I hereby give you notice of my namechange. Henceforth I shall be know as Platesmasher.

Right, the smutty name has to go.

I will no longer be dragonbutter or nevergoogledragonbutter.

That name was only ever meant to be lovely with reference to dragonflies and butterflies but turned into something else.

Platesmasher was my name before I was DB and I like it.

RL is having a fresh start for me right now, so I think I will on MN too.

So take note, and don't accuse me of namechanging and not telling anyone.

oh and if I'm really starting afresh I should take this opportunity to apologise to Cucci for telling her fuck off when I believed she was a journo. Sorry about that.

i'm not anti journo's, just anti being interviewed without my knowing and my experience being used without my permission. anyhoo, it was a misunderstanding, lead mainly by a thread which was very accusative.

Ooh, Pelvicfloor - are we related?

Oh Lord put the 'to' in the wrong place, am knackered after a VERY long day out with ds. And hereby swear that I do pay more attention at work. Honest.

Glad the new/old name is giving you a boost but don't forget, many regular MNers do happen to be journalists IRL. That's been the case right from the start.

There is nothing illegal about it! Just like everyone else, we hacks come on here for to laugh or moan or argue or to offer or find support. Journalism (of all sorts) is just a day job.

Beauregard · 27/07/2009 21:58

Aw always liked your name

Hormonesnomore · 27/07/2009 21:56

Niecie - the reality is worse - I was an innocent & couldn't resist & I had no idea such practices existed prior to joining Mumsnet. My mind has been well & truly opened (and not in a good way).

yes, making people google was quite good fun, but i'm thinking maybe people didn't take me quite as seriously as I would have liked.

i'm feeling cleaner already.

I'm really glad you've changed. Think of it as saving all those poor innocents who couldn't resist googling when seeing your old moniker.

Niecie · 24/07/2009 15:52

I was on that original thread and managed to resist the temptation to google but now I have fresh temptation all over again.

My imagination is already working overtime - tell me the reality can't be worse than what I am imagining. That would be really baaaad.

Like the new name though.

HuffwardlyRouge · 24/07/2009 15:44

I have never googled. Now you have removed temptation, and I never will.

LadyThompson · 24/07/2009 15:38

I have never googled it, though I kept meaning to.

And now I have

Shame to let it go when you were thinking of dragonflies and butterflies. What about, er, Butterdragon?

Marthasmama · 24/07/2009 15:32

Awwww I shall miss the Dragonbutter name but a change is as good as a rest as they say.

Nappyzoneisabeetrootrunner · 24/07/2009 15:29

Y'know what, I NEVER did google Dragonbutter...until now - eurgh!

I do rather like your new name and it should be easily adaptable for seasonal name changing

MrsWeasley · 23/07/2009 22:20

WildThing: I remember that thread too it was just so funny.

She who used to be Dragonbutter: love the namechange. (I googled it just in case)

And you were educational too - I truly did not know the phrase 'dragon butter' till I saw your thread.

WhereTheWildThingsWere · 23/07/2009 21:23

Your name mean't alot to me, even though you won't know who I am.

It always makes me pmsl smile and remember the original thread whence you found out the true meaning of your moniker.

differentID · 23/07/2009 21:22

no- dragonbutter names were funny- especially when unwary newbies got curious!

Platesmasher makes me think of Cypriot blokes in skirts dancing!

whomovedmychocolate · 23/07/2009 21:22

Couldn't you be dragonmarge?

butterfat?

PlumBumMum · 23/07/2009 21:21

Ah I will miss the day I was told not to and did,
and discovered my filthy mind was really as filthy as I thought!
