I started using Mergatroy on IRC bulletin boards, where it was not the done thing (uncool) to use your real name. When I started using paltalk I continued to use it; there is a town in QLD where I am only known as Merg; so I used it in here and it has a nice ring to it (being called Merg).

Hi Beth and Marj.

I only have a user name because when I joined GN's (1st August, 2009), I tried to use my own name and couldn't because there was already another member with the same name. I then tried a few variations but they were apparently already in use too. I then decided that since I have always had the "Travel Bug", I would try that. It worked...and here I am!!

Cheers smile 

 Beat you to it Pam   lol    I didn't realize I had been a member for so long until you mentioned 2009 so I looked it up and I have been a member since September 2008. Time flies when you are having fun...

I used Pam as I can never think of a catchy name to use.
