I am a reincarnation or a mountain

Reincarnation of what?

[Flying_Dutchman]

Well, I'm very inspireless, that's why I've chosen for the name 'Flying Dutchman'.

It is written on the back of KLM aircrafts and it means in dutch 'Vliegende Hollander'.

[Vinnie-Winnie]

Vinnie-Winnie is a nickname given to me by my much beloved housemates whilst I was studying in the UK.

Vincent changed in Vinnie (90% of people I knew at the end of Uni called me like that) and then Emily(god bless her she was such a sweet person :thumbsup2: ) started to call me Vinnie-Winnie (Winnie as in Winnie the pooh )

Don't be embarassed about that! I am a PlayStation fan, and I have a Rayman game. Though I must confess that my favourite games are the Silent Hill ones - good storylines, puzzle-solving, boss fights and not a fast pace so you can relax and play them for hours on end. For a fast game I like Gran Turismo, Devil May Cry and things like that. Final Fantasy 9 is a beautiful game that I have spent hours playing and Final Fantasy 7 would be Ok if I could get out of that damned reactor at the beginning Fur Fighters is also good for a laugh, all those soft toys trying to blast the :censored: out of each other

I don't play very ladylike games I'm afraid

Thanks for your understanding Louise.

You appear to be quite an expert on PS.

Ladylike? What’s ladylike nowadays?

I haven’t seen different or adjusted planes for lady-pilots yet; same for cars, computers, drills, grass cutters, you name it.

About video games, as long as you’re a fan and have fun, keep on and enjoy it

Cheers

Well, I'm very inspireless, that's why I've chosen for the name 'Flying Dutchman'.

It is written on the back of KLM aircrafts and it means in dutch 'Vliegende Hollander'.

And unless I am quite mistaken, there's an opera called
"Der fliegende Holländer" by Richard Wagner.
It all relates to a legend about the captain of a whale hunting ship
who is doomed to sail the seven seas to hunt a white whale.
Wasn't there a famous movie too?

It's true that there's a ship called 'Vliegende Hollander' as well. I don't know very much about it, but it's indeed a kind of legend. Here's a story about it:

Thee's is also indeed a movie about it. But I don't know whether that movie is related with the story above
