Names/Profile Pictures

[RumbleFox]

Hi all

 

Hope you are all well and surviving lockdown? Obviously some of our online names and/or profile pictures are obvious but just thought it might be worth having a thread where people can explain the more obscure ones should they see fit.

 

Not that anyone really cares but I chose my name on a whim based on one of my favourite films “Rumble Fish” and my picture is the cover of a book by Olaf Stapledon called Odd John that I just always really liked. I’m a big believer in always judging a book by its cover. X

[Guest the fox]

The team's nickname is the foxes, my NT's nickname is the Fennec foxes. Fan of both so it makes sense.

 

 

The fact that the user name "the fox" was available as late as 2015 is interesting, though.

[EnderbyFox]

I've been Donald Glover since 2011. He's still dead cool

[Guest Bilo]

Mine is Rabid Barney.

[The Blur]

Mine is Bronn from Game of Thrones.   I have got in a bit of habit to update my profile picture with my favourite character from TV shows whenever I finished all seasons with the show being deactivated.   I have been previously Logan from 24,  Hooked Handed Man from A Series of Unfortuane Events amongst others I can remember.   I am close to finishing 13 Reasons Why so it would be probably Clay next.  

[Trav Le Bleu]

I like City. I like music. I'm not French.

Well this is a shock.  

[Jon the Hat]

My name is in fact Jonathan.  ****ed up isn't it?

 

A colleague used to call me Jon the Hat many years ago and about the time I joined FT, so it sort of stuck.  He was a Coventry fan.

 

I look a bit like Louis Theroux (or I did when I had more hair) so I had a pic of Louis with a beard for years, until another poster who likes Louis but not my politics made me this cap so he could continue to not be annoyed with my picture in the poltics thread.  Being a friendly sort of chap I changed my picture.  Might change it back soon

[Tuna]

It's David Thewlis as V.M Varga from Fargo, if you've seen it you'll know.

Actually I think before my current one my profile pic was Lorne Malvo. X 

[Xen]

A contraction of a contraction of a random word I came up over a decade ago to call one of my villages in the browser game Travian. No idea why this one stuck...

 

The avatar is just the FoxesTalk logo with a pride flag added - fairly self-explanatory...

[Big Dave]

My names is Dave and I am quite tall. Always loved the old Pot Noodle adverts with Big Dave.

[Unabomber]

Mines my dog but he’s called Nigel not unabomber 

 

[StanSP]

A nickname and my initials.

 

And Vichai.

In case anyone forgot.

Varying attitudes to the postal service 

[Alf Bentley]

The real Alf Bentley was briefly a legendary manager of Folkestone Town, the club I grew up supporting.

Legendary firstly as he brought the club some success - nobody else ever did (though his old centre-back/centre-forward is now triumphing at successor club Folkestone Invicta & is the longest-serving manager in the pyramid - 23 years).

Legendary secondly as he was a controversial character: e.g. I saw him swing a punch at opposing fans & saw a referee refuse to leave the pitch at H/T as Alf was waiting for him in the tunnel. Long since RIP, sadly, as is the original club.

 

I started off as Sir Alf Bentley, as Bentley deserved a knighthood more than Ramsey. But legendary lost FT poster Zingari alerted me to the risk that people might not get the joke and might just think I was an arrogant twat.

This hadn't occurred to me, but is why I lost the knighthood.

 

I used to have a picture of the real Alf and one of myself as a grinning 4-year-old (still recognisable now). 

My picture now is of the 3 great LCFC managers who brought us the PL title: NP, Walsh & Cambiasso. I'm deeply disappointed that I've not taken any abuse from rabid Ranieri fans, but it might be a slow burner.

[Jimothy]

I've explained it on here before, but Facecloth comes from a misunderstanding whilst playing football when I was about 15. All my mates referred to me by my then last name, Aistrup, someone misheard and and thought they were calling me Facecloth.

 

The picture is obviously Nigel Pearson. Saw the picture used on an article prior to the 2014/15 season and thought the expression summed how we all feel a lot of the time 

[Stuntman_Mike]

Good thread idea. I've often wondered the reason behind some of the random ones 

 

Mine is simply a character in Quentin Tarantino's Death Proof, my name is Mike and I felt the need to add something.

I remember it, in his disguise.

I chose the name Tuna after a character in the movie Blow.

[jonthefox]

Name- pretty obvious 

 

pic- Turd Ferguson from a sketch called celebrity jeopardy.

[Guest seanfox778]

Hi my name is Sean. The fox is to do with Leicester and no idea about 778, i wasn't born in '78 or anything, the combination of the words seven seven eight, said moderately fast, just seemed to roll off the tongue and from that moment, I just knew what my Internet name was destined to be. 

[RumbleFox]

I always think Rumble Fox sounds like a sad attempt at sounding hard. “Oi oi!!! Who fancies a facken rumble?!?”. X 

[davieG]

Very corny but named after Davie Gibson my all time favourite player.

 

My Avatar was my entry into a Foxestalk Graphics Competition to design a new LCFC Logo -It didn't win

After explaining why I lost the "Sir" from my name, I was wondering if I should change my name to HumbleFox.
