Mine was inspired by the poster who thought the ABBA song Fernando had the line "They were shining there for you and me
For liberty, Fernando" and though it was Lee Bertie who was someone special in their life 😄

It's what Jamie Fraser [big lump of Scottish lovely manhood in Outlander) says and it means don't worry yourself

Getting divorced and heading up north with my lovely kids for a fresh start. We are all really excited.

It's a partial quote from Blackadder: 'The Germans are a cruel race. Their operas last for six hours and they have no word for fluffy.'

I love this!

When I joined over 13 years ago, my DD was a baby & I was breast feeding her & I use to eat a whole family size bar of Galaxy chocolate at night, I would have massive cravings for it.

Stranger Things reference but I feel it might be time for a change.

I name change every few weeks. Mine are quite random; sometimes a book character; sometimes just something I can see.

TheMainCharacter · 18/02/2024 14:38

Mine comes from someone saying to me “in your life, you are the main character”

I always think people see my name and think I must be really arrogant but I’m completely the opposite

27Mankinis · 18/02/2024 15:00

I think it's really useful to be aware that you are the main character in your own life and the same goes for others. I'm quite socially awkward IRL so it reminds me that most people are not judging me but are thinking about their own selves.

But my second DS(aged 11). had a really funny insight in his friendship group. One of the boys (say his name is Milo) is very charismatic. Popular. Sporty. Intelligent and really genuinely kind and sweet. A delight of a child. DS2 once commented 'Milo is the star of the group and the rest of us are the paparazzi'. It was incredibly funny because there was an element of truth.

My user name comes from watching 27 dresses and thinking of the mankini in Borat.

I saw a clip of an American woman, in the 1960s, who had been given MDMA, or Acid (I can't remember), as part of an experiment.

In the clip she's describing the experience, and I loved the way she said 'good heavens'.
