Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Fetchnames - explain yours! :-)

jabberknit
Mine came with me from Ravelry (a fabulous website which is like Fetch-for-knitting) and is a combo of my initials and knitting. Knitting is one of the other things I like to do, though sadly not so much recently due to arthritic thumb joints. Probably caused by too much knitting over the last 50 years.

My avatar is me eating cake during a marathon, because that's another thing I like to do.

minardi
When I joined Fetch, I didn't realise how important a user name would be - doh!

I love Formula 1 and at the time, Minardi were the team always at the back of the grid so it seemed appropriate.

Ooh Avatar explanations!

I've used Brian pretty much since I started because I think in real life I'm about as far from The Blessed One as could be.

I'm cleanshaven, fair hair, weedy and quiet. I often get confused looks when I meet a new Fetchie at a race because I'm not what they pictured at all.

I did once try to break the run of Brian pics with one of cheeses for some reason. It meant something at the time, I'm sure, but I've no idea why now. It didn't last. People just got confused and didn't know who I was!

Alice the Camel
I also read Nellers’ posts/blogs in a Brian voice :-)

I was living in a sandpit in the Middle East when I joined Fetch, and I have a lumpy body shape...hence Alice the Camel.

Rosehip
Mulbs named me as my original choice was not shout out or introduction friendly.

All diminutive versions of my name were taken and no one calls me by my full first name.

My nickname has always been hippo, but we had a famous plodding one of those-

So Rosehip I became.

Being somewhat autumnal, it also suits my age!

DoricQuine
Doric is the dialect spoken up here in the NE of Scotland and quine (pronounced kwine) is Doric for lass or girl. At my advanced age I'm maybe pushing it being called a quine but I'd rather have that than wifie! :)

Like fine wines, fine quines are mature with complex characters! :)
