    From the film Mr Deeds. My sisters and some friends claim I was like the title character. They started calling me Deedsie. I liked it then. Kinda ridiculous name now. Good and anonymous though.

    On a whim, wanted to be anonymous, but if anyone who knows me read my posts (i doubt anyone does) they'd know who i am.

    I wish i had of picked "ChinBallBoy" or "BallChinBoy" just because :(

    Should you not have called yourself 'thegaz' then? Or at the very least got Gazza to change his name to Paul Bascoigne.

    † Appearances (Goals).
    Victor Martin Watson (10 November 1897 Girton, Cambridgeshire – 3 August 1988 Girton, Cambridgeshire) was an English footballer who played most of his club football for West Ham United.
    Watson, a centre forward, played 505 times for West Ham between 1920 and 1936. The club paid just £50 for Vic from Wellingborough, bringing him in to provide cover for Syd Puddefoot.[2]
    Vic Watson is the club's record goalscorer with 326 goals, a feat unlikely to be bettered in the modern era. He once scored six, in an 8-2 home win against Leeds on 9 February 1929, scored four goals on three occasions, and managed 13 hat-tricks while at West Ham.
    Watson gained two international caps with England in 1923 and a further three caps in 1930, scoring four goals in total, including two against Scotland in the 1930 British Home Championship.
    He spent one season (1935-36) with Southampton before retiring and he was the club's top scorer with 14 goals in 36 league appearances.
    Upon retiring, he became a market gardener in Girton. He died in August 1988 at the age of 90.
    In June 2010 a plaque honoring Watson was unveiled in Girton.

    Er......Mam ? Can you help me with a question I've seen on boards ?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,975 ✭✭✭W.Shakes-Beer


    I set up this account in 2008 when I was doing my leaving, Shakespeare was on the English course at the time and I probably joined to ask a question about English, thinking I'd be funny HAWHAHHAW! probably a dumb username but it has grown on me.

    My account then sat dormant for most of 2008/2009 until one day I took an interest in AH and the rest is history.

    What started out during my leaving is still with me as I go into my final year in college!
