    Any regret picking their user name? I want to change mine but I'm too stingy to become a subscriber.

    Absolutely none. To the informed few it gives me an air of scholarly gravitas which I in no way actually deserve. To the ill informed, im something to do with farming and popular soft drinks. To everyone combined, I am a faceless irrelevance..... :(

    Only when I tried to introduce myself at the last Boards Beers :o

    Didn't want to shout across the table so I thought it'd be better if I whispered into Balfies ear. In hindsight, that wasn't the best option either.

    In hindsight, I may have went just a tad a bit overboard with the a's.

    I regretted my first username! But I like this one. I mentioned I was going to change it recently and I got given out to, so it stays :D

    Now, if I wanted to change it, and I didn't want to subsribe forever, I'd subscribe for one month (a fiver) and then unsubscribe!

    So I could pay a fiver, add the missing A from my username, and that's it?

    I didn't want to pick my name cos theres a lot of nutters on this internet thing or so i've heard.

    I succeeded in not picking my name so that was some result.

    When people mention my username in a post there's only a 1:3 chance they'll spell it correctly.

    The two most popular misspellings are "Senchmall" and "Serchmall".

    That's the only issue I have with my username (and it's a small one), all-in-all I'm happy out with it.

    Initially i thought i was funny.. now i'm not. I dont think a lot of people knew who Attilio Lombardo was.

    For those who don't, educate yourselves here!:
