How long have you had your username and what’s the significance?

Of course it is, he's from Yorkshire....and South Yorkshire to boot.

 

Since I joined in 2011.
It's the name the current wife named the bus ....Betty Boo ....blue bus, so Betty Blue.
I wanted to call it Kylie as it an Australian bus ( and I quite like Kylie.)

 

I’ve always loved the Haynes manuals and Barry because our next door neighbours dog is called Barry and I thought Barry Haynes was quit cool

 

Somewhere around 2009/2010 I joined and i have little or no imagination, my first name is Matthew

 

Cunny is my nickname from school days and 44 is the age I was when I started on this forum in 2014 (one of the previous statements is a blatant lie)

 

My daughter works in the steel rolling mills of Port Talbot doing quality control .. she's 24 and the blokes are a bit scared of her..

 

I am too stupid to realise I should have been Boris because of hairstyle ..

 

That you went to school?

 

Got a gurt big head

 

I bought the bus at the end of 2007 and stumbled across TLB a couple of years later so probably joined in 2009. 77 Westy obviously because the bus is a 77 Westy.

 

Drove my first brazzer back home and the first thing she said was "Purple?"

 

School nickname coupled with one of my favourite albums, not as a nice friendly chap once said at techenders, "Are you one of them with numbers in your name"

 

Of course!

 

Can you imagine a modern Gen X-er in a steelworks?

They'd be so shocked by the carbon footprint of a ladle of molten steel, they'd probably have to take a mental health day off to recover.

 

My dogs name is Kevin hence kevinthedog

 

My parents called me Andrew, which I rebelled against in around 1993 and took on the creative pseudonym “Andy” (albeit there were other more creative / less complimentary nicknames knocking around at the same time)

About 2007-08 my side hustle (as these things are now called) was VW based illustrations which is was selling as cards and pictures under the “Lazy Daze” moniker.

In an act of pure genius I combined Lazy and Andy when I joined VZI in the early noughties and had a funky little avatar of a single cab split combined with the Plain Lazy logo… which I have since lost somewhere!
