I'm curious, following the live chat with Dr Tanya Byron.. what happens if their name already a used nickname?

For example Nadine Baggott is a used nickname, if she was to be a guest speaker what would you do? (I'm sorry to keep using you)

I'm sure there was a Joanne Lumley as well (although I don't quite know what she would be giving a live chat about)

What happens? Tech? Justine?

It has happened before, Carrie.

I was IndiaKnight once. Don't ask why; I can't remember. But when the real India was going to do a live chat, Tech emailed me to slap my wrists let me know that MN Towers wanted India to be able to post under her own name (rather than IndiaKnight2!) so they were going to confiscate the name. They took it away for ever and ever, so that I couldn't run amok use it again.

I'd only used it for a few silly posts so it was no big deal ... but they obviously didn't trust me with it so wouldn't let me keep it!

Stop touting yourself you hussy

Or quicker.

hunkermunker · 13/09/2007 23:59

Do the people who do the live chats type their own posts?

Can you not get them to dictate to someone who can type...er...faster?

I'll do it, if you like. Maybe. I type at light speed.

I always thought you should start charging for your common sense anyway Nadine!

NadineBaggott · 13/09/2007 23:41

I'm happy to do a live chat and give all these lovely ladies the benefit of my expertise

for a fee

Tom Cruise knows EVERYTHING. He is my appointed representative on your puny planet. You should obey EVERY diktat sent down by him. And John Travolta.

You mean you haven't approached a well known brand of low calorie Dutch cheese for a live webchat? Damn. I was looking forward to that one.

BradPitt · 10/09/2007 23:01

Any chance that I'd be asked to give an online chat?
