[Pickledeel]

Thanks all for your welcome. Specifically on the source of the name - it had its origins in the back blocks of Beijing when I did indeed drink some 'pickled eel'. In truth it was probably mostly formaldehyde given the way I felt the next day. Not sure if links will work in this forum but the event sparked a story telling blog and the incident itself was captured in a blog (I see I can't yet post links) called, well Pickledeel of course smile
We had an amazing few days around Oberon - more on that a bit later once I have written it up. We learned heaps and encountered some very generous folk ready to help. We also ran into a surprising number of folk like us, out for the first time.

 

[goody2shoes]

Well, pondered the forum name for quite a while when signing up.
Without a creative bone in my body all I could come up with was a play on words ...... 2 meanings.
Dig'n-it (as in loving it), while Dig'n-it (as in digging up gold).

[Flowerpot]

As there are loads of new members,
would any of you like to share how you came up with your forum name,
some are obvious,
others not so?

 

[Gem in I]

Started with sapphires, found out they were found in oz and could take the kids camping so after the first trip searched online for more info and couldn't get past PA for knowledge and variety of stuff I thought there's a bit of a gem in everyone who contributes and also I am a gemini with a split personalty :lol: and I thought it was a bit reflective of the nature of the forum which creates a balance of the two sides. Now where did I put my medicine lol arty: only joking but from research provided from members of this forum we have taken road trips/holidays to and around qld, n.s.w vic and w.a. so far, discovering gems,gold,artifacts,history and even new friends. With a tent and basic supples the only real expense has been the fuel.

Thanks for asking.

 

[Dragon Man]

'Dragon Man' because I have been a St. George Dragons Rugby League Club Supporter all my life, and I even started a Rugby League Club in Ballarat called the 'Ballarat Dragons', and because of my fanaticism with the Dragons, people were calling me the Dragon man. So I use it

But I prefer to be called by my real name 'Ken'. :lol:
