    I think we may have discussed this before but what is the story behind your username?

    Mine was from the other place.

    I really want to know what a Seagoon is.

        I think Gibson and the other DT cats are the reason why I’m considering getting a cat when I move

      Mr Woof’s and Miss Meow’s real names. Which means when anyone here uses my username I have a brief moment of confusion before I realise they are actually referring to me 🤣

      Skateboarding as a kid down multi level car parks and steep roads. Most fun was sitting on our arses and racing that way.

      Long ago on a different Platform a group of very silly young men were whinging about catfishing. A whole bunch of us changed our display names to Catfish and flooded the daily feed with silly fish related posts. I found it amusing and kept it.

      It’s part of a lyric from a song called “All There Is” by my favourite band, Bad Religion.

      The lyrics question the human condition in a pessimistic way. Lyrics about the futility of existence, despair, and the pain of living in a world with little substance coupled with high tempo drumming, blistering guitars and three part harmonies. Typical Bad Religion fare…

        I remember once I tried to make a reference to Neil Gaiman - American gods to you and it went completely over your head. Now I know why 🫥

            I believe charges were dropped, but the public opinion is a different story of course.

      It came about because one day sitting around the dinner table my daughter said something about her dad being the boss of the house and I said “No I’m the boss. I’m the CEO of this house and your dad is 2IC” and he looked at her and said “It’s true. She is the boss”. And the name stuck.

      Mine is very boring. I’m a witch and I live in Thornbury. All my social media usernames are variations on this theme. Would have been worse if I lived in Ipswich. One day I shall re-invent myself, but at present I see no particular need to do so.

        What if there were two witches in Ipswich? People would ask, but which Ipswich witch?

          Not only that, but what the witch of Ipswich actually does. Which witch switches the switch for Ipswich?

          Not telling.

      A friend a very long time ago took my nickname, morphed it and morphed it again until it became Spin, which caught on in my friend group for quite a few years and became my favourite nick name. It’s generally taken up on every platform, so I expanded to what it is.

      I had messed up baking a cake earlier in the day, that I was supposed to take as a dessert to a gathering. I had no ideas for a user name so that’ll do.

      Lady Seagoon is a character in the Goon Show. This one is another parody of a Sherlock Holmes movie/Beau Geste
