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

I've never had an arrow in my knee.

MyrtleMoaning · 08/10/2015 08:23

I don't live in a loo, although I do enjoy a good whinge.

I'm baffled by the offence taken at your name.

SacredHeart · 08/10/2015 08:24

I am not the icon of divine love for humanity.

I think some of it is a bit shit to be honest.

I am not a small rodent wearing a flat cap, nor do I own a whippet....

DontBuyANewMumCashmere · 08/10/2015 08:34

You really shouldn't ever buy a new mum cashmere, unless you're willing to handwash the fuckers for her.

SiencynArsecandle · 08/10/2015 08:34

I am not actually maried to Leigh Halfpenny although I would like to be

TeamEponine · 08/10/2015 08:47

I most certainly am Team Eponine! Cosette is just pathetic and wet. Marius picked the wrong girl. I'll never forgive him, even if he did hold her in her dying moments.

morecoffeethanhuman · 08/10/2015 08:47

Well I do take a snowman with me wherever I go. Be rude not to.

Littlegreyauditor · 08/10/2015 08:55

Not grey, not little, do not audit.

I may be regarded by some, mainly my previous boss, as the most evil dhlang, that is possible I suppose. I do have a grey hoodie, which is seldom worn due to being unflattering and making me 'look like I've died' (cheers mum).

I really am a brown trout.

I really am a South American camelid preparing for the End Of The World.

Marcipex · 08/10/2015 09:00

I am probably a sentient being. But no one will ever know.

HappyGirlNow · 08/10/2015 09:02

I can be one narky cow. As currently being seen on the high/low earner thread Grin

SalemSaberhagen · 08/10/2015 09:03

Was it the eastenders thread, OP?

I'm not the cat of Sabrina the Teenage Witch.

TurquoiseCat · 08/10/2015 09:03

I am not a turquoise cat. I wish I was a cat. Cats are the best!

Wrt the thread, a poster started a fake thread, got offended when people said wtf and randomly accused another poster of being a bigot due to their username. The op then flounced.

AnotherCider · 08/10/2015 09:05

Well, I could really do with Another Cider. But perhaps not at this time of morning.... Grin

BertrandRussell · 08/10/2015 09:06

Is anyone ridiculously pleased with themselves when they recognise a allusion in someone's name - particularly if it's a mildly high brow one? (Looking at you, racundra!). Or am I the only pathetic smart arse around? Blush

Not male, not dead. Posh and atheist, though.

QuintShhhhhh · 08/10/2015 09:07

I dont even know how to be me.

But quiet I am not.

I am the wife of the Roman Emperor Augustus!
