In the real world my name is...........

[bigbadwolf]

Hello east Dulwich,following my previous thread about the meaning of forum members user names I thought I might venture further out to the deep end and ask who some of you guys are. I appreciate that a lot of us including myself enjoy anonymity but I can't help wonder how many times I've passed someone I spoke to on this forum on the street or in the shops. Basically I enjoy putting a face to a name be it made up or not and finding out a little bit more about the people I'm talking/writing to. Call me nosey or wierd but are any of the braver amongst us on Facebook. Also whats the average age group on this forum, we ran a little experiment on the Sydenham town forum expecting most forum users to be retirement age but to our surprise the majority were between their early twenties to middle age. I'm 24.

Steve O Shea,34, married two kids, originally from Co.Armagh, living in ED since early 90,s, work in the smoke, I have a long arm.

[CamberwellOz]

I'm 29 soon to be 30.

[bon3yard]

Mike 33. You'll be suprised how tetchy some people can be about their anonymity on here. I think there are a lot of people in Dulwich who work for British Intelligence.

[Annasfield]

Funnily enough it's Anna and I'm 28. Far too close to 30 for my liking.

[Tony.London Suburbs]

Ironically my name IS Tony..and I'm,er 54 going on 34...

[bon3yard]

Your second name isnt actually Field though is it Anna, a delicious coincidence or just wishful thinking?

[Annasfield]

I would love it to be a coincidence, but sadly it isn't. Used to be the name for my fantasy football team, so I figured I use it as a user name.

[bon3yard]

I had an ex whose name was Ellen Droad. She hated football...

[Annasfield]

I do know of a girl called Ann Field. Don't she was as in to football as her Dad.

[bon3yard]

Then There was the Irish fella who used to deliver our milk...Bernie Bough. Odd fella, smelled of Maltesers.

[Annasfield]

You see, I went as far as believing you the first time around. Think I need to get out, haven't been outdoors since I got in on Friday night.

[bigbadwolf]

Sorry I forgot, my names Lawrence.

My real name is Big Dog, I am 38, married with a 14 month old child who we used to push about in a bugaboo. Do I fit the ED stereotype?

[Marmora Man]

Mid fifties, bald & bearded and my name is Ian.

Those that are inclined could probably draw up a fairly detailed dossier on many of the regulars here - perhaps enuf to steal and identity?

[dukesdenver]

I'm not a Duke and I've never been to Denver.

Yours,

Julie

Wolfy-If you really want to know, start an "East Dulwich Forum" group on Facebook......I, like most I guess, will abstain - though would take a look..there's already and "East Dulwich is the best place in the world" one....I'm not in that either

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

But you like Peter Wimsey?

[dukesdenver]

Oh yes, he's definitely the thinking woman's (fictional) crumpet.

[Huguenot]

Earp Tonpark.

You have nothing to fear BBW. If you want to know everyone for real go to the monthly drinks. That way you'll not only recognise people, but also be able to assail them!

I'm Nick and 38, but sadly MM is right - despite it's friendliness the forum is on public view, and not everyone wishes us well. :(

Incidentally I'm an ED exile. I was soundly thrashed and put on a slow boat to Singapore.

Huguenot, I'm distraught, I had persuaded myself your name was Hugo.

BBW, some of us do as little as possible to preserve anonymity - see the photos from the various forum drinks

I am on facebook but make a habit of not installing any apps or joining any groups - ED or otherwise

Seans a bitter man...;-)
