I talk sense from time to time!
which thread was that then?
as for nick names, BB started me off, hes to blame
seriously most people know me Nick name
funny thing with nick names or Pseudonyms as they are more commonly known. I`ve been using The Monk for about 20 years now and I`ve also written under the Pseudonym of the Enforcer. The reason for the latter was that I live in an area which is surrounded by three anti angling groups, many of who know me because I have had some measure of political involvement with angling and written for a number of local papers on the sport, I have friends who have had problems with these idiots, one had his locks superglued, being a natural coward, I found it wise to hide my Monk identity, because many had worked out who the Monk was (its like MI5 isnt it).
Psychologically, I found writing under the Monk Pseudonym, I could mentally get away with writing utter crap, yet under my Nick name, I tended to attempt the more serious stuff (obviously something went wrong along the way, plus I paid ?100 for my made to measure habbit), so I tend these days to stick to The Monk Pseudonyms
thats my story and I`m sticking to it!
