For reasons I cannot fathom, I started life in the IL2 world as Chug_Muffin, mainly because it sounded amusingly weird. I think. When you're in school and all that, you have a bizarre sense of what is and isn't funny. Anyhoo, fortunately I grew up a bit, although no doubt some would argue they didn't notice any change!
I'd just got into Derek Robinson's books, and again, I liked the name Moggy Cattermole. Despite the fact Moggy of the books was a collossal shithead. If only FO 'Flash' Gordon, who was awesome, had been named Moggy. Calling myself Flash Gordon seemed a bit presumptive and I doubt many people would have realised I was alluding to the Piece of Cake Character.
I was originally P/O W. 'Moggy' Cattermole, but when I first registered here, it was too long.
Smart people will note that Moggy claims his name is Lance in the book, but I always reckoned that he was saying that to try and impress the girl he was talking to, to make himself sound more dashing, as though he were a movie star of the time. It's the sort of thing I could see him doing.
My avatar changes alot depending what mood I'm in.
