We have heard the not-so-distant grumblings about there not being a Hallowe'en namechange competition this year.

So now there is!

All you need to do to enter is check in your Hallowe'en name by posting on this thread. Please tell us your usual nickname too, so we can chortle at how spookily witty your namechange is.

We will then draw up a shortlist of the best names (no quibbling with the judges, please) - and bung 'em in a poll, so you can all vote for the one you want to win.

There will be a fabulous prize for the winner (and maybe a smidgeon of something for a runner-up or two). Details to be announced once we've got our act together soon.

Thank you - and good luck!

I can't namechage because I HAVE TO KEEP LOGGING IN and keep forgetting new names.

But it would be BooBooleSpew.

What have I won?

NormaBatesFeltcher · 22/10/2009 17:23

Can anyone else here that noise? Yes, it's the sound of my barrel being scraped (and no that's not a dirrty euphemism).

TheDevilEatsBabies · 22/10/2009 16:56

can i explain it or do i lose points for it not being obvious?
(it's because the word nickel derives from the german kupfernickel meaning devil's copper)

thanks!
