What it actually means? It means that I fancied a NC (I've had a few names over time) and I am not particularly imaginative.

Of course you could take it to mean I'm nosy, like bunches of flowers and an a goady fucker.

I do quite like flowers, but I'm not nosy and am probably only a goady fucker after Wine. Laptops should be fitted with breathalysers IMO IME
