[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?

He looks like he should be on Red Dwarf.

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

Well you start it then.

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

Psuedo - do you have Badger hos in your employ?

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

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.

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.

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

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

Could be wrong though.

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

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.

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.

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