A  lot of people have strange stories regarding their handle, so without
further ado, heeeeeeres mine.....


Imagine  the  scene, 1985, myself and a mate (Ivan Robinson) are heavily
into  hacking  games  on the old Speccy, we are reading the mags such as
Crash, Your Spectrum etc.  and we discover people have handles.  My mate
called  himself  Wurzel because he was originally from Needham Market in
Suffolk and had a right Suffolk accent.  So I pondered over what acronym
to  use,  I had a few good uns, Pandora, Astradyne, and others.  But one
evening  I  looked  in  the mirror at myself, the thick hair and thought
"God you look like a Mammoth", and it stuck!  The fact that mammoths are
rare  (extinct!)  fleecy  and  have  a  six foot cock describe me to the
ground, and Mammoth has been the handle since.

So  have  I  had my handle longest?  10 years and counting, cant be bad,
anyone got any wierd stories about their handles??

seeya all.

                                Mammoth.
