My favourite female Discworld character (and I'm a nanny too, obvs)

Sam Vimes was mine.

I actually got very upset when Terry Pratchet died, not just because HE had gone, but because I felt I was grieving the characters too. It's was very odd to feel so emotionally invested with fictional characters.

My favourite food as a child. Not now though the thought of it makes me feel sick

Ihateboris · 18/09/2024 20:42

Pretty self explanatory 😃

Createausername1970 · 18/09/2024 20:38

Oh, well, now, this might come as a surprise to some of you, but it was a complete lack of inspiration that inspired mine. Don't know what 1970 represents, it's not my birth year. That was random.

LadyGrinningSoul8517 · 18/09/2024 20:35

My favourite David Bowie song.
It's my username on a few different sites.
If it ain't broke...

Literary characters - Scarlett O'Hara (Gone with the Wind) and the unnamed narrator from Rebecca (the second Mrs de Winter)

oldmanandtheangel · 18/09/2024 20:26

favourite It Bites song

Love FT, as do my teens.

”Look, it’s the Holy Stone of Clonrichert” is probably the most said phrase in our household. It’s usually used to point out something mediocre.

HamHands · 18/09/2024 20:22

My DH said he had 'ham hands' after eating some ham in the fridge while I was trying to think up a MN name.

Thevelvelletes · 18/09/2024 20:22

My favourite Motown girl group who sang ..these things will keep me loving you.
One of my favourite records.

What the husband's mother said to us when we told I was pregnant with number 3! Despite herself having had 8 😁

CoatRack · 18/09/2024 20:15

The name of my first pet

Swishyhairandtan · 18/09/2024 20:14

Wrote the name as I saw an ad on tv for a morning show and its presenter was on..any guesses who it is? (Very easy 🙄)

DanielRicciardosSmile · 18/09/2024 20:12

An F1 driver with a very big smile

LiesDoNotBecomeUs · 18/09/2024 14:02

A favourite line from The Princess Bride.

There are so many good lines in that book/film.

GrimDamnFanjo · 18/09/2024 04:24

A mash up of a video adventure game and a foof.

echt · 18/09/2024 03:37

Because it means genuine, real or authentic in German.

All a bit pompous really, but there you go.

JohnTheRevelator · 18/09/2024 03:11

One of my favourite songs by my favourite band, Depeche Mode.
