When I first started on RR, I had an old seat Ibiza with the 'open air' roof. My name links to that Ibiza and comes from the film About a boy. Hugh Grant's character says: "They say that no man is an island. Well I am, I'm f**king Ibiza!". I get Simon and Garfunkel lodged in my brain when I see your username Why is that? Lyric from one of their songs?

I get Simon and Garfunkel lodged in my brain when I see your username Why is that? Lyric from one of their songs? "I Am A Rock"?
"A winter's day, in a deep and dark December I am alone Gazing from my window to the streets below On a freshly fallen silent shroud of snow I am a rock, I am an island
I've built walls A fortress deep and mighty That none may penetrate I have no need of friendship Friendship causes pain It's laughter and it's loving I disdain I am a rock, I am an island
Don't talk of love But I've heard the words before It's sleeping in my memory I won't disturb the slumber of feelings that have died If I never loved I never would have cried
I am a rock, I am an island I have my books And my poetry to protect me I am shielded in my armor Hiding in my room, safe within my womb I touch no one and no one touches me
I am a rock, I am an island And a rock feels no pain And an island never cries"
One has to be really old.

One has to be really old. ...or just have an old mother! Should have seen her face when I played her the Disturbed version of "Sound of Silence". Took her a couple of listens...

Hugh Grant's character says: "They say that no man is an island. Well I am, I'm f**king Ibiza!". And there was me wondering how that guy would know an austrian writer named Johannes Mario Simmel who wrote a novel with that name. Looking him up on wikipedia took me on a trip to other pages with a relation, first herethen there.

MexicanSteve, only used on here and probably some unused for years VW forums. I had a 2003 Mexibug and Lee at the garage in Oldbury called me that to differentiate from other bug owning Steves I guess.

On the German exchange at school we went to the Koln sports museum in which we had a mock boxing match between myself and a mate. It was Killer kerry vs jumbo josh. (Kerry is my surname)
Glad you asked, I feel it needs explaining. Bit of a cack username really...
