Hey there all :)
I have a problem with people who change their names here on this site to avoid being hassled over something stupid they said - or are just here to make trouble under an assumed name that can't be easily traced.
Therefore - I'm hereby declaring that the person you used to know as "chrispy" is now known as "omaroo".
It's the name of our property - so now I'm calling myself that here so that I don't forget either who I am or where I'm from.
Cheers
Omaroo :)

well....Chris really...)

Oh I change my handle from time to time just to annoy those who want to be annoyed
Our place's name is Windsong..... maybe I can change to that. But then again...maybe that sounds too placid.
Hey there is a place in Namibia(Africa) called Omaruru. I lived there once in the dark ages.
Where is your rig pic?

How's that for a coincidence.
Our address in Aliso Viejo, California was "Windsong".... and you lived at an "Omarruru".

I lived in Namibia for a short while. We lived in Swakopmund and used to pass through Omaruru on our travels to Etosha or the Waterberg Plateau.
What a small world.

Hi Ando
Yes a small world indeed.
I worked for a company by the name of FCU collecting karakul pelts from the farmers. I think it was the year 1964.
Over time we have criss crossed South West Africa/ Nambia from Ai Ais in the south to the northern border at Ruakarna and Vila Perez in Angola and beyond.
Have visted Swakopmund on a number of occasions and have done the road up to Cape Cross, Usakos, a visit to the 'White Lady', the Petrified Forest and a memorable journey through Etosha, just to name a few.
My last visit there was in 1984. Must go again one day.
Cheers

I've often thought about changing my "handle" to properly reflect myself but most moderators object to a$$hole so I just stick to Russell.
I did use CHOP on one over 50s site and eventually someone asked me what it meant and I got in trouble.

Russell

This topic came up a few weeks ago. We collectively decided Luxoluk should change his name to locust!
We have changed his rig

Well Chrispy, (sorry omaroo)
I preferred Chrispy. You had established a specific personality under that name.
Now you have to re-establish your "new" personality under the new screen name.
bugga, its too hard.

Thanks Sand Man :)
"Chrispy" is a kid's name I've had for 40 years or so, and I'm kind of over it..... but I know what you mean about establishing a personality which needs to be transferred. I guess it was time to bight the bullet and go with the new persona on all the forae (is that a word?) I visit.
hehe... thanks for the welcome! :)
