Poster says a name, next post describes what they picture when they hear this name.

Looks, personality, age etc. Please don't be offended. I love it when my name comes up hilarious. 🤣

Matthew ‘Matt’ works in Graphic design.
He is 49 and is clinging onto his youth. He has the same group of friends he had at school, a wife 15 years younger than him and a baby son.
He goes out with ‘the lads’ regularly and drinks too much. He’s recently started to drink whiskey and wants to start up his own micro brewery.
His vinyl record collection is extensive and he wears band t-shirts with pride.

Matthew has pale sandy hair, pale blue eyes and works as a planning officer in Hemel Hempstead.

He is instantly forgettable.

Josie is 50. She is twice divorced and now lives with her cats in her cottage. She has a lovely garden and swaps plants with th women down at the WI.

Josie is very good at baking and will often take a cake round-up her elderly neighbour.
Her daughter is about to have her third child and Josie secretly hopes that she doesn't get roped into looking after it too often, like she has with the other two. Josie also disliked her daughter's oartber, but she keeps that to herself.

Neil is 68 and a retired GP. He's a widower. For 40 years he was in a loveless marriage with Hannah. They stayed together for the sake of their two children, Robert and Nicola, and then latterly because Hannah was ill and Neil felt duty-bound to stay with her. After her death, Neil found a new lease of life and started dressing more flamboyantly - he now favours tweeds and velvet smoking jacket, and he's grown his still-thick but faded hair into a long, floppy style. He's now blissfully happy living in a Victorian mansion flat full of cats, antiques and artwork, with his new husband Thomas, a 59 year old orthodontist. They spend their free time antique hunting, trying out expensive restaurants, going to jazz and classical concerts and watching trendy plays.

See Roger for ‘Jeremy’ and ‘Neil’ 😀

Too slow!
I’ll do Roger.
Roger is 53, divorced and drives a sporty midlife crisis performance car. He dates women only in their 20s.

SunShinesBrightly · 19/11/2021 07:07

Issac is 22 and plays in a band with his course buddies (music tech - Sheffield Uni).
He has thick wavy hair which flops over his eyes and is slightly pale & very thin.

Josie

WinterCarlisle · 19/11/2021 07:04

Isaac is a physics PhD student at Cambridge. He’s tall, dark and classically handsome with a great sense of humour. Despite all this, Isaac is surprisingly unassuming and slightly baffled at his fabulous attributes. He has a long term boyfriend, Leon who’s also at Cambridge and an integral member of Footlights. The future looks golden for this lovely couple.

Martine is a 44 year old administrator in an insurance firm. She's naturally very slim, with brown hair cut in a long bob. Her best feature is her long, well-shaped legs which she likes to show off in dark tights. She's in a long-term relationship with Steven, also 44, but they don't live together. She gets on well with Steven's 14 year old daughter, Emily. Martine is a very cool person who rarely gets over-excited or emotional. In her spare time, she enjoys reading and cooking, and she plays Wing Defence in a local netball team.

Elizabeth is extremely good at macrame and foists wall hangings on friends and family at every opportunity. She has a cat called Hetherington who has a very delicate constitution. Elizabeth has a violent attraction to the man who runs her local haberdashery shop ( which is how her passion for macrame came about), but sadly he doesn't seem to know she exists.

Neil

BlueFlavour · 19/11/2021 06:58

Elizabeth changed her name from Donna about 10 years ago and gets cheesed off when people forget and still call her Donna. She’s petit and nervy, divorced in her late forties, she struggles with a feeling of ennui and feels guilty towards her grown up children who take advantage of her.
She secretly smokes silk cult ultra in her shed, and has a penchant for garden gnomes.

Laurence is a teenage boy just finishing his growth spurt. His legs are so skinny they barely look as if they'll support his weight and his mum despairs of ever getting him out of tracksuit bottoms. He's the only one in the dungeons and dragons club at school, set up by him two years ago. One day he'd like to be an architect. He has gingery very straight hair that he has been growing or since he was 9. It's now waist length.
In a couple of years he'll surprise everyone by growing into his looks and unexpectedly becoming a Ralph Lauren model while studying at uni. No-one is more surprised than him.

Rose is 17 and Hard Work. Her mother, Emma, was desperate for a daughter after 2 sons but now rather regrets that. Rose doesn’t need to go to school and she knows everything already.

Rose plans on becoming a tattoo artist.

Laurence is an accountant or a solicitor. He is a responsible person, who does things in life the right way. It took him some time to settle down but he now has a wife he loves dearly.

Rose.

Harriet keeps chickens in the garden of her Victorian terrace in Chiswick which infuriates her neighbours. She wants a goat as well but is mindful that the people at number 23 would have rather a lot to say about it.
She keeps meaning to go dairy free but can't shake her addiction to mature cheddar.

Alan is 59 and lives with his wife Sue. His 2 children have left home. Alan works mainly from home now in an office based job but he is very good at DIY and will often help out his elderly neighbour with any jobs which need doing.
Alan always puts out his neighbour's bin out too.
He is quite slim and his hair is thinning.
He can usually be seen in a sweater and casual trousers.
At Christmas he loves to wear his outlandish Christmas sweater whilst carving the turkey. Both his kids will be at his house for Christmas and Alan loves Christmas. He always makes sure the fairy lights are working before Sue decorates the tree.
