Oh my GOD, what am I going to do??????

I have this dilema, its blown my whole world apart. I don't know how I'm going to get through this, please help!!!!

You see its like this. I started working at Barclays back in 97. At work my network logon was defined using the normal rule of first 6 chars of surname plus my initial, hence entwisi. Now I was on the net at this point but tended to have all sorts of logins depending on where I was as there is another Ian Entwistle(a doctor of physics at UMIST) who had already grabbed most of the ususal ian.entwistles logins (Hotmail etc). So I decided that I'd use entwisi. No matter where I've been, web forums, email addresses, anywhere I have never found anyone else has grabbed entwisi. Its sort of become my alter ego. If you see anything written by entwisi its pretty much guaranteed I wrote it. At work we all have nicknames, I'm entwisi there as well.

Then Yesterday my world fell apart. You see we all got new laptops and horror of horrors are connected to a new Domain. And its happened, I'm no longer entwisi!!!!!!, I'm entwisi1. How can this happen??? Its just not cricket!!!

Please please please, help me throught this traumatic experience whilst I find myself again.

You now have me confused! When I used the accyweb toilets written on the back of the door in big bold lettering is:-

entwisi is 1 too,
for a good time email me,
teh address is..... (Sorry entwisi I'm not showing the address to prevent too much traffic crashing the servers)

I assumed it was your handwriting because you have a habit of putting the as teh

P.S. why haven't YOU answered me!!!!

You could console yourself that you are at least entwisi 1 and not entwisi 2 or 3.

Why bother about a pen name? Just make up any old rubbish - I certainly did. In fact, I was to lazy to even think something up. There is a massage parlour next door to where I am called T'ease and another building over the road called the Tea building. Easy. I just used that, or summat like it.

All you need to do is to get the other entwisi sacked. If you are any good at hacking I am sure you can set him up

entwisi · 15-03-2006, 14:51

There isn't one, the have just decided to add a number to everyones userids!

Ian dear, does the phrase containing the words "life" and "get a" spring to mind?

However, get Julie to make you a nice camomile tea and lie down in a darkened room for a while. If that doesn't work, trying lying on the floor and drumming your heels. Works for me.
