by chance, having chatted with someone on MSN who recommended it.
I did contemplate changing my name from amatuerman to something more simple like Paddy which is what most of the folks in the chatrooms know me as ( and probably a few Mods too)
I deliberately spelt my user name wrong to deter wasters!
I'll stay as I am me thinks.
I'm surprised how many people use their age or year of joining as part of their name or names like 'new_here'. They are bound to be out of date shortly. Maybe it's just me and my OCD but it would wind me up if it was mine.
The thing about passwords - since you have to balance them being unguessable and easy to remember I find variants on a theme best - with obscure replacements for letters/numbers.
So, if you need a password for here you could make it sWin9ingH17. The link there being Swinging Heaven and Heaven 17 (a very old band for you youngsters). The not so obscure replacements are a switched capital letter and using 9 instead of g. If you are consistent you would remember it, but it would take a long time for someone to guess it and a even a computer would have to go through loads of variants to find it. Stick a character such as # into it and you increase the variants by that many times. The trick is to be consistent so you can remember your own codes.
I also have a trick for never having to remember your PINs for your bank cards. Use the numbers printed on your card. You have the big number across the middle and variious other numbers in different places. The method is simply to choose 4 locations of digits from different places on your card and use the same locations on every card you have. For example the last letter of each of the four groups of numbers in the big number across the middle.
So, if on one card my number was 7 9847 my PIN for that card would be 4277.
A different card has a different number across the front but the positions would be the same xxxX yyyY zzzZ wwwW. You choose the same pattern every time - you can even look at your card and read the number off but unless you tell someone your personal pattern they couldn't possibly guess what the number is.
It took us minutes few to think of our name, it aint really original and sometimes I think it's a bit boring. I did think of changing it when another funlovers started using the same chat room as us and it all got a bit confusing, but most people just call me by my real name now which makes things a bit easier.
I thought it was Amateur man lol
As to the actual thread, it took us long enough to come up with this name so would probably carry on using it lol
Our account is named after the place we fell in love and started our lives together.
Never really intended to attract any advances :lol: 
In the 6 full years between signing up and starting to really use my account I had been on other forums etc with my original username, and I didn't want the connection. I chose the new one in a hurry and yes I would like to change it again... but I doubt I would now, for the sake of continuity. It is bad enough as it is, with some people approaching me again and again without any recollection of having spoken before!
Mrs Tweeky also hates wearing name badges that say Mrs Tweeky. Names stuck now though and wont be going anywhere.
