It's what I aspire to be.

And it has a sexual connotation. You know...because this is a porn site?

Funny, isn't it?

Mine is a simple combination of name initial followed by first part of surname... Cacophonous, but as simple as that...

The story of how I came up with my VEF (and several other websites) nickname is all very boring (but it's about time this thread had a little kick start

) I worked as a pig farmer for the first 22 years of my adult life and had just given it all up before joining the forum so I was an ex farmer.

I used to live at the bottom of Sun Rising Hill near Banbury. When the sun is up, it's risen...

I've always called myself Solid on the internet. I was a little drunk when I registered for VEF.

A Hiwi ([ˈhiːviː]) was a foreigner who volunteered to serve the Germans during WW II. Hiwi is a German abbreviation of the term "voluntary assistant" or Hilfswilliger, "willing to help". The word entered into several other languages during World War II when the German troops began to enlist volunteers from the occupied territories for supplementary service in a number of roles including auxiliary policemen, drivers, cooks, hospital attendants, ammunition carriers, messengers, sappers, etc. In the context of World War II the term has clear connotations of collaborationism, and in the case of the occupied Soviet territories also of anti-Bolshevism (widely presented as such by the Germans).
