Mine is the name I had for a fantasy football team in 1990s. A pun on where I lived at the time.

Mine is after my favourite (but a bit obscure) Christmas carol. A great one to sing.

AlbusSeverusMalfoy · 01/06/2018 19:03

Nope. Just like the way it rolls. Plus 3 of my favourites. Would be too long to use them all

Albus
Shape
Malfoy (father and son)
Dobby
Arthur
Molly
Lupin
Tonks...
Actually the list is quite long.

Mine isn't a tribute to Panini albums or mint boiled sugar sweets, but very closely linked to my wedding & honeymoon many years ago.

I went to a Bryan Adams concert last year and cried through the whole thing. I told my husband through heaving big sobs that I wanted to be at the stage because I just wanted to touch his ankle.

I have been a fan of his music since I was a teenager Grin

Sanity is a myth - everyone is a little bit mad, in one way or another!

A repeated line in my DS's favourite Julia Donaldson book Wake Up Lydia Lou

HereBeFuckery · 01/06/2018 19:22

Mine is pretty simple - on old maps it said 'here be dragons'. Now we know the geography of the earth, the bits around the edge of life are where there is fuckery, rather than dragons.

We share our house with a growing number of dolls. Until last week none had names. So the first doll picked up is "doll", any subsequent doll is "more doll". I spend a lot of my life being "more doll" when I'm being their voice.

You're not supposed to say the real name of 'The Scottish Play' in the theatre just as you don't reveal your real name on here.

I have two teenage daughters and three cats.

twernip · 01/06/2018 19:35

I did something utterly idiotic (not an uncommon occurrence!) and tried to call myself a "twerp" and "turnip" at the same time.
