Tekel Towers » Why did you choose your Username?

Tek · 14/4/2015 10:43 pm

Mine was TerrorinEK on Mad and everyone shortened it too Tek,of course.

'Terror In EK' because i am from EK (East Kilbride) and support 'The Terrors'.It was also a tenous play on words from The Smiths song 'Panic'.

"Panic on the streets of London"...... "Terror In EK".

Not a great play on words admittedly but there we go.

Why did you pick your Username?

huntedbyafreak · 14/4/2015 11:13 pm

I like the song by Mogwai.

Hence my status level on TT.

Sieb22 · 14/4/2015 11:50 pm

Sieb was my favourite player when i was in high school. I also used to be a goalie back then, I had the pleasure of interviewing him up at Tannadice for my school newspaper. The big man was so nice and funny, when the article hit everyone started calling me Sieb.

The 22 bit is my favourite number, don't have a real reason behind it, and not really superstitious about stuff like that.

After the big man left the club and I left high school the nickname kind of drifted away, but it still always makes me smile now when I bump into an old classmate and they start chanting Sieb! Sieb! Sieb! Will never tire of that as it reminds me of my youth and some great footballing days out with that cracking team we had back then.

Apparently I spend most of my time at the games shouting at a succession of powerduff men in tangerine youve got to be harder than that. If my advice had been heeded we would have won more than 5.

Hamiltonarab · 15/4/2015 12:28 pm

From and live in Hamilton and I am an Arab (feels like an arabs anonymous meeting here).

Need I say more. Pretty shite username by all accounts though.

I'm not sure if you guys can do that yourself.

But i can change your Username by request.

Within reason of course.

Billy_Hainey · 18/4/2015 9:41 pm

After my childhood United hero, upon who's departure, I broke my heart.

Arabnophobia · 19/4/2015 12:40 am

Arachnophobia is a fear O' spiders.

I have no fear of spiders or any fears really, pretty much up for anything and stupidly scared of no much, but to be true the only thing that has ever given me much grief in life is being a fucking Arab.

Arabnophobia! Nophobias other than being an Arab!

Good man, I'll keep you posted if I decide to change.

Always pick a fictional character cause im not using my own name

and the fictional character doesn't really exist or has changed their name,given my name on that Mad place

as its online and its not really real anyway.

If another forum started up -i'd be Boo Radley -not named after the band.

Then if another forum started i'd be Andy Dufresne

arabugsy · 22/4/2015 10:26 pm

So, just any fictional character at random?

Do you have a fictional character generator at home or is it some sub-conscious selection.
