Phallus Receptacles would be a good band.

HoneySwampDragonInMourning - I am mourning him too. I did consider a Pratchett name change but the good ones all seem to be taken.

You need to sound the Moldies Klaxon,HJGranger.

I NC when I feel I've given a bit too much away. 2 NCes in 3 years and I agree that you get treated differently if you have been around for a while but I guess that's because recognition builds a certain punt of trust rather than cliquey-ness (sp?).

ANYWAY, I've been waiting for a thread where it seemed appropriate to share what I think sparklingbrook is like in RL, and this may be it so I'm going for it. I picture a refined lady with a pastel green cashmere sweater and beige trousers, sitting barefoot on a sofa with legs curled up, hair perfectly blow dried, stroking a cat and drinking White wine from a massve glass.

I don't visualise anyone else, just sparkling. Weird innit?

TiggyD · 20/03/2015 22:51

What are you weaving Zombie?

BasinHaircut · 20/03/2015 22:51

Punt? I mean amount

And Shatters is still alive! It's like watching an old Top Of The Pops here! Without the perverts.

What happened to Theamazingbouncingferret? Not seen her around for ages.

TiggyD · 20/03/2015 22:57

Why not try being Lola DePlume, the legendary exotic Brazilian librarian?

Salmotrutta · 20/03/2015 22:59

I quite like you too... Wink

StayingSamVimesGirl · 20/03/2015 23:01

You are so clever, HoneySwampDragon!!

CheerfulYank · 20/03/2015 23:01

I recognize a lot if names. I don't know if they recognize me, though. :)

Samcro · 20/03/2015 23:01

WombleGravy · 20/03/2015 23:02

Wiping your brain to please Mintyy is more challenging.

See, that makes me picture Pag or LeQueen. Funny how you build up pictures in your head.

JuliaDream · 20/03/2015 23:04

I think it's just one of those things that happens on MN. You can NC all he time ,be on here all day and all night but no one would know if you were prolific or not.

Keep the same name and suddenly you are a target for all sorts of snidey shit.

Bambambini · 20/03/2015 23:04

Cheerfulyank - didn't you have the family photo debacle? If it's not you then obviously I've just put my size 4 and a halfs in it!

Pilgit · 20/03/2015 23:04

Anyfucker. If you want someone to snap you back to reality on your relationship. She is there dispensing her pearls of wisdom.

IamtheZombie · 20/03/2015 23:05

Lentils of course, Tiggy. This is MN after all.

Thanks, Honey. Gin Gin Gin

TiggyD · 20/03/2015 23:06

There are many good things about name changing, but I just think people will know it's me anyway. Unless I change accordion to the things I post. Have a serious name and a regular name.
