Reply With QuoteMy friends gave me my nickname due to the amount of traveling I do on the water-named after Alby Mangels,(for most its probably too long ago-ask Charley-he'll know)however when I put it on paper I cant spell so stuffed it up.
The Gurn ... Apart from being the first four letters of my surname, I've no idea why people call me that.
They just started a long time ago and never stopped.
Absolutely, definately nothing in common with The Fonz.
Still, it's way better than my teenage nicknames. SPUD and EGG

Mine came from our cartoon series that we sold to a US company, it was called Igutso, about some crazy Japanese game show veteran, so i called myself that here, anyway one night i searched for the name and up came all these posts on Ausfish, bugger....
well i didnt think that this large US Company would appreciate that when/if they launched the series so I changed the name to Aigutso (Japanese version of it) anyway the show didnt go anywhere, new CEO came in and chopped the division that bought it so its sitting in a vault somewhere. I still prefer the old name and i might use it as a boatname someday.

How did you get your on-line name?
There are some great names on here. I'd like to know the background of these names, if anyone wants to share.
For instance, I've gone with my real name. It helps if I forget who I am. And putting 'Who am I?" into Google simply confuses me more.
I went to bali in 2011 and came back with a huge scorpion tatoo. It earned me the name scorpo on few building sites. 92 is he year of my birth.
Mines just a nickname shortened from my last name and the day I was born.
How boring do I feel right now haha

I write a column for a fishing mag, but the name originate when I was working for the AbC in radio and put pieces together talking to fisho's around the state for five or so years. Went with sheik of the creek in homage to chad. then wrote for local paper for two or three years, now with QFM. relate teh experience of fishing with five mates, and how hopeless we can be at times. We call ourselves the Dudds
There is a similar thread started quite some time ago on this very subject. Use the Advanced search to find it.. think it is in General Chat.

Mines the first initial of me and the crew, Nic Seth and Lauren.
That's a nice fish you caught... Do you mind if I use it for bait.
Before I bought my boat and I was looking at magazines etc my wife would walk past and say " Are you still dreaming?". When I am planning fishing trips I get you still dreaming? So seemed pretty logical my avatar should be still dreamin.
I like to fish as light as possible
