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

Ignoring all of the above including the grammar pedantry, may I just point out that the letters Y and O are not in any way rationed and you may put them on the front of U to make a proper word. Then I can have a bash at the rest of your unintelligible difficult to read post.

This is Mumsnet after all

FuckYouChrisAndThatHorse · 08/10/2015 13:55

One of my favourite people is called Chris, and I actually quite like horses.

GoodnightDarthVader · 08/10/2015 14:20

I don't know Darth Vader and have never wished him a good night.

But yes, please use "you" and "your / you're" on the internet, people will take you more seriously.

helenahandbag · 08/10/2015 14:24

As much as I agree with the sentiment of my username, my name isn't Helena. I do love handbags though

I only took this name because someone else stole helenahandcart, which is Chandler's dad's Vegas stage name in Friends Sad

queenmools · 08/10/2015 14:37

I'm the Queen!

Chattymummyhere · 08/10/2015 15:03

I'm chatty and a mum so mines ok.

Want something more interesting though.

dontcallmelen · 08/10/2015 16:10

Mine comes from a line by my favourite character in Father Ted, no one ever seems to get it, even though have spotted other user names alluding to Father Ted

ShelaghTurner · 08/10/2015 16:18

One of my names is truly mine. The other is wishful thinking. But by God I'd marry the doctor in a heartbeat.

SquirrelledAway · 08/10/2015 16:36

Whilst I'm not actually a squirrel, I do hoard nuts stuff.

Helen. Aww thanks you have made my day, dont know how to do happy thingys on my iPad.

TiredButFineODFOJ · 08/10/2015 19:25

Dontcallme... i think that Len needs a capital L so it's easier to read. Also I hope no-one has tried to take a photo of their mates kicking you up the arse of late!

dontcallmelen · 08/10/2015 19:41

Tired. You are right definitely need a capital L, hmm probably photos somewhere in my dim & distant gin soaked past.

Topseyt · 08/10/2015 19:59

I find posts written in text-speak very off-putting. Much more effort to understand them.

Topsey isn't my name by the way. I do, however, have a cocker spaniel by that name.

PHANTOMnamechanger · 08/10/2015 20:03

I'm not a ghost.
And I haven't even changed my name for yonks can't be arsed

Just blame it on Roger Whittaker.

SeamstressfromTreacleMineRoad · 08/10/2015 20:26

I can't sew...

SeamstressfromTreacleMineRoad · 08/10/2015 20:27

Dirty bird. Grin

gincamelbak · 08/10/2015 20:31

I don't like gin. And have never put it in a camelbak.

JesusInTheCabbageVan · 08/10/2015 20:32

I am the second coming of the one true Christ, but I'm still saving up for the van.

JillBYeats · 08/10/2015 20:32

But I am Jill B Yeats, lesser known and not-a-bit-artistic descendant of the great Jack B Yeats.
