Assuming quite a few of u will of seen the removed thread where it seems someone thought they could be very rude and hurtful in reference to an internet handle! - obvs if u reference a show or celebrity in ur handle u hold the same views & lifestyle etc.....
So just for full disclosure, as I was unaware of this rule before an insightful dickhead of a poster drew my attention too it - I'm not more coffee than actual human person, I just quite like it - I'm definitely at least 90% human

sarcasm alert incase any one is offended - it is mn after all

Didn't see the thread human but your post reminded me about a thread I posted on a long time ago that got quite heated.

One poster got very put out about something I said in relation to something to do with animals - actually can't remember any of the details - but, in what I take it was supposed to be a harsh put down, poster replied, 'well judging from your name you obviously know nothing about animals'.

Yep, got me there.

Oh ok. Well I'm not a dinosaur, although I may appear to be to my children, and I don't dance very often either. Just to be clear.....

TinklyLittleLaugh · 08/10/2015 00:59

Hmm, I've got quite a raucous cackle to be honest.

My name's not Lily but I do have long legs :)

I'm neither an alpaca nor particularly dramatic.

I do not wear pyjamas on my face, nor is my face made from pyjamas

MyFavouriteClintonisGeorge · 08/10/2015 01:08

But my favourite Clinton really is George.

What was the problem with your username, though, I don't get it.

OfficeGirl1969 · 08/10/2015 01:12

To be honest I should probably be fine under the Trades Description Act....because whilst I do work in an office, I've not been a girl for MANY years!!

Mmmmcake123 · 08/10/2015 01:13

Mw neither

TheExMotherInLaw · 08/10/2015 01:16

I think I saw what you are on about, and I am just as mystified now as I was then. I evidently don't spend enough time online to have seen that handle elsewhere, or have any clue what the slur was, or even if it was a total coincidence of a few chosen letters.
Mine is totally true.

Gruntfuttock · 08/10/2015 01:26

My futtock grunts night and day.

goddessofsmallthings · 08/10/2015 01:43

I am a goddess of all things but modesty prevents me boasting about it. Smile

BewitchedBotheredandBewildered · 08/10/2015 01:51

I am not, and neither do I effect, any of the above Grin

Great song though.

YellowBucket · 08/10/2015 02:02

I lied. My bucket is actually black Sad

Pennybubbly · 08/10/2015 02:03

My name's not Penny and I'm DEFINITELY not bubbly.
I did chew them oft as a child though.

Crazycatlaydee · 08/10/2015 02:03

Mine is pretty much dead on

MoiraBrown101 · 08/10/2015 02:34

Alas, my name is not Moira Brown.

However, those who've played Fallout 3 may recognise the Megaton shopkeepers' name and the number of the vault.

yakari · 08/10/2015 02:37

Damn - you mean I'm not a French talking, North American Indian kid? But can I still talk to the animals?

MrsTerryPratchett · 08/10/2015 02:40

Sadly, no.

anklebitersmum · 08/10/2015 02:40

Mine's pretty self explanatory, although my lot never actually bit any ankles. Grin
