Typical.

I FINALLY come up with a very clever I need to get a life name and there's no bloody comp.

Hecate Phosphorus is one of the names of Hecate. It means Light Bringer.

Phosphorus is also a chemical used in...

...fire works.

ok. so I was lying when I said it was very clever, but still...

MacAndCheese · 03/11/2012 16:55

Bugger.

MacAndCatherineWheels

I think it's clever Smile.

Mine would likely be GrrrArghOwww or ArghZzzzBANGGrrr.

Like it.

I wonder if there's no bonfire night interest cos we've just had halloween.

I wonder if bonfire night is destined to be replaced by halloween and one day I'll be a mad cat owning lavender scented lady on a bus collaring groups of kids and saying well, in my day, we used to make a fake person, demand money from strangers for this fake person and then set fire to them while we all crowded round to watch.

I've namechanged. Fireworks night is so much better than Halloween

CatherineMumsnet · 03/11/2012 19:57

Very impressive! We can always make our own comp. The prize will be gin notoriety

Well, I think it's bonfire nightist Grin

official namechange comps for Halloween, Xmas, new year... and nothing for poor old 5th November. Tragic, that's what it is.

Grin

Next year we should ignore Halloween and have bonfire night competition instead and the smilies too

HecatePhosphorus · 04/11/2012 17:35

I agree.

Bonfire night always misses out Grin

I have an excellent bonfire night name. I'm really annoyed that there isn't a competition! Sad

HelenMumsnet · 05/11/2012 15:03

Aw, we're sorry. We'll try to be more on the ball next year...

HecatePhosphorus · 05/11/2012 22:20

Well, it's too late now.

Be off with your sparklers.

I want a big bar of chocolate instead.
