That’s my name

What’s the story behind your nickname?

Well, it’s there for the world (or the one or two people who occasionally pop by) to see at the foot of every post I create on this site.

It’s a rework of my surname and I’ve been called it for donkeys years. Everyone at work, even my boss uses it. I guess my first name, Dave is quite popular and there are a lot of us about, so the use of the nickname is highly individual and singles you out in particular.

I even have it on the football shirts I wear along with the number 65.

It’s me.

Hi, I’m Balders. Nice to meet you 👌
