Mine is a place I visited that I came across unexpectedly. Its one of my favourite places and I've been back several times.

RhubarbFairy · 01/08/2022 22:10

I regularly leave rhubarb on the doorsteps of friends and neighbours as it grows faster than we can eat it. Several people have called me that in texts to thank me.

Previous names include TeetotalKoala, which was always my pub quiz name since I learned the word koala means 'no-drink' during a pub quiz 20 years ago.

I have others on other sites that usually reference something to do with me.

Nowisthesummerofourdiscontent · 01/08/2022 22:41

I predicted that there would be civil unrest due to the cost of living crisis, increasing inequality and the heatwave but I was wrong, apart from some strikes. Maybe there’ll be more in the autumn when things start to bite. It’s a twist on Shakespeare’s winter of discontent.

AllAboutMargot · 01/08/2022 23:01

My favourite old movie is "All About Eve". The main character is played by Bette Davis and her name is Margot.

I often wonder how name change fails happen. It completely confuses me when the OP then continues the thread in their other username.

I love hedgehogs, and I think the username also describes me quite well.
