My name is a quote from Cold Feet when David stiffed Adam with the bill at a wine bar. It became a bit of a catchphrase between my husband and I and it was around this time we got our first computer and started needing usernames for various things so I started using it. Not sure I would have used it if I knew it would be something that followed me around forever but I just can't be bothered with having different names for everything I'm a member of.

The avatar is just a pic that was on my computer that seemed the right kind of size. Should really find a better one but I do love animals so I suppose it's as relevant as anything else really.

I was "Union" on one of the Vegas boards I frequented, at the time I needed a user name, looked around, my keys were on my desk and one of them was branded Union, which I thought was a decent name. Just added "TheNew" as the name was taken on some of the other board I went on and have used it since.

The Avi is me avoiding the sun and dust at Optimus Alive last year, replacing the Brothers bottles that I had since Brothers did that promotion a few years back.

About 25 years ago, someone wrote ian the worm inside a referance book of mine which I still use at work. As I signed up to efests during one lunchtime it just sounded nice. I've never used the name elsewhere.

I drew my updated avatar recently as the previous picture of Professor Yaffle from Bagpuss didn't match. I'd chosen that as he's just like me.

My real name is Elizabeth Frontbottom.

Duck has been my nickname since I was about 14, and I was a little goff when I started registering for things on the interwebs so I added evil to the front and have just stuck with it on everything. When evilduck is taken I resort to evilbatduck which came from a batman top I was wearing the first time it happened.

My initials and 777 is a shortened version of my email address. I wasn't too sure what to choose when I signed up so stuck to what I know, but I've been thinking about getting it changed for a while now.

I took the pic on Sunday morning at the Festival in 2009 shortly after sunrise; it was short listed for the Festival Annual Fan Photo Award later that year, which was eventually won by a pic of a bloke lying in a coffin smoking weed!

Name is from filthy rich and redknapp off that I had on a spurs board. The shortened version seems fitting for certain years at Glasto.

Picture is the el wire Pacman and ghosts we had at Glasto 10 and an improved version we made for sgp last year which is where the pic was taken.

My pals took them to burning man and we'll probably bring them back to Glastonbury this year

Avatar is the cover art from the mighty Sigur Ros album Agaetis Byrjun.

Grumpy, because I'm a Grumpy Old Man. (I'm really quite cheerful but when I watched the Grumpy Old Men series on the TV I found myself agreeing with so much they said that I decided that it was actually quite fun being grumpy).

Hack because I used to be a journalist.

These days I'm an adult ed tutor and at the end of one of my courses one of my students gave me this little cuddly toy, and I took a photo for my avatar.

I was really touched because he'd got this man with a beard, like me and even had my name, Pete, embroidered on the hat.

He was actually a bit of a 'Del Boy' who also bought and sold things on the markets and he later admitted to me that he'd bought a box of 2,000 little men and when he got home and opened the box he discovered that they all had the name Pete on them. So he was looking for 2,000 Petes to shift them to and I was the first one to come along.

Little Pete now comes with me as a mascot on all of my courses and I sit him on the desk in front of me and in the first session I tell the learners the story of how I came to acquire him.

My nickname, relating to my last name & that I used to be lazy at school. Pic is of Andy, myself & Charlie at Reading 2011 during what we now call the "Gin Blackout Friday" after drinking too much duty free gin in my tent during the rain.

Mine is simply the initial of my surname which is Ellis and my avitar is the Arc Bar where we first found Lords of Lightning, I love lightning storms so this made my Glastonbury in 2010 :lol:

    • Debut album from Haiver (ex Frightened Rabbit's Billy Kennedy band) is an absolutely gorgeous thing. If you're a fan of FR then you'll probably like it. Definitely a contender for album of the year for me.
    • The tickets for the back at Muse, did go on sale. I know because I bought tickets there because they were the cheapest. All in with fee's, I got tickets at £81.20 each.   So likely, sold out quickly for those wanting the cheapest tickets. Either that or sold poorly and they took them off sale and when I turn up they offer me paper ticket upgrades because they closed the back.
    • She's headlining Reading and Leeds. Not to be sniffed at. She's also done her substantial arena tour since last time.    I think she's a decent bet to do it.
    • The best Punisher stuff from the Bernthal time is probably Daredevil. Although season 2 of Punisher is a great kinda study on what Castle can be.   But his first turn up in Daredevil was an absolute blast.    I thought Brand New Day did a decent job with him.
    • Basement only getting 30 mins right at the start of the day is a ballache, how annoying
