Post by: FC Silver Fox on January 28, 2010, 07:58:57 AM

So... new messageboard.... new name...... new avatar..... same old silly posts.... hey, can't change everything.

That's a damn shame. I would have hoped you would at least have held a competition to come up with a new name for you!
Does Popeye Doyle not fit?

...I know it is a term I have used for you in the past, but it will be hard to see FC go - but worst of all, my career as an avatar maker appears defunct.. :'(

I hope you realise the confusion this is going to cause me.    ???

Silver Fox is the nickname me and my mates use for my Dad.  We regularly have a "Spot the Fox" competition at home games (we're in the Hammersmith, him in the Riverside).

Now I'm going to have to adjust to the fact that the Silver Fox on here is not my old man.  I see the potential for many a hilarious misunderstanding... ;)

I have as good a grasp of French as Del Trotter, but "Cur d'Argent" sounds about right

Sacre bleu, what is the world coming to ??? Next we'll have the old Corked Hat calling himself Dingo and if my planned move back to Adelaide comes off there'll be a name change for me as well. What to do, what to do ?

Aha .. renard argenté?  une dame rusée par autre nom

(OK, so it loses a little in translation)

Le Renard argenté doesn't really cut it and I didn't like the look of "French Connectio".
"FC Silver Fox" is perhaps a compromise. Let me give it a try and see if it fits.

As for you , Doctor,  you just behave yerself. I'm watchiing you. Got my instructions from the old man.

This day marks the end of an era! I must say that I'm very sad to see French Connection being retired, but I do like the new moniker. It's kind of... fitting.

Welcome aboard Silver Fox!

Maybe put the wine bottles in your avatar for a while till we get used to the new screen-name???

Just a thought...I do like the fox with the FFC eyes.

Can't think of a finer man, to bloody me up, than our dear Mr. French.

So, couldn't you have just put a space between "French" and "Connection" and the thing would have wrapped?

By the way, "Silver Fox" is one of the pet names HatterMom has for me, along with "Dilwad," "Huh?" and "Pain in my @#$!"

OK, Dilwad that's enough out of you.
