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 😄

My first name is actually Carrie, although very few people actually know that. I go by my middle name and have done since I was 12.

My username comes from an old song, it goes "Would you like to swing on a star, carry moonbeams home in a jar". I don't actually have a visual memory of my grandpa because I was so young when he died, but he used to sing it to me and, weirdly, I can still 'hear' it in his voice.

I’m a long term poster but a regular name changer and that’s what I was drinking when I did my last name change :)

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.'

Prolific name changer being an impulsive but also a suspicious and safety conscious person.

I read books as well when the mood takes me.

Dying to change my username to Barold, based on an old thread.

I love this.

There isn't one.
I probably think I'm funnier than I actually am.

Au contraire Incomplete, I grinned when your name caught my eye 😁 I still do a little - how do I say - eyebrow tweak? of recognition when I spot you on here.

I used to like EatShitDerek and their posts. I imagined a whole backstory for that name.

Mine is two surnames that mean a lot to me.

Mine's a bit of lyric from one of my favourite songs and which references the 60s model, Twiggy whom I was once as skinny as.

I recognised the song lyric but had no idea it referenced the model Twiggy.

I have multiple names. I just look at the name of whatever object is closest to me and change it around a bit if already taken. Nothing deeper than that.

Remember this as the theme tune from tv series Out of this World.

I was lurking for a while after the death of handbag. Saw a thread I wanted to join in and just thought of something quickly.

NeverDropYourMooncup · 14/02/2024 20:50

Bitter experience.

ILoveSpoon · 14/02/2024 20:54

I was going to start a thread to ask if it's ok to lick the spoon after making cake. DH is an arse and won't let 3yo do it because it's raw egg.

I was going to show him the tirade of replies calling him an idiot, but I figured it had been asked squillions if times before so used Google to search and didn't bother.
