    Well, my names Ian
    The ...of Smeg part came from an episode of Red Dwarf where Lister goes into an AR game about Medieval times and Calls himself Lister of Smeg
    and the 16 part, well 16 is my lucky number for various sporting reasons
    When I was a child
    I caught a fleeting glimpse
    Out of the corner of my eye.
    I turned to look but it was gone
    I cannot put my finger on it now
    The child is grown,
    The dream is gone.
    I have become comfortably numb...

    Hi name sounds cool to me and no one else would ever choose him as a name anywhere else - so I don't have to worry about changing it for different sites.

    Shouldn't this thread be moved?

    my nickname? just making some random words from the back of my mind...turns out to be a typo for "future" or "next"... I don't know much German.

    Needed a nick quick for a Q3-match and happened to to look at a cover of a book about the Crusades. Changed the "c" to "k" and almost all my friends on the net know me as Krusader, so I've stuck with it.

    It's my name; looking back I should have made perhaps a little more effort...

    Nice one. Great set of books. A masterpiece of hard sci-fi with plausible fantasy influences.
