When I started secondary school there was an arcade machine in the local chippy. I played that game to death and became pretty good at it. When you got the highest score you could add three initials and the score would be logged and flash up in the screen for everyone to see. The initials I used were ACE. The other kids all tried to beat the daily highest score but would always fail. Everybody hated the “Mysterious ACE” :joy:
After a few months I was caught putting my initials into the machine and the cat was out of the bag. Everyone now knew who ACE was and the name stuck. I felt like a celebrity :innocent: but the name only lasted about a year before I became known as “Mad Ralph” for various silly antics.
Let’s just say I wasn’t your average kid but I’m much better now. :crazy_face:

Hi

Yep, Lugsie, because of the shape of my ears.

As my life progressed, first known as Yorkie, because of my accent, and then finally, Gibbs after the NCIS Character.
