Try to guess the reference to mine and we'll all try to guess yours.

(Ridiculous suggestions welcome)

@MeatPieWoman

If something works out mine , please tell me what happened to the thread this morning
I want to know as well, guess it was a troll as it was so odd.

You have a dodgy arrangement with a wink and a nod to the office canteen lady that allows you to buy an entire pie before others can get a slice, even when you're not first in the queue! Grin

PivotPivotPivottt · 09/09/2021 23:31

Mine is easy.

JenaWren · 09/09/2021 23:32

@Twizbe - pens?

ColonelNobbyNobbs · 10/09/2021 00:15

droopy I can eat a lot of hob nobs but that’s not the origin of the name Grin

Weatherwax Michelle and Clueing have it. (And yes I should be Corporal but I put it in wrong and couldn’t be bothered to change…)

Is yours what you could see when you joined mumsnet?

Pivot pivot - friends reference and making me only say it in Ross's voice

@ColonelNobbyNobbs I actually thought was a v witty play on a Nobbs type scheme! Grin

ColonelNobbyNobbs · 10/09/2021 08:35

Darn I should have pretended that Michelle!

SquirryTheSquirrel · 10/09/2021 08:40

Mine is a fairly obvious one. I haven't got any of the others on this thread that haven't already been solved but I'll keep looking.

CormoranStrike · 10/09/2021 09:24

@SquirryTheSquirrel not obvious to me! Is it a variation on Boaty?

SquirryTheSquirrel · 10/09/2021 09:26

@CormoranStrike No, though 'SquirryMcSquirrelface' would be a fab username. It's an 80s TV reference ...

TheDistortion · 10/09/2021 09:29

Squirry the Squirrel goes squeak squeak squeak…

TheDistortion · 10/09/2021 09:31

Oh, I just checked and I see he actually goes neep neep neep!

Stinkywizzleteets · 10/09/2021 09:36

I’d say mine was easy but I’ve had a few pms asking about my name over time so maybe not

Tlollj · 10/09/2021 09:37

I’m none the wiser even when they’ve been explained. I’m always impressed with user names and passwords I can never think of anything.

That's the one!

"... Now. How much do you charge for a good, hard, shag?"

SkunkButRug · 10/09/2021 09:52

Usually get the Terry Pratchett ones but otherwise mostly clueless.
Mine is not STP related though.

Ren and Stimpy?
NationMcKinley · 10/09/2021 10:01

Ah I love Nobby, @ColonelNobbyNobbs. My favourite bit was when he was trying to be posh to Lady Sybil “can I press you to a rat on a stick, Lady Sybil?” Grin

Xigris · 10/09/2021 10:03

Was meant to be amazing.

Wasn’t. amazingly expensive though

gluenotsoup · 10/09/2021 10:12

No one will get mine, but could be very funny 😂

Chikapu · 10/09/2021 10:16

@DivingBoardInGuernsey do you deliver bread for a living?
