    From a priest mentioned in my favourite episode of Father Ted. When I had logging on problems on my work PC I also ran concurrently with Father Jack Hackett and from 1999ish to about 2005 I posted as Dude.</p>

    Mine is...

    a completely random name that I've been using on BBSes since 1993. I have no connections to muscle cars, horses, America or cowboys. No, not even in a Brokeback Mountain way either.

    2 reasons

    1. Part-time resident of Burgundy (hopefully becoming full-time from August 2010).
    2. Rather partial (some might say too partial) to the red wine of that region.

    Although some might argue that this is just 1 reason, suitably acted upon.

    A lot of people call me Matty Boy at work, so i swapped the M for a F to not make it obvious who i was. Then i started DJing ages ago so i stuck in the DJ making DJ Fatty Boy. But now i'm not a DJ, I'm not a Fatty and i'm not a Boy.
