I was Noellefielding and then saw someone else had the same name. How's that possible?

I've reverted to my old name because this morning I saw another Noellefielding on this thread:
In the news : 'Stressed' father batters his 2 yr old daughter

I didn't think that was possible!

Hi there
Phew glad that there wasn't something funny going on.

We did "release" some nicknames (makes us sound like a wildlife sanctuary last year for Mile for Maude but not sure if we have any plans to do this again.

Yes Shadow, that seems unthinkable.

I dont think they can release unused names out into the wild. Imagine a poster who posts something really controversial, or trivial, under a once only pseudonym, and 3 months later somebody unsuspecting wants that name, registers under it and goes about their merry way thinking mn is a bizarre place with all the references to lesbian threesomes, bottom surgery, or fanny farting, etc she has had!

Thnx Cat!
I just feel so sad for Michelle Williams and that little girl.
Why feel sad! They are total strangers! But they looked so cute together pushing those pushcharis round Brooklyn in that anti Alist down to earth scruffy way.

I love Eddie Izzard too but not quite with the carnal longing I have for La Fielding.

rantinghousewife · 23/01/2008 12:05

Yes, she had tech all in a flap!

CatIsSleepy · 23/01/2008 12:04

she morphed into someone else by some strange slippage of the time-space-mumsnet continuum didn't she? or somehting?

I think it does.
I had a craving for a banana milk shake the size of Empire State building with yog and all. Clearly all the blood in my whole body is desperately rushing to my bloated tum to try and grapple with my piggery. !Q has dropped below hope.
But my hormones are still awake.
I do feel sad about Heath Ledger! We just watched BB mountain again and he made me cry!
