If you know what I mean then you'll get what I'm saying! There just doesn't seem to be any normal threads anymore! What's going on?

If your joining though you dont think your going to get stick for having numbers. Its not till you post and people start sayin look its a NM. Why would you. Usernames for other things have numbers. My bank has, so has my littlewoods account. I dont really want to change my name but if it carries on like this i will have to.

That thread is confusing, there are so many spelling mistakes and almost perfect punctuation... Hmm Wind up then?

Yes agreed - Fifi, if you are serious then you need to come up with something new as a nickname, or just get used to the fact that people will suspect you are ex-NM. It's so similar to their format I'm afraid. To be honest the names you have earlier mentioned would have gone.. you've got to think outside the box

TheFantasticFixit · 06/06/2011 17:13

ABF453628: I think I love you - that namechange is inspired.

BitOfFun · 06/06/2011 17:13

There's a corker here too.

AmazingBouncingFerret453628 · 06/06/2011 17:14

Plus would you really want to have the same name as someone else? I would hate it if someone became AmazingBouncingFerret453629...

StrawberryMewMew · 06/06/2011 17:15

BOF - Oh dear lord...

AmazingBouncingFerret453628 · 06/06/2011 17:15

Thanks Fixit! Grin I'm trying to gain their trust...

StrawberryMewMew · 06/06/2011 17:15

Are we just all a bunch of grammar nazis on here?

Maybe we are mean.Hmm

BitOfFun · 06/06/2011 17:17

I think "volnerable to poedofiles" is my favourite bit.

Sorry, but AmazingBouncingFerret453628 was already taken........

AmazingBouncingFerret453628 · 06/06/2011 17:20

Argh You bitch! Grin

LadyBeagleEyes · 06/06/2011 17:20

Couldn't be arsed getting into that thread BitofFun as the first few posts all agreed with the OP.
There's a rather surreal one on AIBU that's just started about a horse/divorce and a dp who likes boys (possibly).
I'm keeping my eye on it.

usualsuspect · 06/06/2011 17:21

I'm not usually bothered about a bit of bad spelling and grammar ,but even I cringed at that one

AmazingBouncingFerret453629 · 06/06/2011 17:21

You asked for it 453628! Grin

fifi25 · 06/06/2011 17:23

TheFantasticFixIt - it didnt really cross my mind to think of a whitty name. I googled something, it came up with a thread and i put a username in to access the site. I wasnt really thinking right lets think of a witty username in case people on MN think im from NM. I dont know how to change so havent and dont see why i should.

AmazingBouncingFerret453628 · 06/06/2011 17:23

Indeed, I did!
