French Connection : official name change

[FC Silver Fox]

My handle doesn't fit properly on this new messageboard (too long).
So... new messageboard.... new name...... new avatar..... same old silly posts.... hey, can't change everything.

[White Noise]

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?

[LBNo11]

...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.. :'(

[mrska]

OMG...  French Connection is no more...   Silver Fox...  Hmmmmm   very descriptive mate! lol

[The Doctor]

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... ;)

[blingo]

And what, pray tell, would have been wrong with "FC"?????

[WhiteJC]

whats the French for Silver Fox?

[The Doctor]

whats the French for Silver Fox?

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

;)

Silver Fox- Arent they a shoddy bicycle branding from universal?

[GoldCoastWhite]

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 ?

[Logicalman]

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

(OK, so it loses a little in translation)

[FC Silver Fox]

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.

[The Equalizer]

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!

[Steve_orino]

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.

[McBridefan1]

Silver Fox to be sure, but you will always be Mr. French to me... 

[GoldCoastWhite]

Silver Fox to be sure, but you will always be Mr. French to me... 

And with that Mr McBF1 loses his FOF 2 virginity. I hope it was good for you young man !

[McBridefan1]

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

[HatterDon]

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 @#$!"

[McBridefan1]

OK, Dilwad that's enough out of you.
