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.

It was on the front of a notebook I'd bought in Spain and was on the table right next to me when I decided to namechange. I think it means A5 (size) 80 pages but I'm not sure.

The Rainbow King's not so upbeat cousin, from True and the Rainbow Kingdom. It was my daughter's favourite show for a good few months.
He suits me quite well 😂

@LaMarschallin @LibrariesGiveUsPower - she is a nurse! I’ve seen her before on a health thread (and she drew attention to her name, I remembered it as have friends with IBS & Crohns, and bowel issues myself) - tickled me 🤣 I always think of Howard & Bernadette’s 1st date on TBBT

always notice her now - 👋 hi @haveyouopenedyourbowelstoday

Well remembered!
Thank you for solving the mystery Smile

The band of a song I quite like.

Grew up being told to keep my mouth shut as we didn't want the world to know how stupid I am. I know I'm not stupid but definitely weird.

I just think they're pretty and the few weeks that they're out in Spring always feels like such a happy optimistic time.

AvaCallanach · 10/11/2022 21:37

It's from Helen Fielding's "Perfect" crime series where the two main characters, Ava Turner and Luc Callanach have been "will they/won't they" for about 7 books. I just decided they undoubtedly, eventually, will.

I’ve been enjoying this thread but there’s a poster I haven’t seen yet - noticed the other day (can’t remember where) and nearly asked what the name was about… it was really long, something to do with parking and the last bit was

“xxxRitaThanksJanet” - are you out there?
