Can we have a topic where name changing is not allowed?

Lots of people feel the 'atmosphere' has been somewhat lost, due to MN becoming so big and so many people name changing for dubious reasons.

So how about a new topic where name changing is not allowed?

So to post in that section, you choose a different name (much like in Mumsnet local). But you have to stick to that name only.

That way, in that section at least, there would be less arses/goady fuckers/Billy bullshitters and drama llamas, hiding behind name changes.

People will become 'regulars' again (in that section at least) and when you go there to chat, you'll at least 'recognise' other people.

OK I'm sure there are 1 million reasons why this is a stupid idea/impossible to set up, but can anyone think of them? Grin

The Morden and Colliers Wood libraries are lovely.

Zombie- I worked at quite a few of the Merton libraries -first at Raynes Park, with occasional days at the main Wimbledon library, then Morden and Morden Park with a few forays to Collier's Wood and Mitcham and finally I was head librarian at West Barnes, till I went on maternity leave and never went back.

Think this is a lovely idea &c.

But I really must know more about the KFC gravy. Haven't had it for years (I pine for NZ KFC potato & gravy side dish): how does one obtain it?

MrsV we'd better just carry on painting on our cave walls then...

My eldest DS is a dead ringer for Rylan but without the teeth.

That sounds like my DS doesn't have any teeth? Confused

He does, they just don't look like gravestones.

Maryz you aren't missing much TBF. No idea why you can't see it though. Sad

I am missing the 'Beckham attraction ' gene. He leaves me a bit cold.

Yes! The donuts with "sugar" on.

That does relate to Flowers in the Attic, not me being random again Grin that book was passed around my whole class when it came out.

Beckam's voice is really different isn't it?

Has he had coaching?

Or just too much gravy?

TheSpectreOfMorningtonCrescent · 29/12/2015 22:38

I'm just trying to keep up. My brain hurts. Who mentioned hot chocolate? Dd does that- I may have introduced her to a decent slug of baileys in it. My gods.
Right off ski. I got the house cold and I've gone deaf in one ear. Unfortunately it's not the side Dh is on. Badoomtish!

Everyday tale of keeping children locked in the loft and incest IIRC, there was a series.

StillStayingClassySanDiego · 29/12/2015 22:33

Flowers in the Attic that rings a bell, what's it about?

OddSocksHighHeels · 29/12/2015 22:33

You don't need to be witty or well known. Just a member for more than 3 months or 6 months or whatever time frame MNHQ think appropriate. And don't be goady of course.

Worra's gravy recipe hasn't put me off at all, I really badly want KFC now, and it's a 30 mile round trip :(

SconeInSixtySeconds · 29/12/2015 22:33

Right - the puppy is running laps of the house in the classic "tired, who me? You're having a laugh" way, so I think I may go to bed on the grounds that it's exhausting watching him.

Thanks Worra for starting this thread Flowers and night all x
