Just that really. What is the meaning behind/origin of your username?
I’ll go first: mine is based on the name of a holiday home I visited many years ago now.

Thanks for the earworm (Great song!)

I lack imagination – name change regularly, but they are never very funny. I’m enjoying this thread

I think at the time In The Flesh was on and I loved the characters/relationship Amy and Philip so used that as a username. It was a good few years ago now and I'm still deeply disappointed they didn't make another series!

I took a photo for MN in my house of something gold, then NC.
At the time my daughter had been talking about birth stones.
I googled birth metal and mine isn’t a single metal. So my username is not true.

Simply Bez offered to do a fitness show to rival Joe Wicks.

I never baked bread, redecorated, started an exercise regime, got excited about home schooling and so on, but a Bez exercise class with gin in hand sounded fairly tolerable.

Candida is a woman's name, but Candida Albicans is thrush AKA irritating twat 😄But it's Ms Albicans to you 😉

And do you sometimes lie awake, alone, regretting some foolish thing, some sinful thing you've done?? 😇

jonesy1999 · 09/11/2022 10:15

Maiden name and the year I left school (an awesome year). Not very exciting!

Big fan of hula hoops: both in crisp form and the exercise!
