In my defence I have a little issue with seeing words backwards. I'm off to hide in shame now.

Ask 'Admin' to help - he's quite handy at that webby stuff.It's not "Butterkist, butterkist, ra ra ra!" is it? (I wanted to post a video link but can't seem to find it online anywhere -)

That reminds me of a joke from Alan Partridge on one of his phone-ins...If I used my real name people would figure out who I am and where I live!
"Ladies and gentleman, the next caller on the line feels that he may well be 'a gay'. To preserve his anonymity, he will be referred to by his first name only; we're speaking to 'Domingo' in Little Oakley. Hello, Domingo...oh, it appears he's hung up. There's a lovely tapas bar if you're ever in Little Oakley, by the way..."

Most certainly not!Was that bit aimed at Arch?
I tend to recognise people mostly by their avatars and also dislike it when they change. I rarely remember their user name or real name even when I know them in real life.

How do you address them? "hey, you, Jimmy"?
Yes, and I'm fed up with telling him my name's not Jimmy....

Many years ago, when i first got to Glasgow as a city newbie, I saw a guy in the street hailing a taxi in town, the driver told him he was going to pick up, so the guy said " ok, come back for me, Jimmy" - meaning, after drop off.
So I asked my friend: how did that guy know the random taxi driver's name?

Naw, I just say, 'Hey, ummmm....'How do you address them? "hey, you, Jimmy"?
I do have to stop and think sometimes before I call out to Arch, one day I will call her something other then her actual name.

Be very careful not to call her late for dinner!
