Change of Name
#1
Hi all, just a post to tell everyone, I have changed my name on the forum, from Zion to Sol, as I now understand the old name has some connotations I would rather not be associated with as I am non-political, non-religious and non-affiliated so I decided on Sol, hope this makes sense.

The world is becoming a crazy place, I would rather not get involved in that craziness.

You are certainly a ray of sunshine to us whatever you are called.
Now a 2019 K9 1.2 petrol.
Before a 2010 B9 1.6 HDi diesel.

Even with all the craziness I never thought about a possible connection, not even once.

Ah sounds good but no, Sol was the Greek God of the Sun who guards the day, a duty previously held by Apollo...who is our site owner - so really along that line!

Thanks, It was never intended to - and I got it from a song by the late great Bob Marley, "Zion Train" (what a tune) - but it was pointed out to me by someone that it has other meanings closely related to the current wars going on (both of them) so I decided to change it so as not to appear to condone or oppose either side(s)

Right. My first association would have been the underground city from The Matrix.

Ah yes I did not think of that one! A valid connection to have, and more along the lines of the way I think (and it seems, you do)

Mine was also Bob Marley, but a different track, Mr. Lion.
