To ask you to vote in a poll re: my username

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

Lion is in water so all shaggy and heavy by virtue of soggy fur. Plus it will be on edge by virtue of being in water anyway. Shark is going to town on it. Legs gone! Lion on belly too. I maybe did not mention i was thinking Great White shark, so big and very bitey.

HalfTermHero · 16/07/2011 00:48

Fair play Soss - you got me!

Sossiges · 16/07/2011 00:48

Or a big muddy puddle. Why is this shark getting everything it's own way?

Sossiges · 16/07/2011 00:49

New fight - 100 Yorshire Terriers Vs lion?

LyingWitchInTheWardrobe2726 · 16/07/2011 00:49

I wish I had had a swig of whatever nectar you ladies are drinking tonight, I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about. It's like that age-old question about who is stronger - an angel or a ghost, and I don't know the answer to that either...

Ooooh I could murder a kebab. Come on SM I'll take you up Abrikebabra. Doner with extra chilli sauce and garlic mayo? I'm paying. Do you want a cone of chips as well?

poke o'chips aye im there.you had me at murder

HalfTermHero · 16/07/2011 00:51

I don't know which way to go. If the terriers could overpower the lion and get it down they could maybe bite it's eyes out or something? But lion is so stong. Very tough one.

Sossiges · 16/07/2011 00:51

Possibly terriers. Where would this fight be held? Grin

No the fight cannot be held in water. Shark will have unfair advantage. Sossiges is right: custard or jelly.

I find your name very cheering and would be very sad if you are pressured to change it.

I imagine that the cunting is made of little diamond shaped bits of fabric, embroidered with fanjos but in a frightfully tasteful Cath Kidston way. It probably looks very jolly fluttering in the breeze.

Fight would be held in a Pets At Home store.

Here's your doner and poke o chips, lassy. I've even chucked in a can of Irn Bru so you've got the energy to fight someone at the taxi rank. I look after you.

I don't know why but "fight would be held in a Pets at Home store" has made me shake with the LULZ Grin

So you know some people don't like your name, MN asked you to change it, they then asked you not to do a poll and yet you still did?

Why not just do as they (and others presumably) have asked you to do? MN provide you with a free service you seem to enjoy, would it not be polite to do as they requested? They do, you know, own it, not you.

HalfTermHero · 16/07/2011 01:02

Store would be wrecked by time fight concluded. Gerbils and rabbits running amok. I really am torn. Dh reckons the terriers stand a canny chance cos 100 terriers, that's a fucking lot of them.

Iteotwawki · 16/07/2011 01:05

Ok, you wanted honesty - so here is some, from a mostly lurking occasional poster.

I don't like your name. It doesn't offend me, I just don't like casual profanity. For some reason (completely illogical) the casual use of "c" annoys me more than, for example, "f".

I dislike textspeak immensely as well, I doubt people are going to stop using it.

Would I complain? No. Do I choose not to read past "Bupcakes" - yes. I'll read the body of the post and comment or not based on what is said, not who is saying it.

Should you change your name because 1,10,100 people don't like it? Your nn, your choice. Don't change it on my account.

Mountains, molehills anyone? Nothing better to do on a sunny Saturday afternoon?

HalfTermHero · 16/07/2011 01:06

Am off to bed now. Bupcakes, stay cunty Smile

squeakytoy · 16/07/2011 01:11

I dont mind your name.

I still wont fly on yer poxy airline though! Wink

microserf · 16/07/2011 07:54

i miss all the good threads due to my hectic social life sitting at home having an argument with dh about who can sort out virgin media last night.

i think it's a fantastic username. i'd be personally offended if you changed it. Grin

Piggyleroux · 16/07/2011 08:05

I like it. It sounds naughty. Smile

basingstoke · 16/07/2011 08:06

I think your name is Trying Too Hard.

And so is this thread.
