Why are we allowed to namechange? And it has just been made easier to do so within the thread

Just out of interest really.

You can't do it on other sites can you?

I know people like to change for privacy reasons but it just cause misery with people name changing to cause shit.

And the new button down there V makes it possible for someone to really easily sock puppet. I don't see the point in it really.

You have not allowed name changing in the mumsnet local site, however you do still permit users to namechange on request. I wondered if there were plans to introduce that here or if it would cause outrage (who am I kidding, if course it will). Grin

What strength co-codamol though?

CuntyCuntastico123 · 26/09/2013 23:02

Oh Jesus Christ why am I still called cunty cuntastico. I namechanged back to Gavrorf.

That will fucking teach me.

Don't you look at me, Rowan.

I hate cocodamol. It makes me feel so spaced out and nauseous - I think I almost prefer the pain (hence having so much of it left over after a vicious tooth abscess). But it looks like its value is low - it could be cheap wine?

Poledra · 26/09/2013 23:03

Ahh, I hear you MaryZ - I take loads of Feminax out to my sister on the Continent when we go to visit.

BelleOfTheBorstal · 26/09/2013 23:03

Tylenol pm is paracatemol and diphendrydamine. Fentanyl is like morphine but better.

Oh Belle I don't know the strength, and they're locked away on the drugs box upstairs and one of the cats is lying on my feet, and it's the fluffy cat and my feet are so waaaarrrmmmm and......

Poledra · 26/09/2013 23:10

Did ya know you can get fentanyl lollipops?

BelleOfTheBorstal · 26/09/2013 23:11

Feminax was just branded co-cocodamol. Nothing special, 250mg paracetamol and 8 mg codeine.

BelleOfTheBorstal · 26/09/2013 23:14

Yes I did. Would love.
Co-codamol only worth wine on prescription strengths!

I have dyhydrocodiene and tramadol. Willimg to swap for anything that is much more fun useful.

BelleOfTheBorstal · 26/09/2013 23:25

They withdrew the original type in 2010 but there is no reason why the boots own co-codamol wouldn't work in a similar manner.
As for stuff which is more fun useful, don't think I can help there.

ChippingInNeedsSleepAndCoffee · 26/09/2013 23:28

Maryz if they sell (in the UK) what your DD needs I'll happily send it to you.

Tee2072 · 27/09/2013 06:50

Cunty co-codamol doesn't have caffeine, you're thinking if something else. Co-codamol is paracetamol and codeine.

FellatioNelson · 27/09/2013 07:05

I have nothing to bring to the table but Senokot.

And maybe a sachet of Gavison.

I am a rubbish drug dealer. Sad

wem · 27/09/2013 07:56

Did someone say pethidine? I have pethidine. Been meaning to take it back to the pharmacy for about five years now...

BrightSunshineyDay · 27/09/2013 08:05

Completely pointlesss contribution have no drugs to swap apart from teething granules - but I have just switched to the mobile site on my laptop. Much prefer it, though it is a lot wider isn't it?

BrightSunshineyDay · 27/09/2013 08:06

Oh and the bookmark facility is better. On the desktop I spend seconds hours searching for the damn thing!

HeartsTrumpDiamonds · 27/09/2013 14:26

I have some....

Vicodin
Diazepam
Ativan (lorazepam)
Paracetamol with codeine
Some other stuff that you shouldn't take unless you are epileptic or bipolar (sodium valproate and quetiapine)

And for the truly committed, some haloperidol.

Also copious amounts of alcohol for self-medication.

So, boringly back to the thread for a minute... If I send a PM to someone who has NC'd will they receive it if they have changed back? If they reply, what name will the PM come from? What if I have NC's in the meantime?

First attempt at NC to see how it works

Yep, didn't work for me either. Just says I don't own the user name. Definitely picked something no one else would have chosen. So how do you do it?

BrightSunshineyDay · 27/09/2013 15:10

DropYourSword I think it has to be a name that you have already nabbed? Hope that makes sense.

Hearts I'm pretty sure yes they will still receive your message and when they reply the message will be from the name they have nc too. Hope that makes sense also.

Not good at explaining sorry
