That's pretty damn cool tbh, wanted an X1 since I was about 15. Just as I started to be able to afford one they went out of business So; if that happened to be an X1, and you happen to want to sell it, give me a shout /offtopic So where did Ghys come from then?
Close. I am a Sikh (born and raised, I'm not religious). The common (inoffensive) slang for the men of my religion is "Sardar", which originates from the Persian word for "leader", seeing as it was basically the Sikhs who kicked the Mughal's asses out of India back in the day. This word is further shortened by us anglicized upper-class Indians to "surd". The blazed bit used to be true, not anymore.
In all seriousness, I assumed/picked up/may as well say knew most or all of that. Picture of you from the "What do you look like" or "photo of the day" thread combined with knowing what the other meaning for the word surd was combined with some common sense got me there a couple of months ago
And for all these years I have been reading Stonedturd. Sorry, hope it doesn't offend but really I did think you were called that. Guess I should read things a bit closer in future.
For the first month or so of reading SS' posts, I thought it was "stonesurd". Then one day I saw the "d"
Only the oldest of the old school will remember the origin of my name. (however, it's not interesting in the slightest...)
