My username

Lord Cardigan · 07-12-2014, 04:41 PM

I would like to change my legendary username to 'Lord Cardigan', as 'Willdasmiffking' is now somewhat of an embarrassing reminder of my former years..

C'est possible?

(For the sake of clarity, the real Lord Cardigan was an ancestor of mine and I use that name for most things on the internet.)

Throughout his life in politics and his long military career he characterised the arrogant and extravagant aristocrat of the period. His progression through the Army was marked by many episodes of extraordinary incompetence

He was educated at Harrow where, notwithstanding the fears of his family that a childhood head injury caused by a dangerous fall from a horse had seriously damaged his intellect, he showed aptitude in Greek and Latin.

an inspirational fellow to be sure

Early in the 1820s Brudenell met Mrs. Elizabeth Tollemache Johnstone (8 December 1797 — 15 July 1858). Her husband, Lt.-Col. Christian Johnstone, had been a friend of Brudenell's since childhood but, according to the account of Johnstone's mother, the wooing of his friend's new wife started soon after the wedding.

Quote:

After leaving his first wife, Elizabeth, he married for the second time, on 20 September 1858, to Adeline de Horsey, achieving still greater notoriety as he had been conducting an affair with her as his wife was dying.

Hahaha this guy's life ethic actually sounds quite hilarious. I vote yes on the name change.

edit: and now I know the origin of the "cardigan". Good thread!

Whilst serving in the Crimean War, Cardigan became close friends with comrade Lord "Dave" Doobs though this relationship was tragically cut short when "Dave" was killed in action just weeks after they met.

My personal favourite quotation about Cardigan comes from:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charge_...gade#Aftermath

Quote:

"After riding back up the valley, he considered he had done all that he could and then, with considerable sang-froid, left the field and went on board his yacht in Balaclava harbour, where he ate a champagne dinner."

Classy.

you PM Goat for name change. If he accepts, your name will be changed. But be warned... It will be permanent. I assume.
