So How Did You Come Up With Your User Name

Ole ... as one of your original Members (RedAnt if I recall) t'was a brilliant website. Never forget your 'no surrender/no fear' responses to Millwall and Baadiff ealy-day cyber bullies.

Current name locational .. as I type this looking one way up to Dartmoor the other, down the estuary, to Shaldon and the sea. While some distance from Mecca there's surprisingly a high number of cidereds around.

...whereas I am NOT a member of Red Army Faction.

Used to be Redskin years ago, but somehow lost that along the way. Red Army was taken so just stuck Faction on the end - usually find myself and my views on the margin of those on here so probably quite apt.

Follower of the mighty reds and The Clash (remember Joe's RAF T shirt?) rather than the Baader Meinhoff gang. Mind you there are some rich bankers and industrialists that could do with some re-education these days. Life was much simpler in the 70s.

COYR.

I have a copy of that very t-shirt. The internet is awash with subtle Clash references. I was City Rocker on this and other football sites as early as 1998/99. After a while a Plymouth City Rocker emerged on the boards, then Brighton City Rocker, and then a Swansea one. I still fervently maintain though that I am the original and best :cool2:

Perhaps a little disappointingly, I am named after a ficticious racehorse in the mid-90s spoof tv news show The Day Today.

Alan Partridge (for it was he) repeatedly yelling "ALF RAMSEY'S PORN DUNGEON!" during his race commentary has for some reason stayed with me over the years. I guess you had to be there :tumbleweed:

No, that is one of the funniest sketches around, it gets quoted in my friendship group frequently!!

I preferred his football commentary one though... "He's got a foot like a traction engine!"

Loderingo is one of the people in hell in Dante's Inferno. I was studying it at uni when I first started using t'internet and have kept the name for everything ever since. It's pretty unique at least!

My nickname comes from a once popular children's story book about red goblins from over 45 years ago. My Mother was pushing me in my pushchair up Chessels Street and some girls skipping called me a 'Red Goblin' because I was wearing a red bobble hat. Before that I was 'Blair_hater' on this forum for my hatred of the anti working man, anti-English, and Cultural Marxist type college boys like corrupt lawyer Tony Blair that infest the present day Labour Party.

Chris Morris is genius.

I had you down as something much more exciting. Like one of Uncle Joe Stalin's Red Army men that took liberties in Berlin during April/May 1945. Or maybe a hero of RAF Bomber Command doing the business and raining bombs over the last European Union project that was Herr Adolf Hitler's 3rd Reich.

Basically, saw EastEnders one day about 10 years ago (I know, I know a real shameful element of past- never watch that crap now ;))- and the long running joke about Mr Oppodopolous and the dodgy mispronounciations kept coming up. Adopted it on a forum one day and basically it stuck!

On New Year's Day 1997, the mighty Saints were at home to Dundee. Saints were in the middle of a mighty run that would end in promotion. At half-time the score was 1-1, with the general consensus among the Saints fans being that we were fortunate to be level and would settle for a point, being that were clear at the top and Dundee were on of the few teams who might be able to catch us. 45 glorious minutes later, we had rattled in six marvellous goals to win 7-2. It was easily my favourite day in 40-plus years of following my team. A couple of other things added to the enjoyment and fun of the day:

1. Chic Charnley (Dundee cult hero/Saints fans hate figure) was sent off for punching one of his team-mates after goal number six went in.

2. Dundee's 2nd goal was a penalty in the last minute. All dundee fans had by this time left the ground, leaving their scarves behind. A young sub (name I have long forgotten) scored it and then proceeded to run behind the goal and celebrate as if he had hit a Cup Final winner. The Saints fans cheered as if we had scored again.

Hope this answers the question :laughcont:

"Tw*t! That was liquid football!" :laughcont:

Re: names.

I used to be SW19 Red but then I moved from Wimbledon and had to rapidly think of something else.

Adopting the moniker of a 70s trade union leader unfortunately has led to mix-ups with Robbored. If only I had known...
