[Chalky, Inkspot] No.
[Kim] Yes!

*whooping, cheering, goes generally wild for Kim*

Thank you one and all and especially to ZK for a festive and entertaining go. Right: this one is.....*flattened trumped makes ham-fisted attempt at fanfare*....ABSTRACT!

I had assumed that ZK was male, on the basis of my theory that the more strange the nickname, the more likely the person is to be male. But I really want to hear Chalky's theory now.

I want to hear Chalky's theory too! My name is filched from "Insurance - the White Man's Burden", if anyone ever wondered...

isn't my nickname strange?

Sorry, everyone, but I had no chance to get to a computer today. Right, let's see..
[Raak] No.
[Software] Y..y..y..y..y...just about.
[Inkspot] No.
[Breadmaster] No.
[ZK] No. That's my favourite opener!
[snorgle] Strictly, yes. And Yes.
[Lib] No.
[Tuj] Not in any conventional sense.

[snorgle] Yes, a bit. It's not a hard and fast rule. But your name is less silly than, say, "DrQu+xum", "I Say! Porter!" or indeed my own. What is the origin of "Snorgle"? Or do I not want to know?
