Mine is self explanatory.....I obviously think imho that Dancing Brave was the best racehorse I have had the pleasure to witness. Lots of you probably have your names but some sound quite interesting......spill the beans if you want to explain to fellow forumites the meaning behind your forum name

The road where I bought my first home. Nothing of any other personal or racing significance.
i went transgender and was left with xl labia..hence the name.

I was trained by Barry Hills and was also his nickname.

4th in Derby won by Galileo and 3rd in Leger won by Milan

Acey-deucey is deliberately riding a horse with one stirrup shorter than the other. It is most often seen in racing in the United States, where a jockey will slightly lengthen the inside stirrup to gain better balance on turns, all of which are left-handed in America. Some riders believe this helps them.[4]
Never heard of that Acey but when I was riding I always had one longer than the other....its just felt comfortable for me...perhaps I have 1 leg longer/shorter than the other
Does that mean you’ve spelt your forum name wrong, Acey? 
Mine has no significance whatsoever, 100%

Think we did this years ago, mine was one of the horses i first had shares in years ago, a selling plater and dual purpose horse, won a few races. It's apparently a hill in Scotland something to do with the Stewarts i believe, also a rather rude anagram.
I actually thought Sue Smith had a horse called that.
Dangleflaps ffs....Conjurs up all kinds of disgusting images.
Stanley Racing ( remember them ) made a blunder on a top batsman market many years ago so took advantage around most of their Liverpool shops , hence Hayden = Matthew Hayden.
Memorable day albeit after timing

My name followed by form. No reason to have a stage name.
The 1st name I tried to use had been taken so it was the next name I thought of.

I'm a Stoke fan and Lou Macari is my hero...
Mine took me a long time to come up with (must have lacked imagination that day)
not the biggest win I've had, but when I was skint, the most important, in the Schweppes as it then was.
c'74-c'83 A fantastic time to be an Aston Villa supporter !
Mine’s one of those Steven Astaire owned horses from a while ago that were named after Marx brothers characters. I liked them. Could have been J Cheever Loophole or Hiram B Birdbath but plumped for this.
I apparently look like John Nettles and Bergerac couldn't be used and at the time he was Barnaby im still called Bergerac by friends and family mind.
DCI Barnaby

I know Hayden, the memory of that night at Wimbledon will be with me forever but it does seems like a lifetime away now. Prince Edward owned 50% of the jolly Druids Johno who didn't cope at all well with the noisy preliminaries.
There used to be a poster called "Cannyman" on the doggie forum that was offered S.B. for £5K as a pup after winning an A4 @ Brough Park.
He walked away as it was just over his budget. The one that got away...

I'll take prolific (before lascivious is suggested)

I have a barn and its black!!. But my field that surrounds my garden was historically (18THc) named Black Bush Barn Field, but I kept it simple for what should be pretty obvious reasons
Lee Ho Fooks - Werewolves of London !
Love that track !

You'll be OK as long as you don't run amok there bluebook
He did indeed, and there's a school photograph of them to prove it.
A man who lived not far away from me who had a reputation for being a world class jinx.
My son has a 1st in Philosophy and tried to explain Wittgenstein's theories. I'm none the wiser tbh!
cobs 101
Try to get hold of a copy of Ray Monk's biography, Wittgenstein : The Duty of Genius, if you're interested.
Covers his life and philosophy.

Not you, cobs101, I hasten to add, but the Philosophy Made Easy.
*Philosophy Made Simple, I should say.
I mean, really !
Brain Surgery for Dummies... .

You may mock, but my best friend got a 2:2 in Philosophy with Cognitive Studies from Sussex in 1984, and I think that's the only book he read.
I spotted this in the car park of Lidl in Taunton a few years back. I'd like to think that the owners kept a copy of Philosophy Made Simple in the garage next to the Haynes manual.
And isn't that Bruce Forsyth on the front cover, the pose he used to adopt at the beginning of The Generation Game ?!
You'd have to be careful with the Kant number plate... .
better meddle with the de'il than the Bairns o' Falkirk. cheers.
The Bairn, Take ane take a' it all used to be on the town crest but the last one I saw it had been changed.
second again and top2rated great to know a wee bit history behind the crests, i'm sure it was on my school blazer badge, i think that was how I minded, thanks for the info. cheers.
Name of my early 90's Welsh regional rugby team, the doomed Celtic Warriors, which was an amalgam of Bridgend and Pontypridd. I grew up nearby in Llantwit Major in the gorgeous Vale of Glamorgan. Very lucky for me, loads of fantastic beaches in the summer and a small village really back then.
Where I grew up, 1 of the best 3 places on Earth, other 2 Ibiza and Vegas
I play poker. Mine is a poker hand in texas hold em. Ace King Suited. Sometimes known as the 'walking back to Texas hand'
Celtic Warrior.....loads of new houses been put up very quicky in Llantwit Major....you visited recently??? Quite an increase in the population.
Dancing,
Sadly not for five years, but that doesnt surprise me. Has Llanmaes now become a suburb, together with Llandow, Nash point & Wick. In 10 years time there will be houses all the way to Rhoose I should imagine. very sad. When I arrived there in the scorching summer of 1976 Boverton was a distinct village!

Just looked on map. Loads of new house behind windmill lane and the LM Afc & cricket have their own seperate pitches up there. AFC used to play in the rec opposite the two rugby pitches. Lovely memories from my youth
Yes Celtic it is sad to see but as our cities are full to capacity there is no where else for our growing population to go. Beautiful countryside and quaint country villages gone forever
Prime commuter belt area for Cardiff. Cowbridge will always be the more sought after place to live in of course.
