I recently got told on a thread that my nickname suggests I wouldn't offer sympathy to fellow MNers. How do you think people perceive your name as reflecting your posting style, and do you think I should change mine?

Some people have assumed I'm a man and therefore dismissed my accusations of sexism against men. Interesting.

Mine is what I called myself when I cleaned everything from a hopsital theatre to a nightclub to earn money to keep my teenage DH in the manner to which he was accustomed.

Now 20 years later he is about to be a father and it is payback time.

Bettercallsaul1 · 20/10/2013 13:53

To remind everyone of one of the best TV drama series ever and stress the "black comedy" aspect.

TalcAndTurnips · 20/10/2013 14:21

That once I was on a mining expedition to the Franciscan Metamorphic Belt of the western United States, searching for a vein of minerals when I happened upon a lone patch of purply-white spherical root vegetables growing high in the hills above Santa Barbara.

It was probably a moment that changed my life. From that moment on, it became the driving force in my quest for self-improvement via the medium of Emoticon Art. On returning to Europe, I felt drawn to share my experience with other like-minded people on an online geology/vegetable growing forum - which happened to be plaugued by trollery of the very worst kind. After years wandering the wilderness of the internet, I stumbled over Mumsnet, whilst googling a remedy for scrofula.

That may be what springs to mind when MNers see my name.

It would not be true, however - I have not been further west than Aberporth and I infinitely prefer parsnips. Such is life.
