Yet another thread where the OP has a niche role, and obviously doesnt want to say what it is with all the other stuff they have posted (understood!)

So how about you name change, tell us all about it - and lets see if you are recognised!

I'll bite. I'm world famous for something that happened to me over 25 years ago, to the extent that my now boss had a poster of me on his bedroom wall as a student.

And that is as much as you're getting.

@Eightypercent are you Monica Lewinsky?

I think @Eightypercent was the guy in the Diet Coke ad.

My dd is the only person to be registered with her name in the U.K. as far back as I can check. I love that, and don’t mention her name on SM because I don’t want it copying 😂

Is it
Tpau?
Nokia?

Chardonnay?

I've heard 2 of these

I'm about to take a fairly prominent role in the entertainment industry and I'm actually not sure how to go about, like... announcing it? If I put anything on social media I'd worry about enthusiastic fans coming for me - hacking the account? Doxxing? The fanbase can be intense. Some of my friends are fans of the IP and... I dunno. I'm a bit nervous about telling them. That'll be outwardly supportive but someone's gonna think 'why'd they hire that idiot.'

Anyway. I'll know soon enough how weird it can be to have an 'outing' role.

I do think it's a bit silly when Second Assistant Office Supervisor Deirdre thinks her job is so unique that no one could ever replicate it elsewhere, but then she's probably told that to stop her seeking a better paid role. How many times has 'what I do is just so specialised, I can't leave' cropped up here?

If I were you, I'd just wait for the BBC to announce it. Are they going for the reveal in the Wimbledon Men's Final like they did last time? 😉
