burley you should - with the nickname Panda it's great. Sounds weird but try writing it down, a lovely shortening.

wildpoppy · 22/09/2012 20:40

Bike - I thought that too - but I love, love, love the Adrian Mole books so it wouldn't put me off if I particularly liked the name Grin.

Lozario · 22/09/2012 22:30

Bike and Just - yes! "Pandora! I adore ya. I implore ye, don't ignore me."

Is it very sad that this is the only poem I can recite from memory?!
