Kevin's Watch

Mutual flattery we'll have nun of that

Wow! An ex-nun?! As MM says, the diversity here is amazing!

I am a Kevin. I ruin stuff up.

I believe Kevin and Covenant are of similar effect, hence I used to have a photo of John Hargreaves as my avatar.

I make little sense. I hope they're still paying for it.

My name is the name of Pitchwife's hope.

i geuss this thread was created for more creative people than i.

Mine is a shortened version of Springwine.

Not really.

Mine's a combo of cyber for the tech, and weez from my last name, Wiesendanger. My last name would probably be pretty cool by itself.

My name stems from my lifeguarding days and was the unofficial name of my boat (her official name was the Julia Fry, but I thought it would be misleading to call myself Julia), the Navarino. The name is taken from the Battle of Navarino, the last great sea battle fought by wooden ships in which an allied British, French and Russian force defeated a Turkish and Egyptian armada at Navarino (now Pylos) in Southern Greece. I shortened it to Nav after a while as it's a bit awkward to say the whole thing all the time.

Navarino was always the workhorse of our little fleet. She lacked the raw speed of the rapid response boat and her older brother Peter Fry (imaginatively nicknamed Thunderchild) was everyone's darling due to its exquisitely crafted hull, so the Nav got all the dirty jobs. By the time I became coxswain her transom (the strongest bit of the boat, around which the rest is built) had already been split in a towing accident. Although the repair was good and her operational capacity was little affected, the transom eventually went rotten along the site of the damage and Navarino could no longer support the powerful engines we used in the rescue service. She was a tough old boat, able to endure astonishing abuse when the situation required it. Her finest hour was also my own, plucking four people from a smashed sailing cruiser in Force 6-7 winds off Chi Spit. She can now be found chugging round the (downright dangerous) Stoney Cove scuba diving centre in Leicestershire.

Here is a picture of me buzzing the half-sunken Normanton Church aged fifteen with Navarino, sometime before her first refit. It's funny that in later years I would have had very stern words for anyone who took a boat that close, and at such speed, to those rocks!

Very cool, Nav! Nic pic, too.

1. Because the krill looks cool.

and

2. Because "Nom" was already taken.

My name is as meaningless as my character.

Everything makes you cry,except for leper nookie or did that make you cry too?

Bwahahahahah

The name Balon (bal awn) just sort of popped into my head, when i was around 8 or 9 years old. I played my first computer game that required a game name, and i sort of appeared. It seems that George Martin's famous series also uses a person that has my name.......theives.......

Well mine's a bit of land where Giants used to live (bet you all didn't know that <grin>) BUT I chose it because at the time it summed up where I wanted to be. When I first came across Kevins Watch I lived in Canberra (capital city of Australia and one of the most DEPRESSING places I've ever lived). I had this dream that one day I would move to a sleepy country town on the coast where I could write a best seller. So the meaning to me was "to Reach the Sea". And, happily enough, I can say I reached the sea (moving to a sleepy seaside country town where my grandparents lived when they were alive). As for the best seller...well, one out of two aint bad!

My SN is an island, from a series of books from my favorite Author. The Author is L.E. Modesitt, Jr, the series is The Recluce Series, most known by the first book The Magic of Recluce.

It is also convenient, since I am fairly reclusive.... and of course then you have the brown recluse spider, a small, mundane looking thing that will seriously mess you up if you choose to darken its doorstep. So, that's me!

I loved the Magic of Recluce but could never find it or any other Recluce book since!

really? Wow! THere's now 13 books in the series.... I'm surprised you can't find any of them.

Digital Thought. Well, analog thought would be what we had before. There were perhaps rounder notes, but the ideas were full of jagged edges, blooms, and mysterious cloudy blurs. Now with the new Digital Thought, nothing can go wrong. Would you like to hear a song? "Daisy... Daisy..."

I thought there might already be a 'Stonemight' on here, but I thought maybe there isn't a 'Stonemaybe'.

I'm normally on here on a Friday.

I normally have a hangover on a Friday.

I always thought the effect of the Stonemight to be like having a hangover.

And yes I do have a hangover now.
