When I 1st came on here I had a school age child .

I Still believe we should be security wise as well .

I use Zoomtop , it is a nick-name I acquired at 15,

I sign-off with Richo . Well it's Aussie  , like Smithie .

I went to a reunion in Hawaii in 08 , with people who came from

all over the world , 1050 of us , all of us had an "aka" none of us had any trouble

I-d ing each other. Even tho I live in th Grafton area , I'm yet to catch up with ,

3 'known gn's' from this forum .

I Don't see it as a problem , I see it as individuality , like the name I put on th last truck I drove .

Some of you know , th "Mack Munchers" "Hummin Cummins" "PussyPower" . I worked for a firm

called Lickermans Tpt , I drove a Western Star - Superstar model , with a Detroit motor in it . on th

'bug deflecter' I had ..... "Lickalotopuss"  - I got th idea from a joke -""what do you get if you cross a

hippopotamus with a lesbian" - a hippolickalotopuss . Well I worked for Lickermans , the motor in my

truck out-did Cat motors(Caterpillar)............. besides

It Adds some character

I initially used my nickname because people who do not know me very well tend to use it.

My friends know I don't like it and therefore use my correct name, Ken.

I tend to think that some people, not all, do not want to be recognized when on the road, due to there agro style on these forums.

If you can't say it to someone's face, don't say it.

Ken

I agree with everyone . Personal choice for a whole range of reasons.

Like Dougwe usually I only ever got called by my full first name in when I was in trouble . I have 3 older siblings and it's interesting (to me anyway) that they always call me by my full name, it seems they still want to keep me in my place after all these years .

My forum name. Just the usual aussie halve the name and tack an "o" at the end. My choice and certainly better than some of the "R" rated ones I've been called over the years. 

Jeff

I'm fat I get around in a dressing gown and slippers most days and my hair only grows at the sides and back of my head. I used to live on edge of a well forested national park

What else you gonna call me?

Dont answer that.

Friar

I'm happy to use my name, suburb, and email, but don't want strangers dropping in or calling my phone, I would prefer to get to know them first.

Sorry. I wasn't intimating that oldbobsbus was a 2-percenter  He certainly hasn't shown that trait to date

I only mentioned that should he become one (or anyone else for that matter) then it don't faze me either - I jest ignore those types.

Hi All

Interesting read people.

Radar come about years back at a transport yard I worked at, one of the guys said to a new driver ask Radar he know how and where it, struck like glue. It was said with out offence to me it was just that I had 18 years at the time doing delivers around the south east Queensland area and was considered very knowledgeable on the Brisbane area. The best way in and out with long and medium wide loads of steel to our regular customers.

So over the company radio network you would here "if your not sure check with Radar". Ralph
