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.

I decide to name change and then look about me for inspiration Confused

My current one was inspired by the sight of a brand new rolling pin left on the floor in the middle of the living room (your guess is as good as mine) and I was idly wondering what wood it was made of.

In honour of an OP, her thread is in Classics. She snapped and farted, apparently wasn't a typo.

PowerBadgersUnite · 10/06/2019 16:18

I believe that all badgers no matter what their super power should unite to fight the forces of evil and oppression.

It's a pun on where I lived about 25 years ago.

pumpastrotter · 10/06/2019 16:31

DS used to call Pumba (Lion King) Pumpa, and the word trotter makes me laugh. My old one was a Simpson's reference

I just made it up. I think it sounds like a cure for nausea and indigestion. Which wasn't the reason I made it up. I'm not saying I'm a cure for nausea and indigestion. I just made it up.

LordProfFekkoThePenguinPhD · 10/06/2019 16:35

I like geckos and I swear a fair amount. The rest got added as a result of daft threads. Did you know that there’s a limit to the length of your name?

WakeUpFromYourDreamAndScream · 10/06/2019 16:41

From my sons favourite Julia Donaldson book 'Wake up do, Lydia Lou'

Spinmynipplenuts · 10/06/2019 16:42

@Cooroo oh I love that book! Got it when I was 11ish. Still reread it now (almost 41!)

My name is a quote from Red Dwarf

TemporaryPermanent · 10/06/2019 16:42

I wasn't sure whether to name change. Not sure about my job. Not sure about my sex life. Not sure about my future. Quite like it that way.

MashedSpud · 10/06/2019 16:48

I love potatoes.

flapjackfairy · 10/06/2019 16:51

I was eating a flapjack and wanted a Christmas theme hence the name.
It was only afterwards that I thought about it properly and reflected that really the words flap and fairy were probably not the best combination ! Grin
