What does your username mean/ why did you pick it?

The Pheasant2

Reference to a bit by Dara O'Briain which I found amusing at the time; 2 because I was locked out of my first account.

The song was just in my head when I signed up. I initially thought that you could change your username on demand.

mosi

Mine refers to Mosi oa Tunya, the local name for Victoria Falls which translates as "the smoke that thunders". I have great memories of visiting there. Mosi is also the name of the beer I enjoyed on many an evening in Zambia.

Read into my username what you want.

The Oort Cloud

My user-name is in relation to 'Out There' beyond the dwarf Pluto planet, out in the cold where comets reside looking in on this planet and its workings. It's cold out there.

From afar I see turbulence in Ireland in regards to people having to work in the year 2017, and also feeling the disturbance of government control forwarded upon the citizens also controlled by the big banks of which can-not-fail whether death to the citizens.

Looking down upon my fellow spiritual beings, I see forgetfulness. Let me enlighten you...

Do you remember the previous recession when the same arse-holes FF/FG/LB collectively shut down most of the Garda stations and especially the one's in the rural area's... The government at the time showed clarity that they didn't give a **** about you or its country's citizens, they just cleaned you out for the failed banks and left you with what you currently had and not much protection from the states justice system in regards to the closure of garda stations nation-wide of which a lot of rural folk suffered dearly, even death from burglaries and the many suicides that commenced thereafter. An Irish tragedy.

Remember the un-guaranteed bond holders that took a bet and then lost and then went back to the bookies/government and wanted their money back from 'you', even though they betted and lost, they got it all back. That would be like you as an individual walking in to the bookies and putting a bet on a horse to come in, but your horse did not win, so you lost the bet. Imagine you going back into the bookies and saying to them that you lost the bet but you still want your money back... you would be called crazy and thrown out of the premises. The government paid them off from your money added to the tune of a few generations of your children's payments as well. Day-light robbery.

Apple owes virtually all of the 13 Billion to Ireland from back-taxes according to Margrethe Vestager, but do you think your government has your best interests at heart again ? The monies owed in tax to Ireland from apple are 'fort-knoxed' and it would possibly take an act of god for our government to release this owed money back into the Irish economy of which it should be, as it is owed money to the Irish state in taxes. Your government shows that it has other interests at hand other than the citizens of Ireland.

We are sold out now for being the folk with too much work to do and bill worries that you just do not have time to collectively as a nation pull the plug on these same old corrupt government politicians. Who votes for corrupt politicians that do not have the best interests of it's citizens at hand ?.

Ah sure you might say that it will be alright next year, that's the saying. The same old acceptance of indoctrinated mental slavery being forwarded from the heads/elites to the little folk that are too busy in their daily lives to even have a second of spare time to ponder this, but most will always submit to the on-high.


Minimal Capacity of time to realistically think. Too little time to think, your life is too busy to think about this. If I think about it it would drive me mad as I haven't the time. I can't find the time to think or do anything about it, I am too busy. I have more important things to think about. Let some-one else deal with it I'm too busy again. And the circle goes around and around for infinity.

Winterlong

I had this version of this song stuck in my head at the time of signing up.

LordSutch

My name is borrowed from the political, musical & colourful anarchist known as Screaming Lord Sutch of the Monster Raving Loony Party!

Some posters will remember him in top hat & colourful costume, appearing at the count centres on election night TV over the years.....

The real sutch is no longer with us, and I too will be bowing out 'from these pages' soon. I'm told his party 'the Monster Raving loony party' continues to exist with a new leader.

Atoms for Peace

Sounds nice and cuddly initially while in reality being quite cynical and sarcastically passive aggresive, perfect so for the interweb .

Atoms for peace was a US programme that set out to repurpose nuclear energy for peaceful uses, wasn't entirely successful though as it resulted in the proliferation of nuclear technology.

Oh and it's also the name of a supergroup featuring Thom Yorke of Radiohead.

The lesser known "Luke, I am your mother."

I wanted to be among the first listed in the active users' list (starts with a "a"). The number seven is because it was just beside six and six was after five.
A boardsie to remember...

The lad that went to find the treasure in the goonies but ended up being killed by a booby trap and the kids found his skeletal remains in a tunnel

andekwarhola

Was rereading the Bockris biography of Andy Warhol when I signed up.

Avatar MIA

After a time away and a closed account I wanted to reuse my old avatar, but for the life of me I couldn't remember exactly how I made it. It was a small section from an art work showing an eye that could also be mistaken for the moon and cloud. So, if I couldn't have that...

My name is the boringest on boards.
I tried for TropicAnna but it was taken, the bitch.
I got fed up and settled for whatever was left

TG1

A conversation myself and a friend had musing on how many dogs were actually involved in the top gear dog that appeared in a few episodes...

We figured they had topgear1, 2, 3 etc.

So top gear 1 = the original dog... It made sense at the time!
