Indeed, I was startled (and pleased) that "bruce" was available as a username in several online forums - including, Monty Python notwithstanding, the Australian Railpage.

However, not in the Edwards site when I started blogging toward the end of my stay in Oz (possibly I was "bruce" in the previous incarnation of that site, but if so, I had forgotten the password to the freemail account that its "forgot your password" function was tied to, so ce'st la vie). So I added my final initials.

And kept the username because it was easier when I signed up for blogs after that.

Pronunciated "Bruce" "Mick" "Eff".


I've been accused of being a Marxist, yet while Harpo's my favourite, it's Groucho I'm always quoting. Odd, that.
