Just for fun why not post the origin of your user name, i noticed we have several intriguing names here on TIB and i thought it might be interesting to hear the story behind them.
Mine is simple "Tel" is short for terence mostly heard and used in cockney slang

Felix

it's my real name lol

Felix

is cockney the slang with the rhymes, right? "apples" for "stairs" and things like that

tel

Yup, but there is also "rhyming" slang , ie..Apples and pears (stairs) Boat race (face)

Voy Kay

Likeable thread which I wish to contribute to.

VOY is short for Voyager, my nickname during my inspection days when I inspected/audited/evaluated thousands of hotels and airplane companies worldwide. Also as a Trekkie since over 50 years, it's my favourite Star Trek show.
KAY is merely how you pronounce the last letter of my family name, starting thus with a 'K'.

And here I thought Felix stood for:
Fantastic
Energetic
Likable
Interesting
Xenial

😄 😆

Thanks Voyager!..... interesting, your former job sounds terrific

I have no allusions that I am an excellent artist. Bob always says, "We just want and indication of a ....".
All I hope for is to produce an Indication of (good) Art.

Everyone's name stories are so interesting! My husband and I are professional house flippers, so that's where mine originated.

House flippers?....Not a term used here in the UK, i suspect the term means to buy and sell for profit?

Yes, like the TV shows lol. Buy, fix, sell.
