Welsh Audio Man 21 0 Posted June 12, 2006 Report Share Posted June 12, 2006 QUOTE (stevemitchell @ Jun 12 2006, 08:59 PM) Will you change your alias to WelshyDJ19 on your next birthday?? Well its a possibility, or my other idea is that it can stay welshyDJ18, in memory of how old i was when i 1st joined DJU! So when im 70 with my zimmer frame with built in Ipod/mp3/or whatever technology is around, then i will be able to say to the younger DJU members, i was 18 once, still got the name to prove it! http://www.dj-forum.co.uk/html//emoticons/rolleyes.gif Link to post Share on other sites
