change of name

[Nigel Rainton]

Hello everyone,

Mark has kindly changed my username, Sofasurfer, to my real name. When I joined the forum I thought it was mandatory to have a username other than my own. As I spent far too much time on the sofa surfing TFF, I thought my old username would be appropriate. I now know that it is a modern term used to describe a homeless person who sleeps on friends sofas

Also, as my internet presence expanded, it became confusing for me to have two identities.

Regards
Nigel

A good decision Nigel, I much prefer to call chaps by there real name

[Dave Burr]

Language moves with the times and yes, now is an appropriate moment to come out from behind your friend's sofa

Well done Nigel

[Snape]

To make it more clear but preserving anonymity you could have had Couch Potato!

[Duebel]

It will take some time to get used to the new name! I liked "Sofasurfer", Nigel.

[Lea Dweller]

A change is as good as a rest Nigel!

[Nigel Rainton]

Thanks guys, Couch Potato would have been a better username, particularly on days like today when the rain is thundering on the roof of my Defender as I head to the lakes :-(

Nothing like a good drop of rain on the Landy roof to keep you awake whilst driving

Good choice Nigel. Especially in such a friendly and positive environment I have never understood the choice of people not to discuss our hobby ( passion) using their real name.

Will others come across from the " Dark side"?

RBT - if only the rain would stay outside the Defender, I have to drive in wellies when it's raining, at least it washes the mud out of the footwells.

IRM - This is a safe place but it's visible to everyone via Google including Storm Troopers.
