    From Harry Enfield and Chums - The Slobs. Wayne and Waynetta were discussing what to name their new baby (the eldest being Frogmella). It was a choice of Canoe, like Keanu Reeves, or Spudulika - "Because it's exotic". It stuck in my head since and it's just one of those classic pair of comedy characters that there has to be something related to them on foot.ie. The sketch where Wayne is thrown out for loving his children too much and Waynetta not having a "braahn" baby (they were brown but that was just dirt), he rocks up at Naomi Campbells house, then runs away on her telling her she's too fat, she then turns up and offers him one of his sextuplets. Classical!

    That still annoys me to be honest.

    I could say ex- Cork City striker Denis Behan was the inspiration behind my username - But the sad truth is the name sums up my limitations as a player.

    I most likely answered this years ago but the sad and shameful fact is ...I am a Commodore. I go once, twice, three times a season.

    Just ask the Three Little Pigs. That's how I roll.

    P.S - that story was altered in order to present a "happy ending".

    Stupidly(and definitely boring), I was drinking when I signed up and for some odd reason I used the name of the cul de sac I live in as a username. Smart move, I should sign up a new account but as I have only one email address I think I'm stuck with horton. Oh well.

    I put hours of thought into mine...

    Think I'd like to change it but the pressure of coming up with a new one would break me.

    If i ever leave the club i play for ill change it.

    Obviously enough, I really like the Back To The Future movies.

    I used have 'Barely Legal', until I got it changed. I thought it suggested that I lived just within the rules, but one day realised it made me look like more of a pervert, which i'm not

    Fair point. There's being a pervert and being a total knobber like.
