Why do I get the feeling that's more than coincidental ? ;)

I think you need to reduce the geekiness factor and re-render.

   Heh, ok, I think I can help out here. It's probably slang originating from
'Lahndon'. Kna what I mean guv?
   I.e., not rhyming slang but a 'street' word nonetheless. It's a literal
meaning - 'bags' - " I want to keep it in my BAG", "I covet (want it in my BAG)" -
therefore >  - "Bagsy me first".

   As regards 'Dibs' and 'Dabs', I have a feeling that it has something to do with
"One potato, two potato, three potato four..." ? (Banana Splits?! ;)  But I'm
probably wrong here...

Well, dab is probably best defined as a tap or poke in the context dib is
meant, if I understood the origin correctly.

Okay, I will then. I hadn't been getting that group for a long time, and
just started again a couple days ago as a matter of fact.

So, bagged, in other words. That was too easy so I overlooked that. This is
kind of funny to me, and possibly to other North Americans too, saying bagsy
if it means bag in a roundabout way. If you say dibs no one knows what the
heck a dib is (not expect to anyway). Although it seems the same concept
still, which is to use a nonsensical word rather than clear meaning. Or am I
wrong?

Only one person from the UK actually traveled to the convention, but 
three non-UK nationals attended.  Mick is a UK national, but he didn't
travel to the convention because it was in his house:-)

I'd spell it with two Gs in the middle like baggsie or baggsey.
