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

Yes please I'm in.
I've grown rocket & cress but my watercress failed. Is that enough to pass?

OddSocksHighHeels · 29/12/2015 18:47

You're doing better than me. I've never grown anything.

SconeForAStroll · 29/12/2015 18:51

Honestly, real life forces me to interact with it, and a force of reasonableness is mustered.

'Snot fair. I wanna be a part of reasonable friendly posting.

I can tell the difference between watercress, cress and chard and don't even know what half those flaming emoji things are even meant to mean.

Ooh, can we reinstate use of the creepy wee brackets again? I love those little fuckers.

Do you think scottishmummy is in chokey for fraud? She was always telling us to trust nae fucker after all. Grin

Happy New Year, Worra. Smile

I've grown cress in eggs. It helps if you remove the egg first.

Things have not gone into a time warp & it's already Wimbledon 2016?

MrsVamos · 29/12/2015 19:06

MrsVamos · 29/12/2015 19:07

Apparently I can no longer spell either. Blush

MrsVamos · 29/12/2015 19:09

Hullo, magi lovely.

Unfortunately not. Erm, I think you'll find 2 GS's come before Wimby, no ?!

Missed you.

LumelaMme · 29/12/2015 19:09

No fucking sprouts. Watercress, mustard'n'cress, rocket, chervil, dill, even cabbage on this proposed thread. Just NO sprouts.

I do agree about the bar, though

When I NCed, I wanted to Margaux, but some other bugger had nicked it. Have I ever seen her on the boards? Have I hell.

magimedi · 29/12/2015 19:09

Yes - eagerly awaiting Aus Open.

The balls should be white, for Snowballs. Grin

Urgh, Worra. Grin

I love Snowballs I do.

Question. Are tennis balls yellow or green ?

LumelaMme · 29/12/2015 19:24
OddSocksHighHeels · 29/12/2015 19:27

Tennis balls are green. A yellowish green.

TheChippendenSpook I have had TheSpook for a while. Part of my espionage theme. Sorry.

MrsVamos · 29/12/2015 19:29

Thanks, Odd. Very helpful. Grin

I say more yellow than green.

OddSocksHighHeels · 29/12/2015 19:30

Hmm, we need more people to settle this then Grin
