Ohhhh it's a time for a story as boring as any other you'll hear this day, week, maybe even month. I'll try to keep it short though.

When I was around... 12, or so, at school, I had an English Media project with two other students where we would have to design a product and make marketing stuff and lots of other pointless things that come with teaching twelve year-old children Media.

We decided on a cleaning product, a washing up liquid/detergent kind of thing. We designed the packaging to be shaped like a bubble, and then were stuck with deciding a name, which if I remember actually took an awful long time.

Eventually, one of us (I'm inclined to think it's me but that's probably just nostalgia bias) decided to just flip the word Bubble to "Elbbub". However, I (I'm more sure that this was me who made this change but, again, I could be wrong) thought that the extra b in the middle looked a bit bulky, so we took it out and wrote "Elbub" on everything. I'm fairly certain I still have some of the 'work' lying around somewhere.

Anyway, spin on a month or so to the end of November in 2004, and two other friends were trying to persuade me to sign up to Runescape. However, I didn't want just any name as I had done in the past (stuff like "proyo4000" and "nic1992", because I wasn't very creative back then), I wanted something that I could use forever more on the internets.

So I typed in Elbub, which made my friends laugh because they thought it was a ridiculous word... But it wasn't taken within the game, and it was short, and didn't have any numbers or anything. So I stuck with it, and have done ever since.

...I said I'd make it short, didn't I? My apologies ;D
