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.

Firefly. My name is not Jayne

FinnBalorsAbs · 10/06/2019 19:33

A WWE wrestler who has the most insane abs I’ve ever seen. I don’t fancy him or anything but whenever I see his abs I am agog, they deserve a postcode of their own. The small photo doesn’t do them justice.

I like Dave Gorman Grin

My first username was the title of a single my then boyfriend’s band released in the 70s. My current one, nothing in particular although I can paint with either hand.

One of the dragons on Game of Thrones.

It's what my grandfather called me when I was very little. He died before I turned 2 but I was the apple of his eye & even have one strong memory of him.

A fun hospital procedure.

The obvious. Only three times...

My favourite hobby.

It makes me so happy.

I'm on cloud nine when I ski and take in the amazing views.

Happy days.

My love for the Darkness.

MyBlueMoonbeam · 11/06/2019 01:21

Mine is in honour of my dog when he was a puppy. Those bloody razor sharp teeth hurt.

@BiteyShark - nice one - one of our many dogs over the years was called Sam he was a Jack Russell & was nicknamed Sammy Shark for that very reason 😁

@AuntieStella I always wondered... os she Astronomer Royal or a lager fan? Grin

I love all of these explanations, thank you! Some of them are genuinely moving.

What an interesting bunch you are.

One of my favourite books (Good omens, by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman), and the recent very good series, on amazon prime video, based on it.

pineapplebryanbrown · 11/06/2019 01:35

Mine is from a 1980s diet book Hip hip hooray and thighs of relief (Rosemary Conley).

That disappointed you didn't it Dangly? You'll have to section yourself again.

Nikhedonia · 11/06/2019 01:38

An unlikely feeling for me.

Nogravyforyou · 11/06/2019 01:49

It was a name change for a thread about being naughty. And I realised that I liked the name better than my old one.

Just did an advanced search and found the post:

"
Today was out for dinner with the inlaws. SIL was there and has a recent as last week been sending me abusive text messages. I ordered my dinner with my gravy on the side and SIL decided that she wanted more gravy. Entire table looks at me as I move my gravy out of her reach and continue eating my dinner. Fuck off bitch, no gravy for you.
It made me so happy  "

Still wouldn't share my gravy with her tbh 🤷🏻‍♀️

A reference to Peg + Cat, a children's tv programme that I like more than my DC do.

Veronicat · 11/06/2019 02:12

A play on DH nickname for me

barryfromclareisfit · 11/06/2019 02:16

Tall bloke, blue eyes.
Turned out to be a bit of a cunt, really. It should be ‘barryfronclareisalyingsod’, to be more accurate.

pineapplebryanbrown · 11/06/2019 05:14

Barry perhaps time for a change? BarryIsACuntThoughHandsome I like that!
