Mongu – wysiwyg is the acronym for ‘what you see is what you get’ as I like to pride myself on the thought that I try to be fairly plain speaking. I used to go by this monicker on several forums but have recently been using pondlife on other forums instead as it better reflects my position as low down in the food chain!

haha….thank you Wysiwyg 😉

There you go!

Ben I thought you were older than that… I was thinking that you were in your Early 20’s!

Almost 18.

It is very interesting to see how old everyone is. In some cases… it certainly is not what was expected. I suppose over time we all just naturally make assumptions at what the other person looks like, how old they are etc… I certainly did.

Hi, Mongu.

“I always assumed Kev35 was…35,”

Indeed he was once, but it all seems such a long time ago now….
When I registered for the forum my imagination totally deserted me and I could only come up with kev (original eh?) and tacked 35 on the end as that is my house number, or was it my IQ?

“Hopefully I don’t come accross as either juvenile or a boring old fart, not that I’d want to know if that were the case anyway!”

I think I probably come across as both in equal measure;)

Wys,

Mongu is a town in Western Zambia where I once saw a leopard in a tree, pawing a freshly killed kudu. It left a lasting impression on me – I wasn’t on safari or anything, just travelling through.

The airport code for Mongu is MNR.

Anyway – how come wysiwyg?

16 (Until today Y11)

15, YR10 😎

I am always particularly gobsmacked that Saab is only 15. He sometimes writes more meaningful posts than my MD!

Also, why do you use the name Mongu?

Steve, can you imagine all those John Smiths and Fred Bloggs if everyone used real names 🙂

No, I think a screen name is better. I’d prefer to be called “mongu” than “Adam23” or some other corruption of my name, and I’m too lazy to type out my full name as you have so nobly done.

It is interesting though to know how old somebody is. Some people (Saab, T5, A330C) seem to be mid-20s when they are in fact much younger. Others are realistic – I would have tagged KabirT as 18-19 and Greekdude as late 20s, which is more in the ballpark. Others are just impossible to place. I always assumed Kev35 was…35, and Hand87_5 was 16 (2003-1987) – just shows how wrong we can be.

Hopefully I don’t come accross as either juvenile or a boring old fart, not that I’d want to know if that were the case anyway!

16 (not that I post much, but I’m here 🙂 )

Hah, I feel young at only 15 🙂

18 on 1/8

I was 18 last week

S**t you guys, you make me feel ancient.

I’m the old fart 53
Why are so many of you putting N/A in your profile D.O.B
And why do so many of you use a pseudo name, I’m just curious
