Was thinking of changing my username on here? Although I found it not easy to come up with an alternative. . . .

No, I think I will stay with ‘horsinabout’, b*gger it! (Anglo Saxon).

Personally, I like your nick. And I could never change mine to "not fat like Mr Lemond" - since I've also had my weight problems. Just seems to happen to some of us.

But I like your nick - you like horses - we know that - so it fits.

not-fat-like GL was my humour, so too was the whole post. Going to give us the low down on Hero2, Hero2? Is that one of those handlebar gadgets?

Re fat, I took to jogging, which has now transposed into running As I am small, as in not tall, I need to a) put pad lock on fridge and b) run like the wind blows, so I don't turn into spacehopper. Hay found a new potential nickname

TWO new nicks! "run like the wind blows", and "spacehopper"!

I like "runlikethewindblows" best.

Hiero: Per Hiero Desteen, fictional hero for Sterling Lanier. Just a character name that caught my attention at some point. I used it in an MMPOG as a player. That char had some success, and I just carried it over. Unlike some rather famous and well-known cycling characters (like Jobst Brandt), I never felt comfortable revealing my true ID online. Jobst used to insist that to do otherwise made you some sort of automatic troll/maroon/Fred/lame-O. But, I never agreed.

Was thinking of changing my username on here? Although I found it not easy to come up with an alternative. For example, I don’t like usernames that donate a posters gender, such as, prefixes followed by ‘chick’ ‘girl’ or names prefixed with Miss or Missy, Mrs. Or something pretty like Lucy Lu or Lippy Lu… etcetera. If male, flip side of the coin are edifices like ‘big boy’, ‘bounty hunter’ or ‘bad ass’ give me the creeps. Then there is ‘fan boy/girl’ excruciating. All an exercise in exacerbating a stereotype. All a bit doggy!

So I thought – keep in mind neutrality. Keep it fairly real, anonymous is a preferred choice, helps with longevity. Or just go with something to do with your interests, or views on things and add some humour. This is ok. With neutral it could be a made up nonsense word or anagram. Interests maybe a favourite animal, writer or sport star hero, again ok – if it floats your boat. Views on thing will be self-evident.

So my initial thought was …. ‘cycling has become ridiculous’, but although donates a viewpoint, this is hardly neutral and not to mention the potential animosity this could cause given this is a cycling forum. Could always go with the popular ‘marginal gains’ instead.

Ok back with the personal, what about ‘used2bfast’ (all lower case) but found this to be a little self-deprecating to one’s current status, a bit like but worst still is ‘oldhasbeen’. What about something adventurous like ‘renegade’, or ‘daresay’, or silly like ‘heads-up’ ‘posts a junky’ or ‘crash dummy’ they might work!

Then I thought maybe I could introduce a famous cyclist into the equation, a bit like ‘Fearless Greg LeMond’, but not to copy right – do a spin on it like ‘Not-fat-like-Greg LeMond’, but then I figured a certain administrator might delete it.

No I think better still is ‘never- mind- the- boll*ocks’, this four word lexicon will also have copy right issues, so change to, ‘it’s all boll*ocks- so- never -mind’, yes that’s it!

These choices are long in structure though, but that didn’t stop the Welsh from naming a Town Llanfairpwll-gwyngyll-gogerych-wyrndrobwll-llantysiliogogogoch - meaning "St. Mary's Church in the hollow of white hazel near a rapid whirlpool and the Church of St. Tysilio near the red cave." Note: Double ll’s are pronounced with tong in roof of mouth then hiss like a cat, and you can even pull a face with it if you like. Similar are ch’s, only tong is placed to back of throat then hock back like you’re about to gob. A bit tricky ah! Just like said in the film Twin Town, “If all else fails try Wales” charming….. And the prolific usage of the ‘F’ Word in that film isn’t Welsh, but Anglo Saxon.

Now for all our American friends on here, and I know there are some. Wales is the bit of rock that juts out into the Irish Sea adjoining England due West. To the south it is separated by the Bristol Channel, it is a few miles from middle England both in distance and politics. And as demonstrated above, has its own language, a Celtic derivative or ancient British.

I decided to stop bothering reading that when I realised you're not able to distinguish between donate and denote.

It reminded me of the first interview I ever conducted, where the candidate repeatedly used the phrase 'high rate' which they obviously thought was what people were trying to say when they described someone as 'irate'.

Its really not too difficult is it?

lol . where there is a will there is a way .
Nice to see engineers thinking outside the box ( er aahh I ment roundabout)

Can you see the aerodynamics at work here ..... lmao
Small wonder that Triathletes always think the helmet should go the other way around .
That white dot on the tip of the alien life forms head is for a camera lense , so you can see where your going and have the added benefit of seeing behind you as well .

Point taken and thank you for the correction. You're a bit strict though, you remind me of a head teacher I once had who rapped my knuckles for spelling mistakes.

It is actually, that thing is closed (or was for the past 6 months) because it wasn't deemed safe enough.

Are you serious? Where is this thing in RL? And why would it not be "safe enough"? I mean - unless the structure itself was deemed unsafe - but that should close the highway beneath, too.

Bad fu*king karma for a cycling forum. Not funny.

Didn't bother to dig up the cat thread, so I'm posting it here:
