If you call me ...

Si - you are going to get on my nerves in the next forty seconds
Simon - you are almost anyone
Stuart, Steve, Daniel (?) - you are one of the many people who can't quite recall my name
Mr Stacey - you are probably official, sending me a bill, or taking the rip
Mr Landmine - you are Sean from The Ship in Croydon, and I claim my £5
Dancefloorlandmine - you know me online
d_floorlandmine - you know me from LJ, and have worked out how to pronounce "_"
Motorbreath - you know me from the Jorvick bulletin board in York1
Spanner - you are probably either [livejournal.com profile] minusbat or [livejournal.com profile] velvetfox (or, apparently, [livejournal.com profile] ellenscult), as I appear to have outrun the others who used to use that nickname [grin]2
Dad-man - you are one of my munchkin colleagues, who have apparently decided that my workplace mannerisms are deserving of a pipe and slippers
Hairy bloke - you are almost certainly [livejournal.com profile] littleangel_103
Sweetie - you are probably [livejournal.com profile] doja35, although there are a couple of other possibilities
You, you, you ... did you go to York? - you are probably at Wendyhouse, and haven't seen me for about ten years. The next approved statement is "Thought so. You haven't changed!"
Mate - you're the bloke who runs the local SPAR, who refers to everyone as Mate, in a very odd migrating accent
Dude - prime suspects would be [livejournal.com profile] lproven and Dan WINOLJ, but there are probably more
The Right Honourable Herbert J Pilkington Esquire - you think I'm someone completely different, and you're so wrong

Great, and now I've got Blondie's Call Me in my head, trying to contest with Skyclad on the headphones ...

1 It's the song I was listening to when first asked for a username, and in any case I'd just eaten a chicken kiev ...
2 Explanations may be forthcoming, but I wouldn't rely on it!

And one of my colleagues has just discovered that she can whistle (quietly) through her nose now that she has a cold ... you see what I have to put up with?

As one of the people who know the explanation for (2), you haven't outrun us... :)

I still call you Spanner! And occasionally 'Oi, stoppit!' ;)

Does she do requests?
Wednesday, March 17th, 2004 07:47 am (UTC)
"SPANNER! OI'M BORED! BUY ME A PINT!"

And us select few who call you "Jonah"?

"how to pronounce "_""

well as that is an underscore, then "Dunderscore Landmine" (somewhat like 'Dunderhead' but shirley not ;-)

"almost anyone"
as always so near yet so far ...

Tell you what you ask one and I'll ask the other?
If we’re both at Wendyhouse we could compare bruises?

[a] What's worrying me is that started out as a sort of ironic joke, a pisstake of stereotypical snowboarderspeak between me and [livejournal.com profile] reverendjim. I fear it's become habit.

[b] Are you aware you're also "Bouncy Simon"? :-)

Hmph.

*I* call you Mr Landmine (on LJ, 'cause it's easier to type than your username) and sweetie!
