I only just got jpEgg. I was looking at it for ages thinking "what's funny about that?" Blush

omniscrambles · 12/04/2011 21:22

Ooh that's rather exciting. I have spent half an hour logging on in a very dark tent on a crappy phone to vote for myself. Mme lindt's is very good though.

poppy1973 · 13/04/2011 06:49

I voted for my favourite, a bit disappointed by the names to vote on, they weren't very Eastery !!

PureBloodMuggle · 13/04/2011 11:06

I'm very very thick and don't understand why there is stuff in brackets.

Please someone explain.

nickelbaalamb · 13/04/2011 11:14

on the poll?
the words in brackets are the posters' normal names.

PureBloodMuggle · 13/04/2011 11:30

Yes in the poll

It didn't help my thickness that they were similar the namechanges!!!!

Thanks

jpEgg · 13/04/2011 12:27

Oh noooo, I'm not going to win Sad

I haven't had any chocolate for the whole of lent, pleeeeaaase feel sorry for me and vote for jpEgg [pleading emoticon]

NotShortImHotCrossBunSized · 13/04/2011 12:43

Not very Eastery?! Hot cross buns are very Eastery Wink

BecauseImWoeufIt · 13/04/2011 12:59

And I think you'll find that without oeufs, it would be decidedly unEastery!

nickelbaalamb · 13/04/2011 13:02

Hot Cross Buns are also disgusting, and I'm convinced they're the work of the devil. [boak]

Sorry funsized.

PoledrathePissedOffFairy · 13/04/2011 13:35

Where the hell is Psalmmead on that list?? I want to vote for her namechange Angry

MmeSurvivedLent · 13/04/2011 13:38

Hot Cross Buns are Easter-y. And Lent is too.

The rest are more egg-related but still connected to Easter.

nickelbaalamb · 13/04/2011 13:40

aw, Poledra thanks! I gave her that name Grin

Itsjustafleshwound · 13/04/2011 13:40

I am just curious hoe the voting is going to go?? Is it AV or FPTP?

VinegarTits · 13/04/2011 13:42

Why are we having this now! Easter is not till the week after next, i havent even chosen my easter name yet! talk about premature, does the oddles of choc have a sell by date thats about to run out? Hmm

OeufaBrain · 13/04/2011 14:00

Wow!. Thanks for shortlisting me. I don't expect to win as i know it is fundamentally a popularity contest....and I am a recent namechanger!
But it's good to know people realise there's nothing like a good pun (and, man, this is nothing like a good pun...:D)

halfcaffordableLidlEasterEggs · 13/04/2011 15:42

I am miffed this has closed so soon. I had spent sleepless nights thinking up a decent name then find I am too late! The hols only started this week!

EggyFucker · 13/04/2011 16:16

some of us haven't even started easter hols yet

RebeccaMumsnet · 13/04/2011 16:50

Hi all,
The reason that this thread is fairly early is so that the winner will get all of the lovely chocolate in time for Easter, as long as they send their details over to us quickly... keep voting if you haven't already.
Voting closes at midnight on Friday 15 April.

MNHQ

MaundyBra · 13/04/2011 16:59

"i know it is fundamentally a popularity contest...."

I definitely voted according to which one made me Smile the most. Yours was good Oeufa but jpegg made me physically laugh.

MmeSurvivedLent · 13/04/2011 17:21

I voted for jpegg, even though I don't know the poster so don't think it is a popularity contest.

I was torn between jpegg and BIWI, tbh, but thought that BIWI would get more votes as she is better known.

OeufaBrain · 13/04/2011 17:26

exactly Mme Lindt, you have just admittrd that many people will vote for the one who is most well-known. Because she is better known. I voted for jpegg too, FWIW Grin BIWI, yours is very clever but aren't you called that EVERY Easter?

MmeSurvivedLent · 13/04/2011 17:29

:o Oefabrain
I know. But I suspect a lot of people like me will vote for those less well known for that reason too.

At the end of the day, I live in Switzerland so have lots of choc anyway. :o

OeufaBrain · 13/04/2011 17:32

oh hell, I sound crochety and churlish, don't I? and I actually was not being entirely serious in my above post.
I bet it's Nestle chocolate, anyway.... Grin Wink I'm more of a Divine choc girl.

MmeSurvivedLent · 13/04/2011 17:34

God, no. MN wouldn't dare offer Nestle choc as a prize. Could you imagine the explosion that would cause. It is Ameliechocolat - never heard of them before, but the website looks lovely.
