My name was really random, sadly there isn't a story about it!! Although I could make one up... Once upon a time, there was a pirate, and she was bored and couldn't decide what to do. Suddenly, she had a brainwave - I know!! I'll call myself the sea falcon. And why was that?! Well, I can't really tell you, since I don't know myself, but I can asure you that for the purpose of this story, it was becuase she was threatened at knife point by her evil pirate enemy (whose name I forget) to write it in, and hoping she would live till at least her 20s, she typed her name in to Yachts and Yachting.

Long time ago, I wanted to be a Posting Monarch, to end the King/Queen dichotomy. The best answer is to whizz through the next 100 postings and become Far too distracted from work! That's a claim to fame! And Phil, have you noticed how life-like chess really is?

some words for certain people like cowboy becoming cowhand and snowman
becoming snowperson so please stop that stupidity! i donīt feel
insulted! but my name has not a really interesting story. spot is just the name of the 14 and 192 is our sail number. not too interesting but had no clue how to call me as my real name isnīt too spectacular! |

Hello Folks Spider here. Why spider? I was re-building a caravan at the time when Coronation Street had it's famous Eco Warrior "Spider". My brothers started calling me spider as a joke, and it's stuck. At the ripe old age of nearly 50 it's kind of funny when my nephews and nieces call me uncle spider. It wouldn't be bad if the bloomin' caravan worked out ok, but it ended up on the scrap heap. ------------- Spiderg |
