To wonder why my brother signed my birthday card "Kenneth Branagh" when he isn't

[firemansamisnormansdad]

WTF.

I remember Peter's Friends. They were all in the footlights together and the film was the last time they ever spoke to Tony Slattery. Whatever happened to him after his breakdown and subsequent appearance in Kingdom ( with Stephen Frybso I have to take that bit back)?

I received a Mother's Day card from DS that said on the front " You're Like A Mother To Me " I pointed out that I was ,in fact, his mother ( I was there and it made my eyes smart ) To which he responded " I know that but you act like a mother ...winge, winge, nag, nag .

Little swine.

Trumpton: hahahahahahah lol love it. Ther's this really evil part of me that wants to give people totally inappropriate xmas presents, like canestan thrush or pile cream, you know,just random stuff from the pharmacist. Actually that's a funny thing to do for secret santa this year! Should I?

New thread: AIBU to give someone canestan thrush as a secret santa present?

The online thing solves it I'd say! He has filled in your card, then accidentally hit "paste" and Kenneth Branagh was the last thing he'd copied and pasted!

Theseq are brilliant
Op do you know why yet?

Stewart Lee and Richard Herring have also fallen out. I saw them blank each other last week.

teamimizumi only if they are constantly scratching their crotch !

Stealth - no,not yet. He "liked" one of my facebook statuses yesterday so i know he's still alive. Maybe I should write it on his wall and ask him that way! Love that this thread is still going!

My DS's wonderful and eccentric godfather signs cards with 'Jeffdave' His name is Jeff, but DS (5) keeps confusing him with our other good friend Dave (no idea why - they look and are completely different!) Luckily, Jeff thinks it's hysterical, and so signs with his new 'name' .

Jeffdave also knits every DC a great hat. DC3 (who he has nicknamed Bubbles) will be wearing her winged helmet in about three weeks (though probably not immediately....)

I love weird people!

OMG TeamUmizumi did start a thread!

DB gone to ground so I will send him an e-card to his work email on Monday saying "mumsnetters want to know why you signed my card Kenneth Branagh?" and sign it Barbara Windsor.

yes, if it was an e card it was probably something like hitting paste without meaning to

We're not a close family!

Seems obvious to me that your DB is referring to a distant time in the past (since you've clearly forgotten it) when you told him you fancied Kenneth Branagh. So he is throwing in some kisses 'from' KB as a sort of present, iyswim, maybe.

"the bloke in the top hat at the Olympics opening ceremony who everyone thought was Abraham lincoln" = Brunel! Check out the hat . But if that doesn't shed any light either..... random!!

Hilarious

I'm so sorry to be the one to tell you, but your sil has kicked out your db, and Kenneth Branagh is her new dh. What a way for them to tell you. Honestly!

But wasn't KB associated with the DC? Maybe they've changed his name by deed poll and will be referred to as Kenneth Branagh from now on. Hello, this is my wife and my son, Kenneth Branagh.

Then they can dress him in an orange parka and he'll be Kenny from South Park!

I just want to say, though it is of little help to anyone, that I have a friend who is friends with Keanu Reeves.

I'm not though.

Brilliant. This has made me actually LOL. Loudly enough to wake the dog up. Brilliant.

I'm a weird name signer

I also sent my ex mil a Christmas card from Shane from westlife. Along with a poem inside written just from westlife songs!

Ed: what, you're not Keanu Reeves?

Right, still no word from DB but i will be seeing him at my cousin's wedding in two weeks so will update you all then.

Oh god, can hear my own DCs killing themselves so need to log off and sort out the carnage. Boo. Tis too early on a Saturday for this (said Kenneth Branagh paraphrasing Shakespeare).

I'm dying to know now. Please don't forget!
