        I have by far the fewest profile views of the top 10 posters. Either everyone already knows everything about me, or no one wants to find out anything more about me.

          who said that, and why is there a quote from someone else?

              'Out of the blue sky, of our depth of sea'? Not sure about the relevance of this to anything.
              Are you feeling OK?

              That and the Alternative World Cup Users list was hardly necessary. Stats page or no.
              Is A Doctor Speaks trying to be funny, or is he just being an ignorant, offensive cunt?

              Anyway, the alternative names list will be a great reference guy. Thanks for that, Herr Bundeskanzler.

                Right. Long time browser who hasn't posted at all because I set up this account with my actual name when getting a subscription.

                So using this thread to ask - when I go to my details it doesn't offer my username as something to change. It doesn't have a field.

                So I'm puzzled.

                  Go to your profile, and then click the "Edit my Details" link over on the left-hand side.

                  This would be quite the record, a username change after one post.

                    I've gone for an internet translation of "Football Shorts" into Afrikaans. Can't help thinking that it's not quite right....

                      Welcome mike, I for one fervently hope your World Cup username will be 'Mike Peters of The Alarm'.

                        I'm afraid I don't get the reference! Sorry to disappoint.

                        Anyway, that worked, thanks. I was going to my details in the top right. Glad to be under the shadow of internet anonymity again.

                        Not sure this username really works as a gag, but I'll go with it.

                          This is going to get highly confusing. I approve.

                              See...this is why I don't come into football threads. They're vicious.

                                  It was either this or Renartheid, which seemed in poor taste.

                                    Definitely doesn't work. We can't have some uppity Johnny-Two-Posts causing confusion.

                                    Whole minutes of research went into my name change, exploring all three South African books that I've read. I reluctantly rejected "Cry The Beloved Cunt Tee Rex", on the grounds of good taste, accuracy and length.

                                    So, er, this is me.

                                      Whereas, all you lot went for something South African, and I went for something more cerebral, personal and something else but I am trying hard to not watch Charlie Brooker, so sod off.

                                      And closer to who/m I actually want to win.

                                        Well I hardly bother replying to threads anymore, not that I was prolific anyway, but the only SA/ooh aah related name I could think of was this. For some reason apostrophes are forbidden in user names

                                          I'm not bothering to change mine, since The Exploding Abdullah Ibrahim apparently doesn't fit.

                                            I've shamelessly bumped this as it's been amusing to see names change for the WC. I used to remember people by the clubs they support but alot of people hide that now.

                                            Will give the name change a good think over.

                                            EDIT: I've changed from morgan to morghana.

                                              I had been planning Nelson Torolihlahla Mandela for a while, but it won't fit.

                                              I'll hang on to this until I can find a definitive team to support, and a related pun.

                                                I have struggled with this one. I became Chippy during the 2002 world cup as someone described me as a chippy scotsman. (In fact it might have been Euro 2000) So I have been wasting time on here for about 11 years...

                                                I then decided to be a bit more positive and change it to Chirpy. Actually my life has been getting a lot better too so a good reflection.

                                                I then tried to change it to Paul O'Freire as a pun on Paulo Freire but the lack of ' meant it looked odd. So now I am sitting with Chirpinho.

                                                Need to do better.
