LetmethroughpleaseIamadoctor · 11/12/2009 20:06

After all, I don't want people on here getting confused and showing me their piles/fanjo boils

And I used to be TurkeyLurkey and I am not actually a Turkey .

So is it ok, or will you lot get confused?

Fine as long as you don't ever offer medical advice without a disclaimer.

SaintNickKnack · 11/12/2009 20:08

well I'm not really old saint nick so I'd say go for it

perhaps avoid the health threads for a while

LetmethroughpleaseIamadoctor · 11/12/2009 20:11

oh yes rarely go on health threads anyway. Well I do to lurk and be nosey.

In that case, I must remember not to talk about catalytic converters and M.O.T.'s. It's gonna be hard.

what kind of topic is this?
attention seeker.

ijustwanttoaskaquestion · 11/12/2009 20:28

You call yourself what you like hun xx

I have a PhD, and when i first got it, i insisted on calling myself Dr, but i got so sick of people assuming i was a medical doctor or a high earning professional, i don't bother anymore - Miss will do fine, it makes me sound younger

why is the OP an attention seeker?

If it helps, my cats nose isn't actually redder than rudolphs.

bibbitybobbitysantahat · 11/12/2009 20:33

Why would you call yourself that name if you aren't a doctor though?

I much prefer a shorter, snappier name. The names that are like mini sentences tend to wash over me tbh.

LetmethroughpleaseIamadoctor · 11/12/2009 20:34

Because i like it

abitpearshaped · 11/12/2009 20:42

I'm not a bit pearshaped; I'm a lot pearshaped.

LetmethroughpleaseIamadoctor · 11/12/2009 20:47

Bugger me I wouldn't care but I rarely start threads.

Supposed to be light hearted idle chit chat.

And I'm keeping my name so there
