So many people are so wrong about so many things, I feel it is my moral duty to put them right. This I do by keeping things real.

Shortly before I signed up on here, my wife was at a function and another woman was trying to place her husband (me!), and she said "is he the guy with the gravelly voice" which my missus found hilarious and it stuck in my mind.

I love Bertie but every time someone says or posts his name he gets a brown envelope so my name epitomises everything he stands for without him getting a brown envelope he's a durty burty

The variety of interpretation in renaissance art of the Roman myth of Lucretia and Tarquin is terrific and endlessly fascinating, some painters choosing the rape to tell the story, others, her suicide. The rape ones are the key ones though, portraying the core of the myth and having more dramatic scope, as well as being the most thought provoking on the excesses of tyrannical power and empire. Gentileschi, Cagnacci, Titian, Botticelli, and many more.

Or maybe they just have a different opinion on things compared to yours, and who gets to decide what's right or wrong?

Spur of the moment thing. One partner is freelance and makes our family tax returns mad complicated - I was doing stuff of that nature when I signed up to boards. And hating every piece of Irish tax law I turned the word "Tax accrual" into "cruel" because that is how it felt. Then added AH as in "ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh" not as in "After Hours".

Boring but usefully unique. Though someone did once join the forum as taxAHgruel and then never posted. Always wondered that the intentions were there.

"Victor" was already taken and I had just bought this nice powerful laptop: Dell Inspiron 8600.

By the way, that laptop (14 years ago) had the WUXGA resolution (1920×1200) for its 15.4" screen. Most popular desktop monitors today at 24" have the pitiful 1080 line horizontal "Full HD" resolution :rolleyes:

Oh, so it’s not from the Latin lesson near the start of Dead Poets Society?
