Childhood memories. I loved comics, when I were a nipper. Eagle, Hornet, Wizard. I loved all the characters, but especially the sports connected ones. Alf Tupper, who worked all day as a welder, ate fish and chips for his tea, then went out and knocked two minutes off the world record for the mile. Bernard Briggs, who ran his own scrapyard business, but found time to play in goal for England at football, keep wicket for England at cricket, and play full back for England at rugby. William Wilson, who once drank from the stream of eternal youth, and was still winning long distance running races at the age of two hundred and seventy. Happier days.

From an episode of Fawlty Towers where Basil was desperately trying to get Polly to remember the Name of the horse that won him the money. It was brilliant comedy.

1960s BBC sitcom starring Derek Nimmo as a hapless clergyman: a sort of early Father Ted (but not as funny). He's the avatar. Plus I wanted a name with Gas in it and both Antonio Fargas and Trevorgas were gone (although my name's not Trevor).

In the early 90s some Whitbread pubs had consoles that could be used to play quizzes against other pubs in their chain, using an interactive program called the Twin Network (iirc).
I played it in the Baccy Jar, where there were a number of other Rovers fans. We had to have a sign in name, so there were various formats of Gas used to show our allegiance. Denis Rofe was the manager at the time, so I used his initials and added Gas and Doctor Gas was born. To this day some people still call me Doc.
I have used it as an online pseudonym since then.
