I don't think I've explained myself here yet. I started on forums when I was a hockey goalkeeper, and decided to refer to my club (winged sandals god, can never remember was he Greek or Roman), and be cocky about my skills at the same time (all keepers have a bit of a God complex, but I usually only let it out when talking to other keepers).

Then I joined a parenting forum, but at the time I was doing a lot of travelling, so Winged One still seemed appropriate.

And now I just seem to have adopted it for any forum that I join (I can't guarantee that all WO's that you meet are me, but I have certainly joined a few in my time, not active on most though). I do love looking at the robin following me around the garden though, and the magpies and crows up on the plot, so it's still not a bad handle (I used to watch birds when I was a tiddler, sitting in the boot of dad's then defunct Ford Zephyr in the back garden, with the lid pulled down and watching the trees behind the house for hours, so I guess it was a good idea from way way back).
