Tip of the day

Never ask a child IF they need the loo... moodlum

Quote of the week

CaptainNancy's (admirably succinct) family rules: "Don't be a dingbat/duffer. Keep calm and carry on. Dream big. Shut up and get on with it."

Recipe of the week

Carmenere's cinder toffee: sweet, sticky, made-in-five-minutes toffee squares that'll spark off a few 'yums' among the 'oohs' and 'aahs' of your little fireworks-watchers.

My absolute fave is this:

"Prayers. Before I found out I was going to have a boy, I only had girls names chosen. If I do have a girl in the future I am naming her Aria Ocean or Aria Leilani. I love original names! :-)

Behold, the latest fad in greeting people: stating a random noun. As in, "Fishsticks. My name's Aria Ocean and I'm a new-age CD compilation featuring 40 hits by your favorite artists. Like Enya..."

Read that before, good isn't it?
Heres one of my favourites...

"
Hunter Maverick Maarten. My little boy was named after his Daddy. My husbands middle name is Martin, we just chose to spell it differently. ... I wouldn't trade my kids for nothing. God Bless You!

Alright - does it count as naming-someone-after-someone-else if the names aren't spelled the same? Not even vaguely the same? Answer: I does if you're an illiterate hillbilly! No, I wouldn't trade them for nothing. I'd trade them for a new muffler or some possom traps! "

It's what I wish I could say. wink

I like the idea of a 'bisexual name', though.

Oh, and Camden Trevor is my favourite. Sounds like a second rate petty thief in the Kray Twins' circle.
I posted but didn't see how the rest of the thread went. Dearie me...

this thread from yesterday v similar shock grin
No thanks!

<<coward>>
I've seen this site before, hilarious!
I especially love this comment:

"the younger one is kryslyn (like chrislynn)"

Death to all vowels! The Ministry of Truth says vowels are plus undoublethink. Vowels are a Eurasian plot! Big Brother, leading us proles to victory!

...I volunteer you to start that trend in the style of that piece linked in the OP, Eyeballs...
I love it, far more realistic then here tbh. It can be a bit of a love in on the name threads where everyone gets twisted up trying to say the name is a pile of poo without upsetting the op. Better to tell it like it is

Links and smileys: To insert a smiley face,  , type [smile] or :)
For a big grin,  , type [grin] or :o
For a wink,  , type [wink]
For a shocked face,  , type [shock]

Links The simplest way to insert a link is to enter the link itself, surrounded by [[ and ]]. So if you type [[www.mumsnet.com]], the link will display as http://www.mumsnet.com. If you want your link to display text other than the web address itself, leave a space after the address then add the text before the ]]. So "Look at [[www.mumsnet.com this page]]", would display "Look at this page".
