:love: this thread! I've always just loved the sound Bono makes in An Cat Dubh - shika!!!! And it bears a slight resemblence to my real name, so it just stuck.
 
:eyebrow: Laird is an old Scottish name meaning landlord.... and Bono is the singer in this Irish band called U2. They're pretty good. If you get a chance, check them out. :up:

I'm glad the nickname given to me by MY crazy uncle didn't stick. It'd be pretty hard to pick up the ladies if everyone was calling you Piss Willy. :|
 
two shots of Happy, one shot of sad - thats one of my all time favourite songs.

One shot sounded boring. Hence Two Shots! Life is full of them, and the song, which could almost be an epitaph - just demonstrates what you get.

The Third Policeman is a superb book too, if a little (ok, a lot) off the wall. Very funny, but At-Swim-Two-Birds is just genius. His columns from the Irish Times when he wrote under the name Myles na gCopaleen are collected in 'The Best of Myles' too which is a great read. He also wrote some works in Irish, one of which, 'An Beal Bocht', is translated as 'The Poor Mouth', a brilliant satire on the Irish Gaelic revival in the early twentieth century.

Hope you enjoy the book!

Just finished the Third Policeman. I enjoyed it. I think i'll check out come more of his books.
 
My name is totally stupid and I wish I could change it to U24ME. Actually last year I got a vanity license plate and I was going to get that. Then I changed my mind and got BEVS Z3. What can I say, I make bad decisions. I didn't keep the vanity plate after the first year was over. However, I am stuck with BEVERLY56 forever. Actually I use that as my user name on almost every account I ever log into. Its just easy to remember.
By the way - Great idea for a thread!!!
 
sue4u2, one lame, hurried thought I didn't know I WOULD BE STUCK WITH FOREVER.. :wink:
although I was behind a jeep the other day with a license tag: s4u2b..good thing the light changed..:shifty: I wanted that tag.
