[small brain]

I've seen a few recently, and I don't thinl they are topical name changes.

Confused

So, could people not do it?

Ok?

I know! I know!

Is it BrianCoxWearsSmellySocks?

MardyBra · 06/09/2012 20:25

He looks like he should be on Red Dwarf.

MardyBra · 06/09/2012 20:26

I like this game. Should we have a separate thread to guess the name from the pics?

TalcAndTurnips · 06/09/2012 20:27

Well you start it then.

If I do, it'll be on page 3 by 2100 Sad

CahorsToulouseReims · 06/09/2012 20:28

Excellent idea.

Got to run now - but will do later Wink

PseudoBadger · 06/09/2012 20:39

I promise this isn't me Shock

TalcAndTurnips · 06/09/2012 20:51

Psuedo - do you have Badger hos in your employ?

PseudoBadger · 06/09/2012 21:01

It's a very disturbing image isn't it!

EmpressOfTheGoldFlames · 07/09/2012 11:35

I mix up the cupoftea posters, I always assume it's cupofteaplease & then work from there.

I meant to PM you about tethersendtoo, Tethers, but never got round to it. I thought it was you for a minute & then thought it sounded very unlikely. Tethersendtoo has cherubs. I thought the 'too' on the end implied that she'd tried for your name & found it was taken.

BadgerFace · 07/09/2012 12:04

I'd better point out that the link in PseudoBadger's post is not me either!

I would never wear white. It washes me out.

PseudoBadger · 07/09/2012 12:14

Are you sure? It does bear a certain resemblance....

KeemaNaanAndCurryOn · 07/09/2012 12:17

I'm pretty sure I'm the only take-away on here.

Could be wrong though.

EmpressOfTheGoldFlames · 07/09/2012 12:34

Don't think I've seen any other takeways. Fruit, cheese & sandwiches, yes.

JenaiMarrHePlaysGuitar · 07/09/2012 13:16

The SB that is no longer here confused me with her name, but her posting style was v.different to SPB's and iirc SPB was very gracious about the name theft similarity.

When I first joined I was an otter, then another otter, then I realised there were other otters and I was muddying the waters with my ottery paws, so became who I am now.

YANBU, basically.

BadgerFace · 07/09/2012 15:15

If you look on my profile page you will see exactly what sort of Badger I am PseudoBadger...

I like this thread. Didn't expect to meet another Badger today.

BadgerFace · 07/09/2012 15:16

(I meant on my photos!)

PseudoBadger · 07/09/2012 15:46

OMG! My (new) name is also inspired by a JellyCat badger! And I live in London! But I win, cos I'm younger Wink

I haven't seen CheerfulYank for a bit. Is she still around?

MardyBra · 07/09/2012 16:59

Wrong thread. Blush Was meant for the "Whatever happened to..." discussion.

toldmywrath · 07/09/2012 20:35

Totally off subject here-but what is the colour orange/gold thing about please
?? From a naive mumsnetter!

EmpressOfTheGoldFlames · 07/09/2012 23:04

It's about this, Wrath.

toldmywrath · 08/09/2012 14:29

Thank you Empress I had no idea, now I understand the reason for it plus have been enlightened about this painful subject.
