To be irritated that a newbie has almost the same name as me?

[tassis]

Makes me a bit

she's only been here for 2 days and has posted heaps and I've been here for years and years and only post a bit so no-one knows me

i'm sure she's lovely and it's not like it's her fault, but I'm annoyed

(have asked her politely if she'd like to change her name...now she probably hates me)

AIBU?

Tassis.

YANBU, at all and you asked her very nicely to change.

But I will always know the difference, coz I have met you though changed name. Used to be K a l e x.

and you are so nice, I am sure that she will find a new name!!

phew!

i know you too oh wise nappy lady!

oh hello perigrine - you're very nice too! you doing ok? still in the area?

Hi, Perigrine!

I throw myself at your mercy....

I'm the one Ooggs is referring to, and after careful consideration I don't want to change my name.......

Beneath this masterful Harry Potter disguise , I'm oggsfrog.

I've on been here for over a year under various guises, and was lurking for a year before I registered, so I'm not exactly a newbie .

I'd honestly never encountered/heard of, or seen Ooggs, until a few weeks ago on a similar thread to this.

We post on different types of threads and I do not think we have similar posting styles.

I'm sometimes shortened to oggs or frog (a carry over from a previous incarnation), but usually only by people who know me well and there is no danger that they think I am somebody other than who I am.

So let rip. All opinions welcomed....... do I have to change?

i always thought expatinscotland was expatcat

So did I when I first encountered her, mmj - I was v confused!

yes still here and still in the area, all the meetups appear to be on the days I work , how are you and Ja9, not seen her posting for ages!

now that perigrine thing is not kind

i thought expat was expatKat too

Peregrine!!!!

Not nice!!!!

Thankyou Tassis!!

I'm fine thanks Peri - had a baby girl last Sept and ds is 4 now so things are fun filled and busy...ja9 moves house tomorrow (but not far) and has a gorgeous 4 month old baby girl.

I need to go and tidy my house...was hoping to do some next sale shopping but it's not happening...

Sorry Perigrine - I've had this since everyone suddenly had men's names like Alan - years and years and years, honest.

Don't use it often but this seemed the perfect opportunity

Peri - it seems Pere's only posted 6 times ever (and twice on this thread)

who are you usually Peregrine?

Well all right then - months & months & months!

OK Pere. I'll let you off this once .

But I agree ---- OUT yourself you false bird of prey!!!!

see, I beat Perigrine by an hour or so

(I will stop now)

But I agree ---- OUT yourself you false bird of prey!!!!

ok you have proved yourself,

but I have been posting as this since July 2005, and like Tassis I am not a prolific poster, so I am trying to take this in the hunour it is meant, but not really happy, that I feel kind of picked on

Sorry, Peri, the one I linked to below (July 06) really was your first post as Peri - I'm not getting at you, and I prob won't use Pere again unless the Alan theme resurrects itself as it's my bloke name, but I honestly did start with Pere just before you did with Peri!

Thanks Pere!

Obviously nobody has any objections to me keeping my name then .

no problem here

tassis - I had this with amen, bless him he did change his name i think. To what tho i dont know.

I added I was here first so bog off to mine for a bit
