I've been wondering that about other posters

In the blue box. My clickable log in name has the s taken off the end and &#2026 instead. I've seen someone else with it now as well. Exactly the same symbols and numbers.

No, you're both very fragrant, of course.

Well, we can't be having bigger boxes - they'll all want one.

Greedy, that's what you are. Extra numbers as well as an extra big box.

Its not just you stripeyknickers, I've seen it quite a few times today. I think I'm on classic and IE

No random symbols for me, it's "stripeyknickersspottysock?"

I'm using firefox, if that's useful to you.

stripeyknickersspottysocks · 22/06/2010 23:06

See its not even right on Firefox. Its Stripeyknickersspottysocks, with an s at the end.

I noticed last week I was Stripeyknickersspottysock. Thats just silly, who would wear just one sock?
