Poster says a name, next post describes what they picture when they hear this name.

Looks, personality, age etc. Please don't be offended. I love it when my name comes up hilarious. 🤣

Martine is a 44 year old administrator in an insurance firm. She's naturally very slim, with brown hair cut in a long bob. Her best feature is her long, well-shaped legs which she likes to show off in dark tights. She's in a long-term relationship with Steven, also 44, but they don't live together. She gets on well with Steven's 14 year old daughter, Emily. Martine is a very cool person who rarely gets over-excited or emotional. In her spare time, she enjoys reading and cooking, and she plays Wing Defence in a local netball team.

Isaac is a physics PhD student at Cambridge. He’s tall, dark and classically handsome with a great sense of humour. Despite all this, Isaac is surprisingly unassuming and slightly baffled at his fabulous attributes. He has a long term boyfriend, Leon who’s also at Cambridge and an integral member of Footlights. The future looks golden for this lovely couple.

See Roger for ‘Jeremy’ and ‘Neil’ 😀

Neil is 68 and a retired GP. He's a widower. For 40 years he was in a loveless marriage with Hannah. They stayed together for the sake of their two children, Robert and Nicola, and then latterly because Hannah was ill and Neil felt duty-bound to stay with her. After her death, Neil found a new lease of life and started dressing more flamboyantly - he now favours tweeds and velvet smoking jacket, and he's grown his still-thick but faded hair into a long, floppy style. He's now blissfully happy living in a Victorian mansion flat full of cats, antiques and artwork, with his new husband Thomas, a 59 year old orthodontist. They spend their free time antique hunting, trying out expensive restaurants, going to jazz and classical concerts and watching trendy plays.

Josie is 50. She is twice divorced and now lives with her cats in her cottage. She has a lovely garden and swaps plants with th women down at the WI.
Josie is very good at baking and will often take a cake round-up her elderly neighbour.
Her daughter is about to have her third child and Josie secretly hopes that she doesn't get roped into looking after it too often, like she has with the other two. Josie also disliked her daughter's oartber, but she keeps that to herself.

Abigail is sweet and plump. She has blond hair, in pigtails when she was a child. She has a dimpled smile.

I know an Abigail and this is her, right down to the dimples! Shock

Matthew ‘Matt’ works in Graphic design.
He is 49 and is clinging onto his youth. He has the same group of friends he had at school, a wife 15 years younger than him and a baby son.
He goes out with ‘the lads’ regularly and drinks too much. He’s recently started to drink whiskey and wants to start up his own micro brewery.
His vinyl record collection is extensive and he wears band t-shirts with pride.

Natalie is white, in her early 30s, and a manager in a call centre. After years on the receiving end of pissed off customers, she's thoroughly enjoying the opportunity to boss around the younger staff and bang on about upselling.

She's 5'2 and stocky, with huge boobs that she's always going about. She likes a night out "with the girls", and is a very loyal friend. When she drinks, she has a very loud, cackling laugh.

She lives in a two bed flat with her boyfriend Gavin. They met at work, and have been together for three years, and like Tenerife for their holidays. She's hoping he'll propose this Christmas.

Joanna’s parents were early adherents of ‘The Good Life’. She didn’t like inviting friends round as nobody liked tofu and she was ashamed of the chickens in the kitchen. Her parents also had no sense of humour. She is now in her fifties, never married and is a successful investment banker, with a minimalist flat in East India Dock.
She eats clean, but every now and then has a blow out over the weekend involving cream cakes and copious amounts of chocolate.

Joanna grew up in a country house with a mother more interested in her horses and dogs than her daughter. Now an adult Joanna is married but has no children. She does have a horse and four dogs though. She drinks gin.
