Okay, I know my name ruffles feathers. MNHQ sent me a (very nice) email back in February asking if I would consider changing it, I have only just seen the email Blush

I said to MNHQ that I might throw it open to a poll. They said probably not a good idea because people who would prefer me to change it might be reluctant to admit it for fear of being called a prude. So here's the deal; you can be honest. If you think I should revert to CupcakesandBunting say so and no-one will call you a prude here. If you'd like my present name to stay say so too. No-one will call you a potty-mouthed numpty. Also, if you couldn't give a crap, you can say so too Wink

what is a donkeybucket?

GreenEyesandHam · 16/07/2011 22:48

Dh's forehead? Grin

Tut @ me, how rude

CupcakesandTwunting · 16/07/2011 22:48

Oh thankyou MrsDonkeyBucket (that's a name and half)

All I ever wanted to do was make the people laugh.

CupcakesandTwunting · 16/07/2011 22:49

Stick it on the bog seat, Greeneyes. You get better leverage because your feet can reach the floor. Grin

TheDevilsConcubine · 16/07/2011 22:50

why did the splayed names get deleted by MN when the c word isnt?

confused at policy here Hmm

reelingintheyears · 16/07/2011 22:50

The people's princess....Grin

TheDevilsConcubine · 16/07/2011 22:50

Helen? Ann?

reelingintheyears · 16/07/2011 22:51

Because someone was offended.

I could make a stab at a guess

But i wouldn't be so unkind......

CupcakesandTwunting · 16/07/2011 22:54

See, I find splayed more icky than the c-bomb. Grin

When a word gets used regularly on C4, it loses all clout for me. They like the c-bomb on C4.

And I can't belieeeeeve no-one gas noticed my new name. . Come on give me attention!

CupcakesandTwunting · 16/07/2011 22:54

PM me Reeling, with your guess. Thanks in advance.

GreenEyesandHam · 16/07/2011 22:55

Good one Bup, I mean, Cupcakes Grin

The buzzing could be explained away as the electric toothbrush, and tremendously thorough oral hygiene.

reelingintheyears · 16/07/2011 22:55

We all noticed but were ignoring you.

mrsdonkeybucket · 16/07/2011 22:55

A donkeybucket is an 'insult' used by the three babies in the CBBC series, 'Big Babies'. It is one of many insults, but for some reason it just really tickled me the DCs. Smile

No good to anyone unless you have seen it, but I personally think that with all the innuendo it's more aimed at fed-up parents who have just come in from the school run, and need a laugh !

I tried and tried to be all clever, witty and 'literary' (is that even a word ?) when trying to 'choose' my name, but I couldn't so I just gave up and settled on this.

AitchTwoOh · 16/07/2011 22:56

pm me with your guess, reeling, do.

BitOfFun · 16/07/2011 22:57

I'm confused now. Is the posters formerly known as BupcakesandCunting now CupcakesandBunting? Or has somebody else nicked it? And who is TheDevilsConcubine?

CupcakesandTwunting · 16/07/2011 22:57

Nah I like mrsdonkeybucket. It's puerile and funny enough for me to like it without knowing the background!

AitchTwoOh · 16/07/2011 22:58

dunno who tdc is, but it looks like bupcakes is now cupcakes? is that right?

CupcakesandTwunting · 16/07/2011 22:59

Twunting is me, Cunting.

Shall I start another thread to tell everyone?

AitchTwoOh · 16/07/2011 22:59

mrsdb reminds me of when jordan said to that woman on the graeme norton show 'you must 'ave a bucket', and in so doing became princess of all our hearts.

TheDevilsConcubine · 16/07/2011 22:59

best not be cupcakesandSplaying then,

AitchTwoOh · 16/07/2011 22:59

don't be cupcakes, bupcakes... you are right, cupcakes isn't you.

reelingintheyears · 16/07/2011 23:00

I like donkeybucket..
It sounds rude

AitchTwoOh · 16/07/2011 23:00

TheDevilsConcubine · 16/07/2011 23:00
