Not necessarily an aibu but it's Sunday, ergo fun day...

Over the years I've had many NNs which either described the situation I was in or a favourite quote from a book or film.

What's yours? And who has the best NN? (Hopes FuckYouChrisAndThatHorse turns up). My current NN came from a very trivial discussion I had with my friend over what I was making her for dinner and she said "You're making potatoes! Just fucking potatoes!?" And I replied with "Well yes, please appreciate the humble potato."

I dowse...therefore I am

Been dowsing two years now and I just love it.

One day I will find potable water in the middle of a field far from civilisation

I hope to be absolutely brilliant at it.

Hey, ears - I have three kids too, hence my username. And I'm a Dad. Not very imaginative am I?

Mine comes from a fairy name generator that someone linked to a while ago. The name I had been using was much duller.

My children are gross

How my DD attempted to insult her cousin when they were having an argument, and seriously lost her temper when everyone giggled.

Going back about 5-6 years DS2 used to go around the house randomly shouting this.

Well first I had to kill TiggyA, then TiggyB, then you can guess the rest.

Grumpy squash is from plants vs zombies. DC loved the game and we have the soft toys; the squash was looking at me with its funny face when I was registering.
I am not all that grumpy (usually) but am a bit squishy.

Love it Armani - it all makes perfect sense now

mine is the eating plan that I follow

I was 3madboys then had Ds4 and became 4madboys, then I had dd and became 5madthings.

It's a line from a radio comedy show & I need one...

'MillionToOneChances crop up 9 times out of ten'. I love Pratchett (and the mate of mine who managed to work that quote into his very high-brow book on international aid )

Anyone who grew up with Monica Edwards books will know who Tamzin Grey is.

Doctor Who reference

its vipers nest with the 'n' and the 'v' switched round

Mine is a Friends reference. Phoebe has changed her name to Princess Consuela Bananahammock and Mike says he is going to be called CrapBag "Think of a bag of crap" . Loved that episode. Paul Rudd was brilliant as Mike.

I just love Father Ted, so I do!
Also there is a shop near me called Crillys and everytime I go past it I shout "crilly!" in the voice of Bishop Brennan. I think I had gone past just before signing up so it was in my head

I ?? Rik Mayall.

Nigel Farage.

I had Iron Maiden in my head at the time.

I wouldn't even say I'm a fan.

What a great thread!

So many fantastic names.

Thank you, humblepotato

It's the name of a book that I was at the time reading to my dd hundreds of times a day. We will have it most nights before bed...I moved it upstairs to her bedtime books pile to give myself a break from it during the day at least!
