what your signature says about you.

Post: # 33677Post Andy Hamilton »

I have noticed that many of you change your signature all the time and some of them are highly amusing. I have had a go at changing mine from time to time dependig on what mood I am in. I think I will go back to the quote from Neil off the young ones soon as it has been my favorite. - first we sow the seeds, nature grows the seeds then we eat the seeds.

I did try to be clever with one of them - "the trick to creativity is knowing how to hide your sources" I thought it would be amusing not to credit it to anyone. It was actually good old mr Einstien who said that.

I am using a quote by tony heart at the moment as I was looking at his site the other day on a search for Morph stuff and I thought it was time for a new signature.

mine is something we say to ds when shovelling something of the non-chocloate variety down his throat. Also, we are training him to say it loudly in restaurants when we can afford to go out, just to annoy people who think children shouldn't be in "family" restaurants

I've never attached a signature or 'byline' as I usually call them. I don't see the point. I especially find it irritating when people put their name at the bottom - when it is the same name as their username! Why?

I would like to know what Nev's one is on about though - that's had me puzzled ever since I joined this site. Who or what is Muddypause?

Whaddahyermean?

As in Stew - Muddypause - you know, the guy with the turnip.......long beard..........acerbic wit..................high IQ..........need I say more?

In a post yonks ago, he was talking about something, can't remember what and said that as far as the subject in hand goes, garden shed technology rules and I liked the quote.

My original tag line was - "Inside every old person is a young person wondering what happened".

Gad, I wish I knew! I've been looking for the answer to that for a lifetime, but I'm still no nearer.

I think he/it might be entirely fictional.

But I would reference this thread from ages ago, just out of interest, like. Particularly posts 7 & 8. I remain a little embarrassed about it.

By far the best one I've seen yet. Very understated.

I thought that Muddpause might mean something or be something, like a character in a book. I didn't know that Nev's wotsit was quoting our Muddy, if you see what I mean.

So Muddypause is just a made up name?

I wish. It was a rather too hastily thought up Username.

On other forums I've been things like Stickyfingers (after a Rolling Stones record) - this was a musical forum; I've been Greasyfingers on a car repair forum. For some reason, I couldn't use Muddyfingers here - forget why - so I hastily thought of Muddypaws, and then decided to get terribly sophisticated (!) and change the spelling. On reflection, I don't like it much. Muddyboots would have been better, but now that might conflict with our Boots.

Some of my best moments have been with blondes.

If only I didn't keep waking up when we get to the good bits.

Nah - I have always thought Muddypause was highly original and as I had many a muddy pause during my recent mudbrick adventure, often smiled about it and thought what an excellent name it was for any earth worker!

Silly me, what with Nev being self sufficient I thought he meant Muddy Paws, as in hands dirty due to handling crops, plants etc.......

:mrgreen: only kidding.
