Can we have a topic where name changing is not allowed?

Lots of people feel the 'atmosphere' has been somewhat lost, due to MN becoming so big and so many people name changing for dubious reasons.

So how about a new topic where name changing is not allowed?

So to post in that section, you choose a different name (much like in Mumsnet local). But you have to stick to that name only.

That way, in that section at least, there would be less arses/goady fuckers/Billy bullshitters and drama llamas, hiding behind name changes.

People will become 'regulars' again (in that section at least) and when you go there to chat, you'll at least 'recognise' other people.

OK I'm sure there are 1 million reasons why this is a stupid idea/impossible to set up, but can anyone think of them? Grin

Pernod and black for us magimedi - cos we were suffisticated.

Until the night I had a glassful knocked over my best black trousers and woke up with a) a hangover and b) what looked like the most impressive bruise in the world.

MaccyD breakfast in a wrap? Sacrilege.

Only Double Sausage & Egg McMuffin meal deals are allowed.

RustyBear, was it the library at the bottom of the hill in the Town? Zombie worked in the Village at that time.

Many, many years ago (think early 1970's) I lived above a 24hr KFC.

Guess what I haven't eaten for about 40+ years?

Off to be dwith my book + cold.

This is a lovely thread - thank you all for such fun, serious discussion & randomness. Just what I want a general chat forum like Mn to be.

Flowers & Wine & [gaviscon] !

Fat and scrapings from the fryer (or frying pan / roasting tin) thickend with flour to make a roux then diluted with potato / vegetable water is the only way to make gravy.

Fuckers. Grin

I'm hungry now, I'm going to dream about chicken.

MrsVamos · 29/12/2015 22:20

Yes, but now I know what's in it. Bleurgh !

Christinayangstwistedsista · 29/12/2015 22:21

Strangely it's the thought of David Beckham that turns my stomach more than the thought of five day old chicken bits

MrsVamos · 29/12/2015 22:23

Anyway, I'm taking the tween and teen shopping tomorrow and I need to gather strength to prepare.

Thanks for this thread, Worra hope it continues and HQ allow us a little place to natter.

Hopefully it will continue and I'll see you all soon.

Night night. xxx

David Beckham.

Can we have a topic where name changing is not allowed?
coffeeisnectar · 29/12/2015 22:24

Been here for nearly a year and like my name and don't want to change it.

I think a topic where you CAN name change called sensitive stuff or something leaving the rest of the site with you using your regular name may be easier.

Ha! Looks like Tom Cruise😉

TheCrowFromBelow · 29/12/2015 22:26

Id be up for no name changing as well.
Im a fairly infrequent poster but I like cress. I'm watching Star Wars: Attack of the Clones. It makes David Beckham's waxwork look Oscar worthy.
Mmm proper gravy.

SconeInSixtySeconds · 29/12/2015 22:26

I think that looks like David Coulthard on a dark and stormy night...

Do you think Rylan ticked 'Toilet Bowl White' when he was choosing the colour of his new choppers?

WorraLiberty · 29/12/2015 22:28

Night MrsVamos Thanks

It's wrong that 5 day old chicken bits don't put me off isn't it? Fuck it.

StillStayingClassySanDiego · 29/12/2015 22:29

I like Rylan, imagine a night out with him, he'd be hilarious 🍸🍸🍸
