To ask why you chose your username?

[Justanotherusername01]

I love seeing people’s usernames so was just curious really.

I’ve had loads of changes in my time here and just come back after a long time off. Some of mine have been LOTR (my favourite film) related, some random, others more personal. I usually pick something really quickly when I change it and change every few threads or so.

I remember some posters who never seemed to change, so you always knew who they were but I haven’t seen them post since I’ve been back.

Manon quickly became a favourite of mine too, her relationships with Abraxos and Asterin had me in tears.

Good luck with the book hangover, TOG took me forever to get over lol

Name change he while rewatching ‘What we do in the shadows’.

I’m what we call a judo mum! And the first bit refers to my name, so..

A band from the 80's and also the name of their biggest hit.

Mines inspired by Inside Out😁

Bohemond of Antioch was a Norman knight from the 11th century. He was one of the leaders of the First Crusade and stayed. He fell in love with the daughter of the Byzantine Emperor. It’s my favourite historical period.

I was in bed watching goodnight sweetheart and she's my favourite wife

I love the 40's fashions much more than I love the 90's

The adverts for the product called 'Spray Wipe Done' really used to sound like the voiceover was saying "Spray white dung", which made us always wrinkle our noses up in disgust whenever the ad came on TV!

They've changed it now, though - I think they finally sold enough product to be able to afford enunciation lessons for the voiceover artist!

It’s probably time for a change after probably 10+ years. Someone I know was doing up their house (still are actually) and were obsessed about radiator valves. I had no idea they were a thing! I had a lot of excruciatingly dull conversations about them.

I usually choose something that has tickled me in a thread.

I've seen at least 2 other versions of my current name.

It's from a recent thread where the OP referred to her partner as "a bit Jacqueline High". It eventually transpired that she meant "a bit Jekyll and Hyde"(but it wasn't a typo!).

Made me laugh

I picked my username after my favourite character on the BBC show 'Gladiators.'

Sabre!

My DH loves Arctic Monkeys so I lazily just switched to pandas because they're so cute.

This one was funny. I have never even heard about radiator valves before but that's a rabbit hole I won't go down😅

Mines because of my son's name 😈

Character from Jane Austen’s Sense & Sensibility

A quote from Mr Bennet in Pride and Prejudice...also used to successfully diffuse arguments between my squabbling children ("oh dear, sounds a hopeless business ".)
Shows you had heard their complaint but weren't going to get involved! I'd recommend...

I'll give you three guesses.....

No idea where I plucked 1970 from, it has no sentimental meaning.

Changed when I was diagnosed with cancer as it describes how I've found the process of diagnosis and treatment.

My name is laura

When I joined a million years ago I wanted to be Granny Weatherwax - from Terry Pratchetts books- but it had been taken and so had many of my other Discworld choices. But I’ve been CMOTDibbler ever since

Something my mum used to say, either when she'd left the room and returned, or in exasperation if she didn't like what you were saying. I say it myself now. 🙊

Because i hate having responsibility.
I dont have any now only for me.

I've had this one from the start and have recently reverted to it. She was a real person and I like the sentiment very much. I'm not particularly deep minded though.

I chose this name when my children were in primary school.

DGD’s name for me when she was much younger - translates as “ little grandmother “.
I should say I’m English,and at least an inch taller than my son-in-law’s Mum, who is Greek and known as YiaYia .
Though I’m more often “Grandma” these days.
