What does your forum name mean?

A few people wonder why I'm called basher. It's nothing sinister or violent. Honest. :o

It's a school nickname... I used to play the drums.

For about 10 years, it was how I made my living. Just. In fact, to keep the wolf from the door, and to pay the mortgage, I taught drums while my band tried to hit the big time. We were "signed" to an indie label in the States for a bit, which meant absolutely nothing in real terms. We released an album and some self-financed singles, but never quite "made it". Put it this way... I'm very familiar with the Camden gig curcuit. T'was an exciting but financially unrewarding part of my life.

I still have my kit, but it won't fit in my boot anymore! 🤣

Basher, Was good to meet the two of you today.

Likewise mines definitely not rock and roll, rearrange the letters of a name relative to how I came to justify the impractical purchase of an F Type.
Our off spring are nearly self sufficient in the travel department.
Now this Man’s Tot free, the F Types a viable proposition.

Yeah, I'll never understand why people say the F-Type isn't a family car. ;)

For me its part of my first name, and the area where I live..

https://www.visitveluwe.com/

Some of these roam my land.. .. the animals, not the tourists that is..

We have a 5 acre plot with woodlands , fields for the retired pony's [ retired horse recently had to be put down.. :cry: ],
and too much wildlife to specify.. from bats to owls, buzzards to ice-birds, foxes, badgers, rabbits and so on..

But nothing really posh ; an [over-] extended bungalow..
