Actually it is my password from my school days. The school had upgraded the computers to some old 386's and insisted everyone use their names as passwords. Of course that meant jokers hacking into your account and wiping out your work every week.
This was back in 1992, I can still remember our wise English/clait teacher telling us email was a big gimmick and would never catch on.

My middle name and house number, I tried other usernames related to my first name but they were already taken (by people who never post, grrrr) and was losing the will to live.

Dindongler - when starting a thread of this nature, would it not be an idea to post up your own story?
Brun = start of my second name.

Mine came from an online game I played ages ago. I played a wizard whose speciality was invisibility. Seemed like a good idea at the time

Well some say it is after the chocolate as I am chunky and ridged for the ladies pleasure
Truth of the matter is for years when I was younger, I was a bit of a 'ladies' man and also had a penchant for starting stories that seemed to drag on with no apparent end rather like " ....making love to a beautiful woman" line and so the name stuck.
Obviously I am neither swiss or called Tony

Was going to use my real name, but thought better of it at the last moment as there were lots of stories about about them being stolen, so didn't want to give too much information. I came to Scoob ownership from a Ford RS Cosworth, so I was an (e)X RS owner.
