Hi all,

I was just wondering when playing last night, what made everyone choose their table name?

Mine is fascinating; My name is Izzy Steer.

    Hi izzy, this should be an interesting thread, so here is my reasons for my alias..
    when I started work as an apprentice mechanic I was quiet dangerous with sharp objects and hammers, and the other mechanics gave me the nick name dangerousdai, as there where 2 davids already working there.. 
    This had to be slightly shortened for sky so it had to be dangerdai, 
    Good luck at the tables..

    Stupidity.
    Seeing as this character was on TV in the 70s I just know at some point I'm going to have to ask Customer Services to rename me...

    As a lifelong fan of Plymouth Argyle, and thus a member of the Green Army, the choice was obvious so, like the previous poster, the answer is stupidity.

    My kids are (Ma)tt (Ca)rl and (C)allum.
    I use Macac as part of all online usernames, as it's easy to remember.
    One of the boys registered me here, did the process and he chose girl1 to follow Macac.
    I mentioned in a previous thread, the same delightful young man chose my online banking username. Macacbumface.

    Hi Izzy 

    Many moons ago, a guy I worked with called me Pudding. Not sure why, but who knows the inner workings of a man's mind ;~)

    Anywho, when I met my beloved, he called me pudding too. So I have a squishy, sweet nickname and it stuck :)

    I often played in a poker club in the Philippines called 'Double A's' so I thought id use that name but added a 3rd A on for good measure :)

    Mine came from my sky sports dream team name "jdsallstarS". When I signed up to sky poker i got a little confused during the sign up process and somehow typed my team name in again but  the full name didn't fit so "jdsallstar" was born. 

    Regretted that moment ever since lol it's a bit like wearing fluorescent pink football boots you have to actually be good to get away with it. Sigh

    Mine is because of my love for one of the greatest singers around. Such a beautiful voice for such a big guy. How, or why he never appears in UK top 40 nowadays is one of life's mysteries!

    LONG LIVE RIK!!!!

    So does this mean that if we all call you Rik you won't do one now you've learnt to embrace it?

    Mine's totally original and I was greatly honoured when Zhang Yimou named his epic film House Of Flying Daggers after me
