After one of the characters from one of the greatest films, Zulu.
Think I'd tried to register under a couple of other names, already taken, and must have been watching the aforementioned film fairly recent to registration. Thought it'd be a safe bet no-one had the name.

My real name is sometimes shortened to AB, and I often sign emails that way. One of my colleagues started making up other names for me with the initials AB... and came up with this. Couldn't have airbabe as it was already taken.
Couldn't think of anything else!

C-I-M,
Through an amazing co-incidence this very thread is already up to eight pages on Jet Blast.
Spooky!

Amazing but true indeed. That's why it was so helpful of me to point out the goldmine of wit and wisdom lying just a click away! 
Anyway, I have noticed that some people get a bit peeved at those who start duplicate threads without using the search facility first. There was an example here just the other day.

Duplicate threads, within the same forum, just weeks apart... *sigh* Of course, by 'weeks' one could mean 52 weeks. It all depends on bias.
I still find it hard to believe that some people don't read Jet Blast?
One learns so much on all aspects of daily living. And errr, not living. Amazing resource.

A nickname I picked up about a dozen years ago working surrounded by scientists. It was the result of a slight difference in opinion over our relative approaches to scientific endeavour.

Whoops - flame retardant time!
QDM - the comment was a good-natured little tease pointing at one of AerBabe's own posts, to which she replied in an equally good-natured way.
And it had a smiley.

Oooh, men in uniform! Well, boys. Hmm, not my thing.
QDM - I bet you work wonders on your patients. Are they too scared to remain unwell?
Anyway, now I'm going to stop hijacking this thread!
