There are a variety of different usernames on here and various other bond forums. Question to everyone: What was the reason for the username you chose?

Katie D.

I chose Skywalker simply because I love Star Wars and it's a cool sounding name.

My name is made up. It just rolled off the tounge and ended up as a username. I pronounce it as "stocks-liv-on". I even made a second alias, Navevilskcots. Guess where that came from.

I'm half-Greek, so I chose the name of a Greek character from the Bondverse.

I'm a big Sweeney fan.

My other name - jet set willy, was taken from an old 80's ZX Spectrum computer game which I loved.

I couldn't think of a name so I just used the name of the forum Dcnb but inverted the letters. Daniel Craig Bond not?

Well i use 'English_Agent' on other sites, and i did here for a while (its appropriate for the topic in mind), but i changed my name to 'Arthur Brain' after i was having logging on problems.................anyway i've only got half a brain!

'stockslivevan'................ i must admit your username bugged me to work out what it meant...............and your explanation here is as clear as mud

................i thought it was something to do with your work..............and
i had this impression of you driving around in an old van selling groceries!!

From Wikipedia:

"Dominic Flandry is the central character in the second half of Poul Anderson's Technic History science fiction. The space opera series is set in the thirty-first century, during the waning days of the Terran Empire. Flandry is a dashing field agent of the Imperial Intelligence Corps who travels the stars to fight off imminent security threats to the empire from both external enemies and internal treachery. His long-time archenemy is Aycharaych, a cultured but ruthless telepathic spymaster who weaves plots for the expansionistic, rival empire of the alien Merseians. Similar to James Bond, every new adventure brings Flandry another beautiful damsel to woo and rescue.

Flandry is a flawed hero who is not above partaking in the pleasures offered by his society's decadence. The illegitimate son of a minor nobleman, he rose to considerable power within the decadent Empire by his own wits, and enjoys all the pleasures his position gives him. Still he is painfully conscious of the impending fall of the Terran Empire. His career is dedicated to holding off for as long as possible the empire's inevitable final collapse.."

Ahh, memories. I downloaded a fan remake of Atic Atac (one of my favourite Speccy games). I'll have to see if I can find the link.
