You could have had Cod, GDG, Dinosaur, jimjams and/or LadyTophamHatt to name but a few

  1. Who was recently dubbed "The Irvine Welsh of Mumsnet"?

Custardo, by expat. I was pmsl for days at that one.

Misdee and Sparklymieow (not me )
Spidermama and EricBlack
Xena and Toomanypushchairs
WWW and ragtaggle

Whoops good point Rickman - erm, one point for each part of a multiple answer - eg question one you could get a max of three points for, etc. So the maximum score would be 32.
