Just got an email from one Dickson Brain.

That's right. He called himself Dick Brain. No need to bunnyrabbitize here. Oh, no. He came up with this wonderful moniker all on his own (or possibly with a previous baiter's help).

I think I'm going to need a pic of Dick with his name on a sign before I can proceed.

If anyone else is interested, his addy is [email protected].

ETA: Did I mention his subject line was LET'S PULL THIS THROUGH?

This applies to all lads, but especially this one.

I think this lad needs a bris. Laughing

Proof of the bris!!!

Maybe he was trying to call himself Brian Dickson? Maybe the name was lost in translation.

^^^I would bet money that that's EXACTLY what he was trying to call himself. The names lads come up with for themselves always crack me up. They mix up first & last names, they get letters in the wrong place - and they always do it with a certain, uniquely laddish look to it. I've had baits with Peters John, Blain Harrold, Williams Henry, and several who flip-flopped back and forth with their first and last names (especially Smith Peters, who went from Smith Peters to Peters Smith and back to Smith Peters several times over the course of our bait). I've also encountered several lads names Brain, which I'm confident were originally supposed to be Brian.

And of course it's always fun when you find one of them using a name they obviously got from a baiter. The first time I got a spam email in my catcher from Mike Hunt, I just about spit my teeth out! Laughing

Chainy thats funny. Laughing

Dick Brain,hahahaha

I had one tonight calling me mum and he is way older than my character.

I told him I liked that and hoped to be mummy to him soon. Cool

Maybe I can be "mummy dearest"......

@cachuma: I have noticed that the lads often reply to me as "Mr {firstname}" (cracks me up when I get "Dear Mr Ethel") - I recall reading somewhere that some West African languages/cultures have the family name first and then the given name afterwards. Anyone know if that's right?

Lots of places do including, I believe, eastern Europe. I am fairly sure that you are correct.

Hi,

I tried him and got a tardy reply (he claimed he was attending some global financial crisis meeting in Geneva). The subject line of the email I got was 'let's pull this through for real'

So my next step is to decide what to say about my character. Is there anything I need to know with this one? Is there anything that won't work?
