WOMY (wife of my youth) is responsible. Before we married, over 30 years ago, she recognised that I was great hulking brave man, so she called me her Bear :shock: :shock:

Ok ok, the truth must come out, in fit of utter disrespect she referred to me as her furry little teddy bear - I've been Bear ever since. ops: ops:

here's an original one.... :idea:

my name is Michael.....my other half's name Jenni. Surname = Forder.

If any of you struggle to remember all of your different google, yahoo, MSN, bank A/C, work, home PC, ebay, movieland etc etc usernames and passwords - then keeping it "SS" usually prevents it from being locked out after 3 incorrect attempts.

the downside :shock: is that the password is rather long and convoluted and varies between sites (to prevent mass hackings) so all-in-all probably not that beneficial afterall!

Mines another very original one. Way for Wayne and Lib for my wife Libby. Our kids chose it about 10 years ago when we were trying to register an email address and it has stuck.

I'm a herpetologist with a particular interest in goannas, so mine is from the largest goanna ever to inhabit Australia Megalania prisca. Size was about 6m long and up to 600kg.....imagine that turning up at your campsite looking for a feed!

I grew up on a farm near Gilgandra in central west NSW, and moved to Sydney in 1980.
One of the guys I started working with and later became a good mate, asked me where I came from and when I told him asked where the hell is that. Near Dubbo I told him so Dobbo I became and still remain.

OK - I'll wade in...

The weekend before I joined PP my wife and I were tasting some wine at Margaret River. At Tassell Park (a great place - recommended) they had a wine that was not normally for tasting and so had no printed tasting notes on the bar. I declared that it had a bouquet like Violets. My wife immediately declared I was full of sh*t and said 'How would you know what a violet smells like?'

The staff person on at the time was impressed and brought out the tasting notes from the office that said - 'A strong bouquet of violets'. So every time she thinks I am talking Sh*t she says - 'Yes Violet!'. (She seems to say that a lot)

Only a day so so later we were home and I was looking for a nick....

But I was thinking of changing....
