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

KFC, last time we had it, it tasted different, not as spicy.

Was disappointed

They never lived together apparently MrsV. Very sad. Almost as sad as Ellie Goulding and Dougie Poynter. Sad

I would rather watch back episodes of Takeshi's Castle than sport really. It's nearly sport.Grin

OddSocksHighHeels · 29/12/2015 21:44

I must be on MN Classic. I have pages.

DramaAlpaca · 29/12/2015 21:44

It's a big yes from me to the OP.

KFC do very good gravy. DS works there & I have a freezer full of leftovers Grin

OddSocksHighHeels · 29/12/2015 21:43

Never! I didn't know it existed!

Chip shop gravy but hard to find the decent stuff in London. A lot of chip shops don't do gravy at all Shock but I have a good one nearby.

Sparkers I'm watching the Beckham show, not really sure what the point is😉 other than keep Becks' profile in the media.

Seems a pleasant chap but he's no Narrator, bless him.

Aolpogies, Maryz. I mentioned the pics on another thread.

SconeInSixtySeconds · 29/12/2015 21:42

How many of us are still on MN Classic? I hear tell that some people have pages Shock.

I very sensibly followed usuals advice years ago to have the whole thread on the page in case I lost half a bunfight and it has made my MN experience a thing of beauty ever since.

KFC have always done gravy and it's delicious.

Even after seeing a TV show about how it's made (which should have rightfully made me puke)

I still love it.

You mean you haven't dooked your chips in kfc gravy?

MrsVamos · 29/12/2015 21:41

It is lush, Odd. Specially for dipping chips.

Chip shop curry gravy is very nice too.

Regulars will be equated with Royalty.

I was shocked when I saw that about Jenson. Seems very odd. He's had a rough time the last couple of years, poor bloke.

Should never have been WC but he's a steady racer.

I wondered if he'd lose his seat and go for Plympic triathlons?

SconeInSixtySeconds · 29/12/2015 21:40

I love chip shop gravy. Proper food.

OddSocksHighHeels · 29/12/2015 21:39

Why have I got a square where the bookmark button normally is?

OddSocksHighHeels · 29/12/2015 21:38

KFC do gravy? Since when? I need some.

SconeInSixtySeconds · 29/12/2015 21:37

My old name should clear up any wrong pronunciation of the word Scone - it doesn't work otherwise Wink

I love watching tennis. And if I had any co-ordination, ability, persistence or athleticism I would have been a true proficient

Sparklingbrook · 29/12/2015 21:35

I hope Jensen can get back towards the podium. He's split up with his wife. Sad

I also like to see if Geri Halliwell is lurking in the pits. Grin

Hullo lovely.

I'm still alive. That's about as good as it gets right now...Smile

I'm coming to yours and we can have chicken & chips to dip in a vat of kfc gravy, washed down with vats of cremola.

Yummmmmmmmmmmmmeeeeeeeeeeee !

WotNoLoobrush · 29/12/2015 21:33

Another occasional poster but long time lurker here. I like the idea of a topic just for regulars.

At the very least, I hope MN will consider a change to NC rules. I've only found out tonight that Gransnet users can't NC.

MrsVamos · 29/12/2015 21:32

Yy, Sparks !

Makes it nicer to watch when you know Lewis has won - or anyone but Nico !

HeartsTrumpDiamonds · 29/12/2015 21:31

MRS VAMOS!!!!

How the heck are you Smile

I had pea shoots on my dinner last night. Tennis balls are indeed chartreuse. But yellowish green will do in a pinch.

MrsVamos · 29/12/2015 21:30

Sparks

Of course I meant F1.

Bloody phones with teeny keys. Angry
