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.

Roger

SunShinesBrightly · 19/11/2021 07:07

Issac is 22 and plays in a band with his course buddies (music tech - Sheffield Uni).
He has thick wavy hair which flops over his eyes and is slightly pale & very thin.

Too slow!
I’ll do Roger.
Roger is 53, divorced and drives a sporty midlife crisis performance car. He dates women only in their 20s.

See Roger for ‘Jeremy’ and ‘Neil’ 😀

ArblemarchTFruitbat · 19/11/2021 07:14

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.

Matthew.

@BiscuitLover09876

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

Lysander

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

WinterCarlisle · 19/11/2021 07:38

Matthew has pale sandy hair, pale blue eyes and works as a planning officer in Hemel Hempstead.

He is instantly forgettable.

Natalie

SunShinesBrightly · 19/11/2021 07:41

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.

SunShinesBrightly · 19/11/2021 07:44

Natalie is married to Matthew.
She is unhappy and is slowly realising she has married a complete tool.
She is overwhelmed with motherhood.

Bruce

Lucyinthesky07 · 19/11/2021 07:47

Bruce is in his 60s. A family man who dotes on his grandchildren. He has thick grey hair and goes to all the football matches.

I'm taking a personal chance with this one but

Kai

GreeboIsMySpiritAnimal · 19/11/2021 07:49

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.

Joshua.

Oops, cross-posted!

SunShinesBrightly · 19/11/2021 07:50

Kai is 12.
His parents have spoilt him with material possessions and deprived him of attention.
He is confused, often angry and his wealthy parents are paying for therapy.

Well, you were almost right on the age but nothing else.

I missed the bit about taking a personal chance! Sorry! I definitely wasn’t responding to that!

SunShinesBrightly · 19/11/2021 07:58

Who is going to describe ‘Joanna’?!

Manzana · 19/11/2021 08:08

Joanna is a vet, extrovert, caring has several rescue cats and a dog, cycles to work, in a LTR and likes tropical holidays

Graham

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.

Magissa · 19/11/2021 08:11

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.
