I am sark because I was watching an episode of ALIAS.  The bad guy from ALIAS is called Sark.  I couldn't really think of a name and didn't want to use my real name, Lewis.  So that is why I got it.  There was no real thought in it, it just happened. I am glad I wasn't watching BARBIE the cartoon or the Teletubbies.. :D

The 79 part is the year I was born, well two days before the end of 1979.  

I was Sark on pokerstars and VC. So I just kept it for Blonde.

Poppet - My dad used to call me that when I was a little girl, he doesn't talk to me now but I still like it, I suppose it reminds me of the good old days. the 7 is because thats the day I met Leon so thats our special number (7.4.2001)

A Gilbern is a Welsh make of car. Or was.

My dad had one and now it's mine. (Although it's still in his name but I've stripped it into a thousand pieces and now he doesn't want it back, and none of us are Welsh btw).

And it was registered in 1974.


And so Gilbern74 was born.

When I first started playing on VC my ID was Ginger***** (yes, with the stars) naturally it got shortened to Ginger which I use on the majority of the sites. I think the name is pretty much self explanatory lol. Mind you, most of the red in my hair has gone now, Booooo.

Post by: Dirk Diggler on March 08, 2006, 11:58:08 AM
Dirk Diggler is the lead character name from the film 'Boogie Nights'.  It's one of my fav films - it's soooo cheesey, cheeseey lines, acting, clothes, music etc... and I just love all that!....

For those who don't know it's a film about an ordinary boy (played by Mark Whalberg) being discovered by a porn film director and he wants to make the guy a star - he has a 'huge' talent you see.....they come up with the screen mane for him of 'Dirk Diggler'  He then goes on to be a star, and has a great time, money, girls, fame etc.........(forget about the bit when he becomes too big for his boots and a complete arse, a druggie etc!!......)

My quote at the bottom is a quote of his from the film.

Go hit Blockbusters...

for years I have been affectionality known as Lazarus, after an incident in 1996 in Amsterdam involving much drink and the other stuff, a pancake shop, a pair of black patent leather shoess and some columbians.

I cant remember exactly when but at some pont someone started calling me lazaroonie (like a combination of lazarus and shockeroonie - a particularly west of scotland expression).

so thats it.

Mine is boring!

Claw used to be my login at work (first initial and first three letters of my (then) surname).  75 is the year I was born.  I was going to use Clairep75 when I signed up to betfair (which is my usual name for forums and the like), but had to have a different nickname for playing with.  Am quite pleased about it now as having an androgynous name can be an advantage.

i have 3 different usernames 

  The Claimer--------- My mate rang me and told me he had a new job working for a claims firm, so i thought The Claimer----that'll do


 Action1----------- action man derives from a toy hat from an action man figure given to me by a man in the bookies i used to work.


Awol7967----------- the 7967 was my old clock-in number at a factory i worked in for a while when i went broke in poker. When i got back on track i was off work a lot when having a good
                         poker session, so thats the awol. The name is always good to remind me of the crappy job i used to do for money

mexico66, after the Mk1 ford escort which i love, 66 as i had to add at least 1 no and that was that, plus it tilts US players as they hate mexicains or at least they seem to.

Platy on other sites, as a platy is a small colourful mexicain fish.( so as to give a clue to my id on blu sqr)

Most people refer to me as mex at the tables.

The kids show Pokemon actually means Pocket Monster, which in poker means......well, you know.   So i thought Pokermon would be a hilarious play on words.   Sadly someone equally unfunny had beaten me to it, two 'r's look a bit like a 'm', so even though my name is Anthony, I went for Pokerron and it stuck.   I actually answer to the name Ronnie now!

Given my form on here I am thinking of changing my id to "The Thread Killer"  :D

My name was used because I own the website www dot cybertims dot com   (hehe didn't want to get in trouble for posting the link)

I also own www dot muffdivingclub dot com but reckoned that was not appropriate...   Oh and for informational purposes  MUFF is a place on the North coast of Northern Ireland which does actually have a diving club..   :D.   hmmmm   might just change my name now   hehe



btw that domain name is for sale if anyone fancies it  <grin>

On all the sites I am registered on, I am known as Jackspratt or I Jack.  A sprat is a fish...which describes my playing ability. The two t's matches my typing skills.   My name isn't Jack in real life.. as I'm typing I think ...why? (seemed like a good idea at the time)

I was on holiday in Zante with my mates many years ago. We all hired mopeds, but unfortunately mine was the slowest bike in the history of slow bikes.

My mates had to slow down for me most of the time, but sometimes they stopped at a roadside cafe / bar and had a drink while they waited for me to catch up, even though I was on full throttle at all times. I'm not a natural on a motor bike, so I had to concentrate on just staying on the bloody thing most of the time, and more often than not, I wouldn't notice them as I trundled past as fast as my little bike could go.

Cue much hilarity for them, and "Onespeedo" for me for a fortnight.

i used to play a lot of online RPG games and had 3 names that I used: Tanis, Mmenoch and Stallyon

Tanis is taken from the Dragonlance books (he was actually called Tanis Half-Elven)

Mmenoch is taken from a book from by Anne Rice which follows on from Interview With A Vampire

and Stallyon is taken from Bill and Teds band name Wyld Stallyons and is also the nickname given to me by a couple of ex-girlfriends

I use to get called this in the office when i had a proper job. The payroll manager (who i sat next to) had the same sirname as me.  Everyone thought we were father and son at first so he just started calling me junior - within weeks it just stuck.  It seemed pretty appropriate as i have always been the youngest person in the circles i mixed (i.e. down the golf club, at work and in poker rooms).

pretty boring really but the question was asked.

No, if you look closely enough you'll notice that this air guitar is a cheap imitation whereas mine was the real thing...
