About This Item

So why did I call myself Haggis Hunter?

Ever since my first job working on Oldham market in England I told my bosses wife how to catch a Haggis, and from that day on she nicknamed me Haggis. I have used the name Haggis or names to do with Haggis to log onto the internet. As I was actively Haggis Hunting at the time I found out about Geocaching, and the name Haggis was already used (by an Australian as well?), I decided to use the name Haggis Hunter. You can view my profile to find out about the art of Haggis Hunting.

So now you know why I am called Haggis Hunter, let's hear why you decided on your Geocaching name?

NOTE: If you have held onto this TB for more than 14 days, can you send me an email, letting me know what your intentions are?
I only like a TB to be held onto for longer than this, if it is going to be helped further along with it's journey.

Retrieve this interesting bug whilst running between a series of caches near Fen Stanton. My name is because I live in the nearby village of Willingham, and I have been known to pick up 'the things that people leave behind' whilst walking the dog early in the morning.

Grab It (Not from a Cache) 7/15/2006 Mr Nibbler grabbed it   Visit Log

Mugged my son for this one prior to dropping it in another cache in the same series today.

Why Mr Nibbler? My name is Robin and when I first entered chat many years ago I merely reversed it to Nibor. Very few people sussed it but those who did (and those of them who were American) assumed I was female and hit on me. When I asserted I was male I was accused of all sorts of things for having a "female" first name. I ask you!!!!!!! Anyway Nibor morphed into Nibbly to head this off at the pass and eventually became Nibbler. The Mr is merely a prefix to indicate just how right and proper I am (not).

Picked this one up to tell the origins of my caching name.

McD taken from my surname forms the first part of McD1, and the 1 comes from... well.. nowhere! I had to put it on as some one had already had the username of McD!!!!

Thanks,
McD

We have taken this unusual TB back to King's Lynn with us. Will move it on soonest. Our name? Its a flowering tree that we used to have in our garden many years ago. We chose it in desparation because every other name we chose had already been taken!
