Cmon, play fair, shove a 33 or a 456 after your name to help differentiate.

Some of us have weak mental facilties.

Are you trying to remember for vendetta reasons? Or just for getting to know the people you're posting with?

Ooh for getting up close and personal. I'm not really a viennetta fan Zigzag.

Wink

I have just seen a TheStunningCunt and a CunningStunt.

Which has made y face literally go Confused.

Sad days.

I know at least one's an OldieButGoodie. But WHICH ONE?

It's like the polar bear crap all over again.

I don't know actually it was a wild guess. I think im wrong. I'm 23% sure TheCunningStunt is the original. Maybe.

Gosh, your phone's getting worse, Chaos. It's started repeating stuff in the same post

There's a Chaotic someone on her who I always think is you. And then she only posts one, single sensible post and I know it isn't.

And I am not 44 [unhappyface]

TotalChaos was, I think you'll find - here first! Grin away with you. Go on.

You should be, erm, mumsycoochicoo56.

And I'm pretty sure CunningStunt is the original - iirc when rude names come up periodically there seems to be some agreement on not actually having Cunt in a user name (apart from Buppy of course who hides it nicely by adding an ing).

I frightened MarySA off, eventually [snurk]. I'm a bit disappointed that I don't know who she is these days because she seemed very nice.

I've had this name for a while, btw. Ever since the last time Chaos complained about name - capital letters I think was the problem then.

I thought stranded was stealth for a while and was a bit Shock at some of the posts.

Does get a tad confusing when people have very similar names and people do get very territorial - have seen several threads where someone has asked someone else to namechange.

Remember one with a poster with the initials WWW who was quite quite furious with someone else with the same intials even though the original poster didn't really post any more as she'd gone to the other place (I may have made that last bit up)
