Hello. It's Dickens Bicentennial Day tomorrow (7th Feb), and we'd like to mark Charles Dickens' 200th birthday with a special Dickens Namechange competition.
All you need to do to enter is change your Talk nickname in a Dickens-ish way - with a ref to one of his novels or characters, for example - and then post on this thread to give your new name a twirl.
Top marks will go to those whose changes are the funniest, cleverest, Dickens-iest Oliver twist on their current Talk nickname.
There'll be some ("ever so 'umble") prizes for the best namechanges posted between now and midnight tomorrow.
So, off you go! Suffice to say, we have great expectations... <groan>
