Not that I think anything of myself at all! Honest.

But I've noticed a distinct difference in replies with this new name!

WHY?

I'm still me?

I'm still a twat!


Confused

Harry Potter references bring with them certain assumptions...

I have no idea what your old name was.

But when I see 'Sirius' I go all gooey.

I don't know why.

Would you and I 'know' one another if I knew your old name ?

Probably not donkeybucket. I'm terrible at names and expect others to be the same. usual name is shown if you hover over the username!

and you go all gooey because he is just terribly ooh-er. Not in the films. I love Gary oldman and all that blah blah but could of done with someone a bit more shaggable. IMO.

I have 'seen you around', DNTMS, aka, ABF ! Grin

Don't think we have conversed before though ?

I go all gooey because of the image I had in my head of him from the books. A strong, manly man, type thing. Gary Oldman not shaggable to me because I always remember that EE 'Big Mo' is his sister and it puts me off ! And he looks a bit ('scuse the pun) 'weasley'.

When did that happen??? Why does it say your other name? What happens if I need to namechange to ask a question about pirate sex?

Earlier today Trillian said "I agree with Foofus" . Since normally everyone says "Iagree with Trillian" I was a tiny bit thrilled.

No one has EVER and I mean EVER said " I agree ....... (staying incognito)" before. Sooo yanbu

or Yabu I can't remember the Question

Yanbu, I namechange all the time, but have noticed that certain names provoke more ire it seems, I had one where I was flamed and noticed constantly, I changed Grin. It's odd because I barely even look at names, apart from when you know exactly who it is before bothering glancing up.
