My kids laughed at me when I said I was using the handle (bit of cb terminology) 'Spelunker' for this site. I first came across the term back in 1984 when it was a title for a popular game on the Commodore 64. It is a term used for an underground explorer and I thought it would be a good reference to probably the only places on earth that an FF hasn't been to - unless anybody knows different. Anybody else out there who chose a handle for a particular reason? QUID FACIUM TIBI

I actually chose "supershuttle" for two reasons, it was also my CB handle back in the day

a. I was pretty good at Badminton
b. I spent a lot of time on the various BA Shuttles flying around this country. (days long gone, retired, as is the BA Shuttle service)

For a while I used "Aldus the Novice" based on a product I sold (Aldus Pagemaker) before "supershuttle" Maybe I should have kept the novice bit  Geoff

'The Mule' is a character from Isaac Asimov's Foundation books. He rules a galactic empire with the use of mind control techniques. He was eventually defeated by the Foundation whose mathematical techniques had predicted the possibility centuries previously.

Chose mine many years ago when Duracell batteries came on the market. At the time I also had a copper coloured top and I have been told by my wife that I can go on and on and....not sure what she means Not so much colour at the top but I guess I can still go on and on and on and on.... Oh and the 777? had to have a number as Duracell was taken, so 777 was easy to type quickly

My ex missus chose my name. We had a Sport and the FF at the time, and she always referred to them as the Big Boy and Little Boy The R44 bit refers to the reg number. She thought it would be funny when someone replied back.(Hi Big Boy!!) that's why she's an ex !! Maybe time for a name change  Tony

Emperor Mong is the malevolent voice inside your head which persuades one that a spectacularly stupid idea is really a great one (e.g. why don't I buy another Range Rover: they are reliable cheap and don't depreciate - nothing can go wrong and my wife won't shout at me even a little bit):
