Mine is a lyric from a Julien Baker song, and about setting personal boundaries in place.

This is Rusty Bear. My mum knitted him for me to take in my pocket to school on my first day, 63 years ago this week. He was originally a deep rusty-red colour, but after several washes in my pocket and a moth attack, he’s now light brown with darker patches.

I have an absolutely enormous monstera deliciosa who in her 18 years of life has stressed me out as a parent more than my actual human child. She's called Greta.

Sigh

It should have been schnitzel, which I far prefer now. Kievs just aren’t what they used to be, you know.

Perhaps one day I will pull my finger out and perfect the home made Kiev.

Nataliaa · 16/09/2024 00:24

Well it’s my name with an extra a. Just to make it slightly more exciting 🤣😑

Candyiris · 16/09/2024 00:24

I just put my finger on the keypad and squiggle circles. Whatever comes up I use.

I'll do it now....... Cerrutisoak.

I used to give usernames a bit of thought but I change so often I ran out of inspiration!

Nataliaa · 16/09/2024 00:23

I’m very boring. It’s just my name 😂

“He’s making a mockery out of you boy”

It will never get old 😂👌🏼

Why is it more funny with the Irish as well?

I’m Welsh and imagining the equivalent :

”Oh Bat, what’s occurring. What you doing in here now flying about. I’ll catch you now, in a minute. Tidy”

Show quote history

‘Oh butt, where toos he gone? Tampin I am, throw a dap at him now Gav’ 😂

Mine was because someone had really annoyed me shortly before I name changed.

MartinCrieffsLemon · 16/09/2024 00:08

I name change often when I get bored of my name

Currently it's because I was listening to Cabin Pressure and it was the episode with the Traveling Lemon. TheLemonisinPlay was already taken so I came up with this

I'll get bored again in a few months and we'll see what's around at the time to inspire me

JuvenileBigfoot · 16/09/2024 00:05

In-joke from a podcast I listen to l.

DreamTheMoors · 16/09/2024 00:05

I can’t tell you because what I thought were the moors were in fact not the moors but I still would like to see the moors.
And the Lake District.
And the Peak District.
And the coastal areas.
And in fact, England.
lol

LibyanFeet · 16/09/2024 00:00

It’s a nod to my background, and to someone I know who has an unfortunate habit of putting his foot in it. 😉

Ginandtoniconthedeck · 15/09/2024 23:59

I love gin and tonic and just replaced the whole wrap-around porch/deck on our house, so I can now enjoy a lovely G&T on my deck without worrying I'm going to fall through it!

Battlerope · 15/09/2024 23:55

I just started a fitness/diet programme in which they feature prominently.

MrsElijahMikaelson1 · 15/09/2024 23:55

The Originals-a vampire series 😳guilty guilty pleasure. Change between Elijah and Klaus as the mood takes me.

I love the colour of terracotta and I'd love to live on a farm, or in the countryside one day.

It would also be a lovely name for your future farm Smile
