See we both have very similar names....

I have been around for 3-4 years and have built up a bit of a good rapor etc with fellow mner's.

There is a new(ish..?) mner with a similar name and already there is evidence of confussion..ie others leaving feedback for me but spelling it the way of the other mn iykwim...

I have pointed this out (nicely) to the other mn and have had negative replies iykwim..

Just thought it would be easier for everyone if we had differences to tell us apart as im sure she doesn't want to be mixed up as me and vice versa..???

aibu..?

There is a Carmen on here but I don't mind, most people know me and distinguish there extra 'ere' and that there is a wine tie-in.

Why don't you just change your name? I am sure that I was here first....

VeniVidiVickiQV · 18/02/2008 22:37

I think the word you are looking for is "d'oh"

ArtistFormerlyKnownAsLapin · 18/02/2008 22:38

You are all utter utter barstewards

ShinyHappyPeopleHoldingHands · 18/02/2008 22:38

It goes down like a lead pair of knickers, trust me..

I got all precious around Christmas when various new "Shinies" appeared and dared to ask one if she'd consider changing (it was VERY similar, ShinyHappyMummy or something) and people kept thinking she was me/I was her.. so I said something.. nicely!.. and people got really narky and told me I had no right to ask.. altho I did mention it on a thread where she was posting about a psychotic ex if memory serves along with genuine advice I hasten to add.. so I did apologise..

I've given up now. The latest Shiny (of the Dyson variety) seems to be enjoying a personal relationship with The Almighty Cod herself, so I'm fucked really aren't I..

Bring on the Shinies.. I know I'm the orginal...

ShinyHappyPeopleHoldingHands · 18/02/2008 22:39

Oh hello ShinyDyson-a-few-posts-down!

litllelapin · 18/02/2008 22:40

leeetlelappin · 18/02/2008 22:43

I am so tired of being mistaken for that stroppy one

latelapin · 18/02/2008 22:44

What's been happening on this thread?

VeniVidiVickiQV · 18/02/2008 22:45

snort!

LyraSilvertongue · 18/02/2008 22:45

There are a few other Lyras here. But they don't post that often.

Flamesparrow · 18/02/2008 22:46

I had people asking if I was Flameboy for a while... she hasn't been around since the end of Jan though, so maybe she namechanged? (or left )

Yeah but you haven't got cod-status I'm afraid LLapin which is why I didn't cite your relationship, or it's type..
