How can I change my nick? (my login name)


I looked everywhere in MY CONTROLS and HELP but can't find it.

If it's not possible, how can I delete myself?

Try one of these

1) PM admin (paul or VB) and ask for them to delete your account info
2) use different email address to start new account
3) you can try jetje's suggestion, if you really want :)

FORMAT LIFE
FORMAT LIFE
FORMAT LIFE
FORMAT LIFE
FORMAT LIFE

Shit, doesn't work :angry:

...and gun laws are very strict in Belgium, I'll try booze.


Thanks for all your help! :D

Welcome, Bender! And you do know you can't kill yourself with booze if you're Bender, right?

Bender

Yes I know,


But let me at least try! (opening second bottle)

J&Sbelgium has been deleted as you requested.


BTW, we are able to change your loginname, so creating a new account wasn't really needed.

Sorry to bring this up but there are a lot of Brits on this site... do you know what a bender is in Britain? :D

I dunno. I think he likes the show 'Futurama' :D

Lol yeah I know. In the states its slang for a drinking binge or whatever but it also means something very different here. :huh:

Check out Rogers Profanisaurus (http://members.lycos.co.uk/Tim_Bracey/fun/rogers.htm), always good for a laugh. :D

It's the US version that I mean.


Bender is the first TV personality I can completely identify with.

The behavior I mean, not the looks! :wacko:

But explain me the UK version...

Yeah I know, I was only joking. ;)

A 'Bender' in the UK is slang for a 'Gender Bender' (Homosexual), so if you say 'wow, I spent the weekend on a Bender', over here, it probably means you have been to one of Michael Barrymores pool parties. :D

Well Bender you've been officially told by a fellow Brit, -a "Bender" over here is derogatory slang for someone who's gay, just so you know! ;D

Also depends on what part of the UK you mean...

In Newcastle 'canny' is one of the biggest compliments you can give someone. In Scotland its an insult about being mean with money or something (and thats only 80 miles away)

A Fag here means a cigarette, in the US its a homosexual

Tab in the North of England is a cigarette in the south its dope.

So much for the 'International Language' :lol: :lol:

Off topic:
Been meaning to ask you about something, Rat Faced. Like deckard, I was interested in what Geordies were. So I checked out a couple of websites, and apparently, you're the only geordie that can speak(write) in decent understandable english. Why is that? :lol:

Remi

In London it means one of two things. "I'm going out on a bender"= I'm going out to get pissy drunk. or, " I'm a bender"= I'm gay. ;D

The Geordie dialect is a mixture of English (Some Olde English), Norwegian, Danish, Swedish, Scottish Gaelic and Northumbrian (Dead Saxon Language)

If someone was speaking/writting in that I guarantee only another Geordie (and only a few of those) would understand it :lol:

Heres a Dictionary, although not a complete one :lol:

http://www.geordiepride.demon.co.uk/dictionary.htm

Its a Dead Language that some people speak among themselves, in much the same way as Gaelic in Scotland (although there are a LOT more people in Scotland speak Gaelic), or Cornish in the South West.

If more people were 'interested' in these areas the languages would be revived, in the same way as the Welsh were successful.

I think this is why the Army likes to use Geordie signallers....for the same reason that the Americans used Navaho signallers in WWII

So when I ever get to go to the UK or US I'll have to be carefull I guess...

Can someone help me with these? I mean, what DO they mean?


"I'm taking a bender" is about booze or homosexuality?

"While on a bender I took a fag" is the same as "While on a fag I took a bender"?

"I smoke a fag" is the same as "I'm sucking a fag"?

"When I was on vacation, I had a fender-bender whilst being on a bender, crashing into a bender's pink Benz" means what?


I have to say, in Belgium (which does not exist) we have it much easier.
We have 3 completely different languages (Dutch, French and German), so nobody understands anybody, thus avoiding discussions like this.

Lol Bender. Over here we can suck a Fishermans Friend in public without getting arrested! :D

Dear Bender when next you visit London for Gods sake don't tell anyone you've been sucking a fag, the consequences could prove worse for your health than smoking!!!
