Breadline Brenda. Uses her teabags at least twice.

stressteddy · 20/07/2007 23:17

Brenda always buys her tea bags when they are on a two for one offer
Brenda will not ever pay for digital tv - she is waitng for the Government to have to buy it for her (she can't believe they can just switch it off without providing an alternative)

stressteddy · 20/07/2007 23:18

kenneth lives next door to Brenda. he has lots of carrier bags in his drawers

Troy is lovely - he just doesn't have any depth or huge requirements from life.

Tory on the other hand - well she'll never be satisfied. It started with wanting a pony, but that one wan't pretty enough for showing, then she wanted an eventer but daddy couldn't afford, well, the best you know. Then she found out that the guy she was shaggin wasn't quite what he seemed to be at first glance (Miles maybe?) and so it goes on... Now tory is 43 and getting a teeny bit desperate. Still goes to old school reunions, still hoping, but let's face it her best fun is had from shagging the local Master of the Fox Hounds while his wife is staying at her mother as she's broken a hip and needs a hand right now.

Please can we have a rule

If you refer back to people more than 24 hours ago you have to give their post date

I am so confused and I can't find Bev and I put her in this mess!

LongDeadMotherofHarryP · 20/07/2007 23:59

Ah but remember there is more than one Bev in RL and so it can be on MN. We've had several versions of Barry and Phillipa (displeased at wrong spelling of Philippa here BTW)

I just shows that Beve can have mulitple manifestations, as can Barry. In fact, maybe they are all made for each other - a sort of Bazza/Bevva fest?

Joyce is on a bit of a high.

When Alistair left her for the trollope from the office she was, well, shattered. There is no other way to put it. There she was cooking and ironing his shirts for the last 20 odd years and then he trades her in for a younger model. And it wasn't as though she had let herself go - what with the pilates and swimming. Alistair was always one of those "tea on table and slippers in front of the fire" types.

Well after the initial devestation Joyce began to find that life on her own was not quite as bad as she feared. Alistair wanted a quick no fuss divorce and as a result she managed to take him to the cleaners and come out of the marriage in quite good shape.

When it was apparent that no children were to come from the marriage Joyce got herself, what Alistair always termed "a little job". It was at the local garden centre - working on the tills and customer services but only when it was very busy. Her boss however, sensing the need for purpose in Joyce's life offered her more house and now she has a full time job as Head of Conifers. She has never been happier.

Kenneth likes feeding the birds. The avian type.

The other type scare him shitless

LongDeadMotherofHarryP · 21/07/2007 00:03

V funny about trollope - could that be seen as litigious?

Arabica · 21/07/2007 00:49

Sara lives in Kingston. She edits a weekly women's magazine, the kind with soap stars on the cover. She won't see 50 again, yet still wears tight trousers from Top Shop. She promoted Gavin to Assistant Editor (Features) simply because he's male and heterosexual. All her female staff hate her guts. Her daughter Anastasia has anorexia, her son Toby has dyslexia, and Charlie the Jack Russell is incontinent.

Genevieve is a dog
Laura is beautiful and silent
Louisa is a china doll

It is said that some people grow to look like their pets - especially horses and dogs.

Warren works in pest control. He has mousey hair, gelled, and small features. He also has a twitch. All his girlfriends are at least 5" taller than him.

Jayne is pregnant again. Her long suffering husband Kevin isn't sure how it happened because he can't making love to her since last New Years Eve after she'd got squiffy on Lambrini. But Jayne is very In Control of Everything including her own fertility and way able to tell Kevin that they conceived on Tuesday 12th June, 2 days post mid-cycle and why doesn't he remember?

(Jane knows she is probably pregnant by Roger, the husband of one of her friends, who she sometimes has sex with because he appeals to her more than Kevin does. Roger has nasal polyps and doesn't notice the smell. Kevin is so accustomed to it that he doesn't notice it either.)

Jayne's sister, Geraldine, the light-fingered office cleaner, who has been single for 14 months, has started to see her brother-in-law Kevin in a new light. Jaybe once told her, when they were first together, that he was well hung and she has found herself thinking about this a lot as she empties waste paper baskets and mops the gents.

Geniveve has long wavy hair, and a love of long flowing skirts. Her father lives in Mongolia at the moment, but has been posted all over the world. Her mother in Paris. She went to boarding school in Enland, and during her teen years felt as though she had no real home, as she only saw her mother when they were in skiing or in Nice. That is why her garden flat is so important to her. At the moment she works in publishing, but would love to set up her own organic clinic providing aromatherapy/reflexology/reiki/hypnotherapy.

tigermoth · 21/07/2007 15:06

ha ha! Two of you have got my name down here, both with a different profile, but some of it is sort of right.

If your name is Trudy you work with animals. You have a pet labrador and loved Blue Peter as a child. You save up your salary to go to West End musicals. You have lovely thick hair and are actually quite attractive in an outdoors-y ungroomed sort of way.

DangerousBeans · 21/07/2007 15:30

Debbii is a barrister.

She refers to herself as 'Deborah'.

But her birth certificate says Debbii.

Debii and her parents do not see eye to eye.

Reg was married to Doris. Doris died suddenly after a routine operation for piles went horribly wrong. Reg told everyone he was everso upset because he'd just had a new three piece delivered and Madge never got to see it.

Reg is being consoled by Deirdre who works in the paper shop, smokes 40 a day and has a penchant for purple cardies and bright pink lippy.

MrsSchadenfreude · 21/07/2007 15:40

Where did Madge come from?! Doris!

MrsSchadenfreude · 21/07/2007 15:42

Madge is Deirdre's rather sour older sister, who has been married to Roy since forever and is very disapproving of Deirdre's new love.

Roy sits in front of the telly every night picking his feet, eating crisps and pickled onions and drinking special brew.

Dino is Chester and Tophers chocolate Labrador puppy. He's named after a waiter who served them when they went to Rome for the weekend.

He's pissed on the white sofa 3 times, detroyed the Bose sound sytem, and done something unspeakable to the cashmere throw Chester bought Topher last Christmas.

Michael didn't go to Chester and Tophers party, as he wans't feeling to well, and it was decided Dino sould spend the night with Michael.

Dh is home!

moodlumthehoodlum · 21/07/2007 17:28

Aah they got a dog. How lovely. And Dino. Great name.
