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.

Absolutely no idea. I couldn’t even tell you what category the three favourite things are, but it sounds uplifting.

Irish posters will know what it means.
Others think it's something to do with beans.

The opening line of a Phoebe Buffay song.

I name changed to start a thread about my STBXH...

Huggybear16 · 10/06/2019 17:24

"Huggy bear" is what me and my son (and me and his dad) say to each other when we are hugging.

That username wasn't available, so I added a random number to the end.

I went on holiday to the west coast of Florida last year and found that the beaches were off limits due to Red Tide. The stench was terrible while it lasted.

Deadheadstickeronacadillac · 10/06/2019 17:25

The line from a song that always reminds me of my dad.

LordProfFekkoThePenguinPhD · 10/06/2019 17:29

What’s the song - it looks familiar!

The underestimated detective!

FijateBien · 10/06/2019 17:35

I love Juanes, Fijate Bien is one of his songs. I wanted Bob Loblaw from Arrested Development but it was taken.

TitilatedOcelot · 10/06/2019 17:45

A joke I read on here - how do you titillate an ocelot? Oscillate its tits a lot.

Except I spelt titillate wrong.

Margotshypotheticaldog · 10/06/2019 17:49

These are fab. Bean have you come across Jane Jeffer? One of my all time favs.
Mine was from a fight. About a non existent dog. Almost ended in divorce.... Still not sure. But I like to be reminded so I don't become complacent.

It’s my favourite dish - perfect for a midweek supper !

It's from the Cbeebies programme Abadas.
I've had it a long time. I don't think the programme is on anymore.

Contraceptionismyfriend · 10/06/2019 18:11

I believe it was said to me by a friend when I announced I was pregnant with DC3

EastMidsGPs · 10/06/2019 18:15

I live in the East Midlands and keep Guinea Pigs (I also lack imagination 😀)

MyMyHeyHey · 10/06/2019 18:16

Neil Young song. Pretty much all of my usernames have been a song title or lyric.

marvellousnightforamooncup · 10/06/2019 18:17

Van Morrison and my period.
