Mine comes from my other favourite comedy series Spaced. Marsha - the middle aged alcoholic landlady in it, likes inviting her tenants to share a bottle of 'vino collapso' with her. Especially Brian (played by Mark Heap)who apparantly she once rode 'like a bitch from hell' when he was behind with his rent. She usually ends up drinking a few on her own and passing out with a ciggie hanging from her mouth, or puts some in Colin the dog's food bowl!

Mine bit obvious too, I am indeed Scottish and I'm a veggie. I first used it years ago and it's easier to remember if you're the same name on everything.

I think mine speaks for itself to, although in retrospect it doesn't make the most sense does it. You're either Mrs Mac or Dr Mac. You can't be Mrs Dr. Oh well, it implies that i like Mac so that's all good. Although, if I hadn't been a menber befor last nights episode, my screen name would very possibly have been Graham the Monkey.

mines kinda a catch phrase i had in school. It comes from the monty python knights of ni sketch but i changed it for some bizarre reason (can't remember why now) and it became ni ping niwah!!! instead of ni peng niwong!!! So there you go, rather random

mine is a mixture of two words:
Boris and Drums.

Boris is my nickname and i'm a drummer. fairly simple i think.

Well the blue in Monty Python is a reference to that rare (and now extinct) bird, the Norwegian Blue parrot (lovely plumage). Don't get the xp thing tho, unless its Windows XP? Smile

I love Spaced, and Marsha is so cool! "Hullo Brian" Smile

Mine's from one of my favourite quotes by Mac, which I'm sure you all know!

lol that sketch is the best! Mine's just random, couldn't think what to call myself, though why I decided on "man" when I'm female beats me. Must be the drink!

i am a mighty boosh obsessive, but i thort having 'vince' or 'howard' was too predictable, (plus im not male!), so i thort i'd opt for the wise and mysterious enigma that is NABOO!!

and for those of you that have also been fortunate enough to see the mighty boosh live will know of a little song that goes:

#Naboolio, why did you have to go?
#Naboolio, we really loved u so!
#...Naboolio...#

Thus the name naboolio was born!
plus its also my msn name, and my name on other forums.
