I suspect we all spend a fair bit of time wondering about one another's handles. Does ilovesooty live in a house full of Sooty puppets? How deep is her love? Etc

My current username is a song lyric.

Harry Potter and the endless sleep deprivation of non sleeping children...

Itellpeopletogoogleit · 10/06/2019 12:22

The fact that people often get mumsnet confused with Google and post asking for answers to the most mundane questions they they easily could've googled.

Tyrion's never finished joke in GOT.

TheFatberg · 10/06/2019 12:28

I live in the sewers and I'm made of fat and nappies.

TixieLix · 10/06/2019 12:29

I change mine every now and then and was looking for something not already taken. I saw an advert for Tixylix medicine and decided to spell it slightly differently. I've just googled my spelling and see that it's actually the name of a 'gamer gal' from Australia who draws deviant art Shock.

Neil Diamond of course!

Come she come say
Ride on the night
Sun becomes day
Day shall provide
Soo, soolaimon
Soolai, soolai, soolaimon
Soo, soolaimon
Soolai, soolai, soolaimon
Soo, soolaimon
Soolai, soolai, soolaimon
God of my want, want, want
Lord of my need, need, need
Leading me on, on, on
On to the woman, she dance for the sun
God of my day, day, day
Lord of my night, night, night
Seek for the way, way, way
Taking me home
She callin'
Bring home my name
On the wings of a flea
Wind in the plains
Dance once for me
Soo, soolaimon
Soolai, soolai, soolaimon
Soo, soolaimon
Soolai, soolai, soolaimon
Soo, soolaimon
Soolai, soolai, soolaimon

From a stupid joke in Sex and the City that makes me laugh. In season 6 when Smith is still a waiter he offers them an amuse bouche. Samantha leans over to Carrie and says, "I'd like him to amuse my bush!" Grin

Douglas Adams ...

Hubcapdiamondstarhalo · 10/06/2019 12:44

Early 70s favourite group TRex. I had a huge teenage crush on Marc Bolan. It's a lyric from Get It On.

Well, you're built like a car
You've got a hubcap diamond star halo.

I'm built like a car, so...

Apolloanddaphne · 10/06/2019 12:47

At the risk of sounding a bit pretentious mine is my favourite sculpture by the Italian sculptor, Bernini.

TwinklyMummaLuvsHerBubba89 · 10/06/2019 12:50

I have not been on MN much for the last 3 years. Before that I was fairly active and had a reasonably well known username.

I didn't like the change in the site after Jeffrey-gate and there was a thread about the user123456789 type names and how shit they were. Also about the hun-ification of Mumsnet as it exploded in popularity after Penis Beaker. So I temporarily have myself a hun-style name.

Shortly after I got fed up with the place and left.

Fast forward a few years and I decide to have another mooch around the place, can't remember any of my log in details so do the log-in with facebook and I'm Twinkly but haven't a clue what my password is so can't change it to something less vom-tastic.

GettickledGETTICKLEDbyspiders · 10/06/2019 12:54

I love the song from Trolls.

sanityisamyth · 10/06/2019 12:54

Sanity is a myth

No-one is truly sane!!!

BlueMerchant · 10/06/2019 12:54

Stephen Merchant was on TV and I'd just sat down after I'd painted my bedroom a beautiful blue and was absolutely covered in it. I was nearly 'StephenPaint' or I did consider 'BlueStephen'.

xSharonNeedlesx · 10/06/2019 12:55

One of my favourite contestants from RuPauls Drag Race.

RomanyQueen · 10/06/2019 12:56

Mine is quite obvious. Found out one of my ancestors was a Romany Queen. Came as quite a shock the whole DNA reveal tbh.

SheChoseDown · 10/06/2019 13:04

I was watching the Labyrinth when I was signing up. It was at the part where the hands are holding her and asking her if she wants to go up or down. She chose down....

Rory4Leader · 10/06/2019 13:06

S0CKS · 10/06/2019 13:07

I like wearing random funky socks

monsieurmarius · 10/06/2019 13:11

Eddie redmayne's character in a hugely successful musical that I saw on stage a few months ago..!

theydontknowweknow · 10/06/2019 13:13

Mine's from Friends, they don't know that we know that they know! In the one where Phoebe and Rachel find out about Chandler and Monica

bibbitybobbityyhat · 10/06/2019 13:18

Lyric from David Bowie song Queen Bitch (on Hunky Dory).

I would love to ask this question of a user had quite an epic thread on here over the weekend. I couldn't bring myself to keep reading the thread because of her revolting username stickywhitelovepiss or something like that. Yep, I clutched those pearls.

Frownette · 10/06/2019 13:20

I just NC'd to something similar to previous. I was MILES more feisty on here in years previous!
