What is behind your choice of forum user name?

just curious how we all think.. what prompted or influenced your choice of username for this forum?.

there are some really amazing names, and it would be great to hear the stories behind them.... mine was nothing fancy.

i just felt "stuck in a rut too" along with so many others.

A First for Mrs Phizzy !

by Phizzy in

mrs phizzy voted for the first time today !

we have been out for nearly a decade now, but this is the first time mrs phizzy has been persuaded to vote.. she was always afraid that jw's would see her, and then df her for it, i explained (again, we have been over this before) that they would not do so, and my son had a word in her ear too, which did the trick.. she came out of the polling station and said to me "i voted for someone called teresa may, who is she ?".

trying to wind me up, but i knew the wicked witch of westminster was not on our ballot sheet.

i havent voted for years--simply because where i live is true blue tory--whereas i'm a born-in labour oik---so no point.

but today--i voted. a protest tactical vote. still a waste of time--but at least i can justify saying i told you so in months to come.
