has anyone asked where your handle comes from

[GARFISH]

Garfish, because I used to catch a lot of the slippery suckers.
Especially delicious in a garlic and herb crumb

[bay_firey]

Not much of a story

Bay (used to live in Hervey Bay )_Firey (you guesed it used to be an auxiliary firefighter)

[Craigus]

Craigus, Quite strait forward....Just Craig with a bit more flair.

[saphire]

Mine is from my boats name. Yes I know that sapphire is spelt with 2 ps but when I ordered the name I spelt it wrong and so that is the name the boat got. I wasnt allowed to change it in case I confused Neptune/Posidon/Hughy or whoever your God of the Sea is.
saphire.

Cannot reveal all the details, but it had something to do with a remote farm house, a getaway car, and undercover police chickens......

[Darryl]

[Herm]

Hello there

This thread was a great idea I always have a look at the handles and wonder where they came from.

Well mine is boring - Herm is shortened version of my maiden name - the new surname is greek, long and people just look at it and don't even attempt to pronounce it! So Herm it is!

Mr Wong you mentioned wongaling being on a boat earlier.Thats the name of a beach suburb up here.

[sunny]

Great thread

Mine is actually Sunfish on another forum, but somehow I think that name should belong to someone else on any Queensland fishing forum, so it became sunny.

The wierd thing is how well these names can stick. For years people on the other forum only called me Sunfish. There used to be group photos passed around that were labelled Fred, George, Mr & Mrs Sunfish, Bob, Harry...
