Board Names VS Real Names

[SapphireDreams 71]

My name is Jennifer, but I also go by Jenn.

I don't even know why I chose SapphireDreams... It's the first time I've used this screenname and probably the last!

[Pandora01 0]

My real name is Myriam. I chose Pandora01 as my screen name because looking up all the info for the visa procedure made me feel like I had opened Pandora's box, an endless suite of headaches and pains trying to figure everything out! The "01" is just because there was already another Pandora on the forum.

You can call me Myriam or Pandora01, I don't mind

[Carlawarla 1]

My name is Carla.

Okay, so here it goes. I was thinking the other day that some times I feel like SUCH a loser calling all of you by your screen names. It also takes a lot more effort to spell them when I want to refer to someone.

I know we use screen names for anonymity, but I just wanted to say that from now on please call me Mandy instead of thetreble It would make me feel so much better.

If any of you don't mind to be called by your first name, please put them here. If you do mind, then that is perfectly ok.

i prefer to be called by my screen name.

Hi Everyone,

Ok, no problem "thetreble" (by the way, why did you choose "thetreble" as a screen name?), I'll call you "Mandy" on VJ instead, since you prefer it that way .

Ahh my dear Ant. My nickname is the treble because my football club, Manchester United, won three European cups in 1999. They won the FA Cup, the UEFA Champions League and the Premiership all in the same year. We were unstoppable that year my love.

er, you can call me Kim. or K - just don't call me Kimmy if you want me to acknowledge you.

Hi Mandy,

Ahh...ok, so "The treble"=Manchester United. Got it. Thanks for the info. Yes, that team is famous, and are vey well known throughout the world. Now, if only "Soccer Football" would catch on as a popular sport in the USA and Canada. Lol...the only "football" that is known around here is NFL football and CFL football, which doesn't make sense that they would call it "football", as they don't use their feet/foot to play the game (well, except for the field goal kicker who kicks the "football" between the goalposts after a touchdown is scored).

Lol...yup, the English made more sense when they named the sport "football"! Maybe American/Canadian "football" should be called "handball" or "tackleball" instead?

Ant (Confused about "football", but not confused about "the treble"....)

P.S. By the way didn't David Beckem (I think I might have spelt his name wrong, you know that guy that married that Spice Girl) play for Manchester United too? And now he's with the LA Galaxy in the USA

Yeah, soccer dome Calgary! I used to drive by this a lot, it's very near where we were living in Calgary...ahh look at that brown grass!

[rupa 2]

Soccer dome!! I played there!!! Best memories were the corporate challenge. A bunch of companies fielding teams trying to beat the pants off each other. The best game was when we beat EnCana's super stacked team. My team was just a bunh of pencil pusher gov't regulators. It was awesome.

By the way, Rupa is my horse's name, but I prefer anonyminity. (sp?)

[Krikit 1,163]

By the way, Rupa is my horse's name, but I prefer anonyminity. (sp?)

Yes, because as soon as we hear your first name we're all going to immediately know who you are and where you live!

Yay for beating super stacked teams!

Yes indeed he did. He then played for Real Madrid and now the Galaxy. I saw him play in my younger years while in Manchester. I've also seen him now in New York when the Galaxy come this way. His talent level far surpases most MLS players so he really looks like he is in a league all of his own now. I wish he would have gone back to the Premiership at least but him and his wife wanted to take on LA I guess.

My dad's from glasgow so it's always been football to me. I played until I was 17. I've been a fan of united since I came out of the womb, as we say. I'm red through and through. haha Before the team got famous. I always have to tell people that or else they assume I'm a bandwagon supporter and that is just not true.
