bodingading - you've reminded me of Riven - did she ever come back?

noddyholder · 20/03/2015 13:16

Pag and her dogs Anyfucker and her advice LaQueen and her death stare Misdee (and Peter)

MuddhaOfSuburbia · 20/03/2015 13:17

I've 'seen' Riven on twitter. Shiney is on Facebook. Haven't seen either of them on here for tiiiime

PausingFlatly · 20/03/2015 13:30

Boffy, you were never new on MN. You've always been here. Grin

bodingading · 20/03/2015 13:36

IDK! I didn't know her. Her name just came to mind as I was listing.

In response to Pud upthread, I namechange cause I have a decidedly unusual set of life circumstances that I can't put aside/conceal/obfuscate and still have real conversations so if I used any name for too long I would be recognised. And that would make me sad cause I love MN and I don't want to quit you!

BIWI · 20/03/2015 13:57

Lots of ex-MNers now use Twitter.

I miss GetOrf particularly.

RoonersisNOTRoonerspism · 20/03/2015 14:18

I miss hunker as well Sad she was hysterical.

RoonersisNOTRoonerspism · 20/03/2015 14:18

just glad Showy is still here!

ZingDramaQueenOfSheeba · 20/03/2015 14:20

I remember a lot of people.
and what they said and where they live

Hullygully · 20/03/2015 14:22

Like Hearts said, I could list at least a hundred if I wasn't old with pre-onset and no memory.

What was that thing about "normally you post sensibly, but this time..." or something, d'you remember?

ZingDramaQueenOfSheeba · 20/03/2015 14:23

FuckIt

I'm happy to treat you like shit. to balance things out Wink Wink [nudge] [nudge]

ThatBloodyWoman · 20/03/2015 14:29

Yes,to echo a pp,is custardo around still?
I liked her.

kickassangel · 20/03/2015 14:35

I always get completely confused by name changes and never keep track of who people are/were. I only named changed once, about 11 years ago.

I think, atm, I'm the only Angel that I see around, but there have been spates where there are people with really similar names to me (there was a kiss ass one at one point) so people get confused.

I don't post prolifically, although I read active convos several times a day, so I'm not well know. However, the people who know me, know me.

BBear · 20/03/2015 16:17

What happened to the lovely Mars lady - creator of the still-famous Marslady Lemon drizzle tray bake. Which I still make today and think of her and how great she was. Know she name changed but she looked after my son as a baby and I still think of her fondly nearly 8 years on...

Alisvolatpropiis · 20/03/2015 16:28

Portofino was banned?! Shock

What for?

WombleGravy · 20/03/2015 16:33

Good question.

wreckingball · 20/03/2015 16:36

It would be nice to see GetOrf come back and ShirleyKnot was the best, she swoops in and then out again occasionally I believe.
I liked SheShelob too and TheCatFromJapan and TSC.

Clawdy · 20/03/2015 17:20

I never seem to see posts from HullyGully any more.

Grantaire · 20/03/2015 17:27

Lots of the people listed are still on here under name changes. Some sporadically. Others are long gone but still on FB/Twitter. A few have melted into the shadows. I am still on here for example and am mentioned above

I had no idea Portofino was banned.

Grantaire · 20/03/2015 17:28

Hully will appear if you post a thread about smacking. She is The Voice Of Reason. Isn't that right Huls?

Hullygully · 20/03/2015 17:31

I am! Who you?

AnyFucker · 20/03/2015 17:36

mentioning Hully's name is like knocking 3 times Smile

Grantaire · 20/03/2015 17:40

She's Bloody Mary. Or before Wine O'clock, her more sensible sister Bloody Shame.

Me? I'm just me. Nothing to see here. Move along.
