When I was in uni one of my friends was ill with glandular fever and had to home for 2 months. To keep him entertained we made him a tape (yes that long ago
) of various things. One of them was a Bond 'film' called Golden Steel where the baddy was Glen de la Fievre who was trying to take over the world's steel supply to make it as expensive as gold. I was a bond girl in it and as my name is Anna I was christened Annagain. The other two bond girls were Maxie Pear and Melanie Plenty. Mine just stuck, the other two got away with theirs.
Vetty is short for Yvette and I use it on the other forum that I belong to as well...... I'm not imaginitive enough to have something witty and clever!!
Mine was a favourite word of an ex-work colleague who was a bit of a Cavalier non-conformist in the Office.
The only other option would have been his perfect answer. If anyone ever asked a question and he didnt know the answer he would just say Orange as it was a nice round cheerful sort of word.
Self explanatory really! I'm a self-proclaimed novice - once upon a time was good enough for a few dressage tests and clear round riding school events but my ability and knowledge have regressed dramatically since then!

I always assumed you were named after the penguin glove puppet in Red Dwarf, Mr Flibbles! That is perhaps where your colleague got it from
My younger brother was known as millsey, so to all his mates (everyone down the local rugby club and then some) I was millsey's sister, shortened to millseysister!
Not the most exciting, but practical as it seems pretty original!
My full name is PedanticVindictiveman, because that is how I would describe myself, and also I would say his lordship is a Pedantic ginger pony, so it suits for us both
Because I have two chocolate labradors. Could have been "Mum of monkeybum13" but think she'd prefer to deny all knowledge. Why is she monkeybum??? Really must ask...
