I've been around these parts for a while now (registered 2006). My original name was FunkyPlates as that was a website I set up to satisfy my number plate obsession (spotting and collecting). Still own a fair few UK plates. Then moved to Oz and on my trip back to the UK last year met up with a few fetchies at bushy parkrun and decided to change my name to funkyPOM (I didn't realise that fleecy was recording a podcast when we were chatting before the start)

Because it's an awesome song. And strangely appropriate for running. :-)

Is that 'W' pronounced "Double U", or is it "Dubya", like the Bush boy?

I was Combat Kitten.
Then I was CK.
Then I re-emerged as CK2!

(I’ve been around longer than my post number indicates)

Hi Fetchies

Come here and tell me about your Fetchname:
- how did you come up with it?
- how do you pronounce it? (prompted by pedroscalls - is it Pedro-Scalls or Pedros-Calls?

There're are a few that um and I've summarised from answers in the thread in a lovely Wiki article here:

Here is the list to read AND ADD YOUR NAME !!

fetcheveryone.com/article-view.php?id=550

Feel free to add your own name here and also in the article, in the style above.

Remember, everyone can edit a Wiki, just follow the link!

Cheers! :-) G
