First name

[Zero the hero]

hey Alessandro (aka ZeroTheHero)
è bello sapere che c'è un altro italiano a cui piacciono i GONG
Intendo i primi GONG (Camenbert Electrique, AngelsEgg, You) :-)
sorry to all for this italian intermission

Ho letto solo ora! Tutto il filone Canterbury é forse il mio genere preferito, prova a sentire qualcosa degli "Hatfield and the north"...
Ciao!

Hehe...
Italians and prog-rock. Why does you guys have such good taste?

Thanks! So, let's listen some "Premiata Forneria Marconi","Area" and "Banco del Mutuo Soccorso"'s records!
Although I prefer UK and Canterbury scene, I can't stop listening to PFM early records.

[MarcoMike]

hey, wait a minute...  ...    doh!

nice to "meet" you guys!

[ubersam]

I read something about a Cunning Cow.. interesting, but my name is: Are now'ed   
Oh and yes, I'm dutch too.. kickass! 

[joelap]

hehe... I'm Italian-American, and although I understand 90% of what you were saying to one another, I can't add anything to the convo without looking like a fool misuing the language!  Thats why I pretty much only lurk at DIYitalia

I'm in. I've always put my real name at the end of posts but for some reason I used grapefruit for my username when I joined. I guess because not many other people used their real names, and I love grapefruit!

I really like this. It becomes much more personal when you can address people with their real name.

Like Stew I always use my real name in posts.

My displayname is my initials + a number as my initials were already taken when I first used this as an email address.

Can anyone guess what the number 42 is a reference to

BTW: Is the "ø" in my last name shown correctly in everybody's browsers? It should be an o with with a diagonal line, the same letter as an ö

Dave, you should read the book(s). I think I have read the Hitchikers Guide at least six times.

I once bought the BBC radioplay on casette tape on a trip to England (pre-internet trade era), but I have heard that it is not the original background music compared to the radio show.

Thanks, Jim.  Thanks for the suggestion Carsten, but I'm not sure when I would get around to reading something like that.  I still haven't made it through my 12th grade reading list. 

[puretube]

yes, Carsten, in the german browser I see your " ö " clearly with the diagonal dash through the "o" .
Do you see my two dots above the " o " ?

[Dave_B]

Using the English version of Firefox, I see both "ö" and "ø".

[markm]

I just love the KFC bucket! 

[R-Man]

yes i don't like calling people by their handle nick names it kind of feels like they don't want me to know get to know them at all....

Hi, I'm Raahem, (its pronounced Raahim strange yes) and I've had R-Man as a nickname since i was 9 (nearly fifteen now)

[JimRayden]
