What motivated you to be called you?

Corkscrew...does that mean you collect corkscrews as in the picture?

I took my name in the hopes that someone would make a thread asking why. My hope is fulfilled.

My favourite ex-wife (as she calls herself - because I have three, and don't communicate with the others!!) thinks that I have always led the life of Riley, hence my TV moniker Riley'sLife. Also, I think that it's the only kind of life to lead.

Mine is just web (as in World Wide Web) spelled forward and then inverted. There's a proper term to define this practice but I don't remember what it is.

Dyslexia

Nickname started when I was 11.

Every kid was stealing apples and getting sick from eating so much. Then leaving the rest to rot so I came up with the idea of selling them around local estates with an old kid’s pram hence the name bizz

Business. My first.

What motivated you to be called you?

Pretty simple. My last name is Prince. And I'm a foreigner living part of the year in Thailand -- hence the name Farang Prince.

And the Golden Retriever in my icon is identical to one I used to have when I lived in the USA. She was a wonderful companion.

What motivated you to be called you?

chose my pic because of twisted logic

it's about time the young (legal) pussy got held to ransome by the older farang

instead of the Thai reality of the other way round

Nah i love catz both 2legged and four

and the pic makes me larf every time i see it

it's entitled "cat burglar"

as for the name given to me by a beautiful girl caddy at Bhurahapa? as on my first hole

(on a golf course in thailand,you smut moungerers )

because I hit every bunker (all 5) on the hole

and she said I was like someone hopping from hole to hole(meaning bunker)

(bit like my bar exploits according to my Thai sister-in-law )

"you play like a jumping animal" (nearly burst out laughing when she said that!)

and her friend said "No .. him... Jing-jo in english Kangaroo yes him Jing-jo "

I really liked the name and it has stuck

and my Thai neice loves the name as she couldnt say my boring english one

that`s pretty good.

mine is ... oh.. it`s a long story... another day perhaps.

Well I had a choice from 3 National Symbols of my home Country. Leekman and Daffodilman did not have the same ring to them.

Mine is simply one of my businesses. In Thai, although it is one of the professions prohibited to foreigners.

Quite simple: I stay in the Rajah Mansion, Soi Nana. That's it

Goldenbead was my father's pet name for me.

One of my all time favourite songs. It was either that or "Mack The Knife"

Crickey - what a question!

In my case its because I have been farming for the last 20 years in Thailand - and Maize is my main crop (to feed my dairy and beef cattle) - so I called myself Maizefarmer.

It was on the spur of the moment - hadnt given it much thought - should have used "Milkman"

Tim

People used to pay me to do various things to others that had upset them.

My speciality was cigarette burns.

Mine is the name of my Tumbon.

I think there is only 2 other Thai Visa members who have been there, one being Mr Lampard, the other my wife.

simple - My nickname is Benny

I hope that I never upset any of your friends CB .............!

Mine came to me when, many years ago, I wrote a program to teach how to read/write Thai for my personal use. Others (usenet at the time, when SCT was civilized) were interested so had to come up with a company name to sell it as shareware (more like donateware at the time. ) A little play on words so it can be pronounced two ways "Thai ways" or "Thai wise" (or Thai wais - as in the hand position showing respect).
