• 2FA temporarily disabled, emails not working

    Two factor authentication (for most of you 'email a code') has been temporarily disabled while we figure out why emails are not being received by large numbers of users. Emails are not sending site-wide. Please continue to use AF-UK as normal but note that you may be asked to log back in once this is re-enabled.

Where did your forum name originate?

When I was at university, my housemates girlfriend used to visit on Tuesdays.

For bit of fun, I used to do Taco Tuesdays for the house.

As she only ever saw me cook Tacos… She assumed I was Mexican…

 
On most of the now defunct forums I was "Paddy" due to my Irish ancestry and as a tribute to my late father who was always called Paddy as he preferred it ro his given name of Cyril.
I started off on Arnies as Paddy, but after one of rhe crashes where everyone had to re-register I became Zen as ai was a moderator on a forum that had banned a load of the Arnie Kiddies and I couldn't be bothered with the abuse. After I got banned for publishing a section of the Labout Party manifesto suggesting they might "control" the sale of replica guns, i used an alternate email and rejoined as "Colin the Ferret".
As I got older I got boring and literally just use my First name and first letter of my surname.
