What is the inspiration behind your user name.
Mine is my love of the sea tranquility lighthouses and of course no light house would be complete without a ghost

I saw a thread where someone referred to gym bunnies. I hate the gym, but love gin and bunnies.
I love some of the usernames on here and wish I was a bit more imaginative Grin

DoJo · 18/06/2015 23:50

See, I always assumed yours was inspired by 'Round the Twist'. Mine is just a version of another username that I had on another website which I realised at the last minute I didn't want to be traceable on as I used it for work...!

Iliveinalighthousewiththeghost · 18/06/2015 23:52

Aww. You could be me. I love Gin well anything going really and adore cutesy iccle baby bunnies. Grin
meh hate the gym though.

I've seen your username on other threads OP and I thought it was a 'Round the Twist' reference! Mine is inspired by the best name EVER...

Because on the Chalk, you can't be a halfway decent witch without being well acquainted with the diseases of the the sheep - and their remedies!

Iliveinalighthousewiththeghost · 18/06/2015 23:59

Oh please do enlighten me about the Round the twist reference.
Mind you I am round the twist so I can see how you've mAde the assumption Grin

Um... I smoke roll ups and drink decaff - no creativity there. GinBunny is good one :)

I feel thoroughly ashamed of myself for not getting the reference in your username until I read that.

BettyCatKitten · 19/06/2015 00:04

Btw I loved 'Round the twist'

DiseasesOfTheSheep · 19/06/2015 00:05

To be fair, cariadlet, I could just be very interested in sheep and their ailments Wink

Iliveinalighthousewiththeghost · 19/06/2015 00:05

Aww, Betty. You have cute kittens. I'm so jealous. Give them a squeeeeeeeeeeeeze from me. I love kittens. Oh I could eat them

LoisWilkersonsLastNerve · 19/06/2015 00:12

From tv show Malcolm in the Middle. Thinking of changing it to Beverly Goldberg, my new favourite tv mum!

mileend2bermondsey · 19/06/2015 00:12

I used to live in Bermondsey and my DP lived in Mile End so I spent a lot of time going back between the two.

Someone had already nicked TaggieCampbellBlack

crikeylou · 19/06/2015 00:16

Just love the word Crikey - my late DM used to use it instead of swear words and brings back good memories

RuggerHug · 19/06/2015 00:16

I typed too fast and meant to type RuggerPug. because I love rugby and pugs. but I stuck with a rugger hugger comment I got in work. not witty, but I don't post enough to feel I need meaning

TwinkieTwinkle · 19/06/2015 00:16

This thread has devastated me. OP, I always thought your username was a reference to Round the Twist. Utterly gutted it's not. Sad

Fatmomma99 · 19/06/2015 00:16

My user name is self-describing, but dull. I'm trying to work on it (the name and the person who posts).

The reference to on the Chalk and the Sheep means it's from the late and much-missed Terry Pratchett.

DiseasesOfTheSheep - funny you should post - I was considering starting a thread titled "is it too soon to name our favorite?" (mine would be anything with Tiffany, the Wee Free Men or Granny W in it. Or Mort)

Fatmomma99 · 19/06/2015 00:19

LoisWilkersonsLastNerv My DD LOVES the Goldbergs, but I HATE the "mom". She's SO utterly PA, manipulative, etc. I just don't get it. And don't you feel how smotherly she is makes her a LOUSY parent? I do!

manicinsomniac · 19/06/2015 00:20

because I suffer from sporadic mania and insomnia - when I signed up for mn I was experiencing both!
