Tardis

Reverse the polarity of the neutron flow, straighten your bow tie and offer round those jelly babies... it's the first ever Dr Who name change competition.

Once you've done your brilliant Whovian namechange, post on this thread saying what your old name used to be.

On Saturday we'll create a poll of the best ones, and you lovely folk can vote for your favourite. We'll close it at some point . The winner will receive some sort of tat prize, not necessarily Who themed, but lovingly selected and possibly kissed by MNHQ.

and there will be no cock ups where Kate forgets how many winners there are supposed to be like last time

All this C-word chat is worrying me a bit.

Maryz, you missed it. The Christmas smiles code was sussed and usual was going to torture you with Christmas smiles but Rebecca turned them off.

There's a thread somewhere with Rebecca denying she's scared of you!

MaryZygon · 23/11/2013 19:02

I know, I saw her thread.

Thankfully I didn't see it when it was happening [whew], I might have had to flounce.

TEEARDIS · 23/11/2013 19:23

I think Rebecca denying she is afraid of you is something you should announce all over MN! Grin

CecyWeepingAngHall · 23/11/2013 20:45

I'm well chuffed to be in the poll even if I'm not winning it's made my day!

MaryZygon · 23/11/2013 21:17

You mean I should start a "AIBU to be rather chuffed that Rebecca is, in fact, despite her denials, afraid of me?"

Grin
MaryZygon · 23/11/2013 21:18

I like your name Cecy. Sorry, I almost voted for you, but I'm a big fan of Russ T Davies so had to go for Rusty.

Tee2072 · 23/11/2013 21:52

Yes, yes you should MaryZ!

And did you know your name change was so accurate?

MaryZygon · 23/11/2013 22:03

I was chuffed to see all the Zygons tonight Grin. But I can't take the credit - DoctorDonna came up with it.

Boetunesgirl · 24/11/2013 00:22

Ooh I made the shortlist! I don't even care if I win now. Grin Tardis

Areyoumymummysnet · 24/11/2013 23:08

oh my blinking g! I was on the list. I was out so couldn't vote but didn't check as I didn't think I'd stand a chance cos there were lots better than me. im going to have a belated .Grin Grin Grin Grin Grin Grin Tardis

Tee2072 · 25/11/2013 10:01

So did BlinkQuenelle win? What did she win? Is there going to be an awards ceremony?

I am sad Tardis is gone.

BlinkQuenelle · 25/11/2013 12:32

How will we know when it's over?

It's been so close I've been watching from behind the sofa all weekend.

IamtheZombie · 25/11/2013 13:35

Zombie is sure that HQ will announce on here when the voting closes and who the winner is.

Tee2072 · 25/11/2013 17:37

I dunno...Kate has form for forgetting...

What was that Tee? Grin

MNHQ are never late, nor are they early, they arrive precisely when they mean to.

HUGE round of applause for all who entered, you've done the Doctor proud.

In first place, by a Catkind nun's whisker, is RussTDavisBear! Congrats, we'll be PMing you momentarily.

What's that?

Oh yes, better get your Father Christmas thinking hats on for the next round.... [tchgrin]

Congratulations RussT Flowers

Thanks to everyone who voted for me.

RussTDaviesBear · 26/11/2013 12:35

Thank you Quenelle, it was close, wasn't it!

And thanks MNHQ and everyone who voted!

Have replied to your pm Kate

OhYouBadBadKitten · 26/11/2013 12:37

But what did she win? was it a working K9 or a visit from Tom Baker? Enquiring minds want to know!

Congrats Rusty :)

GreenShadowInTheLibrary · 26/11/2013 17:22

Many congratulations RussTDavisBear. I thought you deserved to win.

Was lovely to be involved in a name change competition for the first time.

RussTDaviesBear · 26/11/2013 17:37

Thank you greenshadow - I loved your name too.

I don't know what I've won yet, OYBBK, the pm didn't say, just asked for a delivery address. I imagine MNHQ are rootling around in the spare prize cupboard right now, trying to find something.....

Areyoumymummysnet · 26/11/2013 22:43

Well done Rusty and everyone else-so clever and witty. I thought of my Christmas one at 3 this morning and promptly forgot itAngry Blush Thanks

NormanTheCyberman · 26/11/2013 23:22

Congrats, RussT! And just so that you know, you, GreenShadow and I (or maybe SoMuch) all share a town in common... Wink

RussTDaviesBear · 02/12/2013 11:00

Prize update: a very nice Boden purse arrived at work today! with a little handwritten note... Did you draw the TARDIS Kate?

Thank you Flowers
