My one's pretty obvious. Bas is for Basildon - O is for Orient - fromthatLondon I got from 'Two Pints of Lager and a Packet of Crisps' as they used to say referring to us lot down here.
In the past I could of been ChiOfromthatLondon or NorOfromthatLondon
Hey Chi, howz it going man or
Hey Nor, wanna buy some gear
I'm glad I moved.
For many years now I've actually thought of myself as Bas rather than my birth name.
Why did you pick yours?

I live 10 minutes walk away from Nagoya Grampus Eight stadium (ex-home of Lineker, Wenger and Dragan Stojkovic) here in central Japan.

Throttle Blipping is the term used to describe the rev-matching technique where motorcycle rider momentarily “blips” the throttle to increase engine rpm to better match the revs to the road speed when downshifting. You've probably heard riders blip their throttle as they downshift while rolling to a stoplight.

O from orient + Stralia because I live in Australia = Ostralia which sounds a bit like Australia. Self explanatory really.

As I’ve been watching the os for 71 years I guess that makes me one of the Orients oldest ( longest) supporters..

Named after a character in the Peter Simple column, the way of the world in the Daily Telegraph.Every month would be Nature by Redshank.As i loved the column and Orient play in red and I also go on nature walks,redshank seemed perfect I used to be orientwiz on other forums. Look up the names of the characters in the Peter Simple column and I am sure you will have a laugh.Laughing is a passion of mine I put before Orient.The writer of the column sadly is no longer with us.
