Goodenough seems to damn with faint praise. What about Completelyfuckingawesome?

Ok - descriptive African names with a welsh bias?

Rosie, I agree, if he can’t make the effort to get there then so be it. I can’t see how he needs money to take a 10 month out, they are happy with free things!

thislido · 10/05/2019 23:15

Lush?

Rosie the dad is an arse, realise this. He deserves nothing from you. Stop wasting your precious resources on him and save them for your real family- you and your child.

Cut the leach loose.

Also good for thigh to drop into conversation in the pub.

naked, tone duly lowered!

noway Caroline is in tribute to the long suffering wife of Mr Pooter in "Diary of a Nobody". My parents would never have given me such a fancy name!

thislido · 10/05/2019 23:19

There’s even one in there about pissing on yourself.

ProjectGainsborough · 10/05/2019 23:20

‘He keeps a hedgehog in his pocket’ is the perfect insult for Rosie’s ex.

We’re probably a bit too silly on this thread Rosie but if you head to the Relationships board, they’ve got loads of experience in dealing with exes who need to pull their finger out. And yours definitely does!

Archibald Leech. Wasn't that Cary Grant?

Yes Rosie, I'm sorry for being flippant - he sounds awful. Post in Relationships, there are lots of very knowledgeable people there.

DD1 had a Welsh boyfriend once. His mum was so anti-English she would put postage stamps on letters upside down, to somehow annoy the Queen.

Nowaypast · 10/05/2019 23:27

I've eaten too many mini rolls, I feel sick.

I've read that Pooter but can't remember anything about it. I escaped a Welsh name by the skin of my teeth. And then went and saddled dd with one.

ProjectGainsborough · 10/05/2019 23:33

I have very little Welsh. Er, Angharad.

Mochyn o diafol. Is what my aforementioned Aunty Margaret used to call my step dad

nakedscientist · 10/05/2019 23:51

Pig of the devil?

nakedscientist · 10/05/2019 23:53

Thigh wherein the diafol are you!

25bucksandacracker · 11/05/2019 08:37

Good morning nakedscientist I don't think I'm a zombie but I may have died in my sleep - these things happen

Is it a queue or a cue I'm fondling? I'm a fan of fondling in general but the first option seems like more work and I'm still lying down

25bucksandacracker · 11/05/2019 08:38

Also: anyone called Andrew who shortens it to Drew. Anyone called Alexander who shortens to Xander. Those are my nominations.

25bucksandacracker · 11/05/2019 08:40

I like THERE IS PIGS FEET ON ME
I'm going to start saying it often. To bus drivers and passers by
