Since them, I've been using the name "Biggins" as an ironic pun. "Biggins" sounds harmless and evokes images of a bungling fool - sometimes an image I wish to reflect while I go about doing work more effectively and quietly.

I always thought it was from the character in the book [a pilot] from the 40's I think it was

ScumLord

I was at the dump looking for a new hat when I came across this box of Japanese detergent called scumlord that had my face on it. I did enquire about it with the company but it turned out to be the result of a joint venture between two large Japanese conglomerates, Matsumura happy potato food Inc. and Tamaribuchi industrial mops Concern. Their mascots, a smiling potato and industrial mop, merge together to form scumlord the similarity was a mere coincidence but I used the name scumlord online now because of it.

I can't wear matching socks. Well I can, I choose not to, because generally they're all odd ones. I have a LOT of stripy socks, so wearing a pink stripy one with a green stripy one is the closest to a 'pair' of socks I generally get

G.K.

Gary Kelly, the Leeds and Ireland Right Back, is my favourite football player. From there it is obvious.

I had a much older account but when Boards was hacked back in whenever, I no longer had the details of the e-mail adress linked to my original Boards account, so I had to set up a new one, hence 2nd Coming!

The question is, who was I originally?

There was this cartoon the Pinky and the brain,which i loved like 15 years ago,and when internet cafes started popping up,i remember before getting a place to sit beside the one if it was full,they would ask your name or nickname to reserve you a place,so me and my friend were like pinky and the brain after a while they even knew us even without telling them its us :pac:

Sleep Comes Tomorrow was my handle on most other sites but it was too many characters for a boards account when I signed up so I shortened it.
