He had me sussed. :)
Also East Africans sometimes abbreviate a name and add an Ba(woman)or Bo(man) to the front of the christian name. In my case Liam became, very appropriately, Limbo. the kenyan Kym we stayed with was known as Kimba and her son Timbo.
So this has got me wondering why and how you chose your Nick's here @ WW and if at any time you had a nickname why you got it and has it stuck?
Ta
Limbo blong toobumwheeleewheelee (another story ;) )
One of the (Swedish) girls suggested a drinking game. It involved a staring match with your opponent where the only word that you were allowed to say was "Blobfisk".
I thought that it would make a unique and catchy nick - the rest is history!
Us condors arn't very original with names, but can count!

Condor12 is easy to explain. I am the twelfth hatchling of my parent condors living in the Peruvian mountains.
Classic!
I think that should be "Blåsfisk" ;)
"Blåsfisk"
Blowfish - that could have been my nick! ;)
Mine stems from when I was going to Australia on a free jolly to present a conference and during my signup for a hotmail account my pal distracted me. He then sneaked in filled the form and submitted it for me. He chose ukgimp and I decided I could not be bothered so stuck with it.
It started a game of creating auto corrects in MS word. I liked it when ever he typed his name it inserted the word Muppet as his middle name. He even sent one off on a job application. Class.

I wasn't travelling when we visited - I had to work but, there are amzing things to do there. Sunset at the Tilapia hotel(amazing place) Mwanza with a cool bottle of locally brewed Kilemanjaro lager is not to be missed. the road to Mwanza is something else - and a ride in its own right;)
The only sight seeing we did outside of our journey took place in Uganda - so I'm not much help Im afraid.
Ive been racking my brains trying to remember the name of this cool restaurant i ate in. Its in Nairobi
Mike12345 - would that be CARNIVORE?
I ate there once - and it's not for the feint hearted (or vegetarians)
Basically it is fried Zoo over about ten courses! If you finish the first 10 then they repeat the selection for as long as you can continue! - there are white flags on the tables that you raise when(not if) you get beaten by the sheer quantity of Meat dishes. :)
Err.. I dont think I know you but - brown hair: yes - glasses: yes
One of the (Swedish) girls suggested a drinking game.............................
Niceone! Drinking games with Swedish girls has just become one on the list of things to do before im thirty!
Now where would I find.....
2odd...
Lazerzubb... it just goes to show how hazy your memory can become after beer!
I could always claim that "BlobFisk" is the Irish translation of "Blåsfisk"... ;)

I think we'll be making a detoir to that CARNIVORE restuarant.

Reason why i thought i knew you is cos i went with a guy called liam from yorkshire to kenya. Thought it might be you but its not. Nevermind. Good guess on the glasses and hair front though! ;)
Condor12 if you go to Carnivore be sure to sample the chicken organs on a stick, cant rememeber the proper name. Smoke horseman ciggies if you smoke, ther the best cigs in the world, and of course drink tusker beer.
And if your up the north of kenya, check out the oasis near lake turkana and mount kulal near the chalbi desert if you get chance. Suppose you'll need a jeep or truck for that though!... oh and shimba hills in the south.. i could go on but i wont.
:)
I'm heading to the South of Kenya so I'll head to the shimba hills and I'm sure I'll have time for (a few) tusker beers :)

Lame or what?

As for JuniperWasting, it is a setting in a book I have been writing for the last 6 years. A school of higher learning of sorts.
That, and I have never had trouble with getting a unique handle or email with it.

Thanks, but it feels lame to still be messing around with programming those kind of things when you get to my age (which is confidential info by the way)!
