My mistake, the request came from @Myfluffyblanket who now has a visitor...

I don't know whether to swoon or start to feel an awful lot better ...

😂Do what you gotta do.

Mmmmmm...yes .

Proof that I'm old- I'd much rather have a cuddly quokka than a French man.

We're in 'condoms stuffed with walnuts' territory again, but I'm sure the walnuts are the finest noix du Périgord, Appellation d’origine protégée😄

I went to a French city decades ago. It might have been Bordeaux. I can't really remember. It had a building with half a car hanging out of the 2nd or 3rd storey. I think it was art, but it might have been an accident.

Aren't marathon runners usually a bit stringier rangier than that?

I'd love to but I'd have been a bit rude asking some blokes to pose for me whilst I took photos in front if Mr Donut. But oh my there were some very...ahem...well. anyway.

To do any races in France you need a doctors sign off. So they do all have actual literal certificates saying they are fit.

It's 2.20 a.m. and I'm awake, yet again.

Still, it's an opportunity to make lists and to decide that my Christmas name is OnceInRoy.

Do we have to do Christmas names? I always struggle with the how-to, but wouldn't mind being DeanHollyhasaberry.

Or maybe revert to my old cryptic identity and be DeanVolecape again, seasonally appropriate. Presumably it will be a next thread thing anyway..

I'm not changing my name for Christmas. I'm easily confused.
Technically, I have lost my colourful beak and gone out to sea.

I've dropped him off. Bloody heck.

Anyway back in the Airbnb, with some mash potato from the monoprix round the corner so I can make a cooked breakfast with yesterdays left over baguette and mozzarella before I have a long hot bath in peace and quiet. Well, I can hear some sort of drumming session going on, so nearly peace and quiet.

Do you mean pufflings get a colourful beak before they become fully fledged or are you holding onto your inner child ? How long does it take for a puffling to grow up ? And congratulations on surging the gulls

I won't be changing my name, but if I did, I quite fancy the first three words of the Calypso Carol. Although I wouldn't be at all surprised to find it already taken.

I have already changed my name once, and now identify as a hedgehog, i would get confused given my age.

I'm a special sort of puffling!

Donut don't name change.

I’ve changed my name once this year already (formerly busymummy) and find I get easily confused as to who regular posters are when the names change. Wish @MNHQ would allow us to reclaim previous/first names so we can revert as needed!

Do you mean if we’ve already posted on that thread in a later name?

I NC often but can use any of my previous names at any time apart from then. As we’re only on page 4/10 I’ll have to keep this seasonal one for a while here.

It does stop people posting under several names and arguing or agreeing with themselves, which I think is a good thing.

SeeHimLying? Not taken at the moment (I used Advanced Search to check).

If the Dean's going to be DeanVolecape, can I be ColonelVolestranglerOpenBracketsMrsCloseBrackets? Or possibly ColonelBatGuano or IfThatReallyIsYourName.

I'm disinclined to change my name - waaaaayyyy too complicated, esp if I want to revert to MdeG which took me ages to decide on - but I'm enjoying your clever carol-related names.

If I was going to join in that particular Reindeer Game, I think I might call myself LouLee..
if it's not already taken.

I'm pretty sure can still use any of your previous names, it's just changing within a thread which is barred now, to prevent sockpuppeting.
So you can have a general purpose one plus some you use for specific topics eg sensitive info.

Anyway... I've not bothered with seasonal name changes for ages.

I'm not even remotely tempted by the carol-based ones I can think of at the moment such as AwayInAMan or OnceInRoyalDavid

I love Once in Royal David city as a hymn

If i were to NC it would be Wenceslas as its such a jolly song.
