Hi everyone, I used to be silverfish. I tried agreeing with silverfish but no one guessed it was me so for now I will be Ethel.
Hope you still all love me lol

Was the "I agree with Silverfish" post a kind of test run to see your two usernames together? I can see how that would make you smile.

Ana Thu 07-Aug-14 10:37:59

Ethel says in her OP why she agreed with Silverfish.

jinglbellsfrocks Thu 07-Aug-14 10:42:01

I don't understand why she can be ethelbags1 but I'm not allowed to be orlakielyhandbags!

It's not bloomin' fair. <<stamps foot and goes off in a huff>>

Nonu Thu 07-Aug-14 10:47:35

Well just to let you know I agree with everything NONU posts!

Why did silverfish 'get locked out'? And why would you need or want to post under more than one name, from more than one address, unless you are playing games?

Lona Thu 07-Aug-14 11:24:14

Nonu grin

Nonu Thu 07-Aug-14 11:28:52

I also agree with EVERYTHING LONA posts !
grin

Lona Thu 07-Aug-14 11:32:10

Well that's not much then Nonu! wink

Elegran Thu 07-Aug-14 12:08:53

Maybe you have used up your nine lives, Jings ?

Nonnie Thu 07-Aug-14 13:55:22

Been away from Gn for a couple of days and now I come back I can see that I started something to get memories going. While on this tack and completely off subject I was thinking this morning that young women today don't know how lucky they are. They don't have to sleep in big plastic rollers, don't have to sugar their petticoats and don't even have to teach their children to tie shoe laces. grin

Kiora Thu 07-Aug-14 18:18:59

I have no idea what this is all about! Im probably a bit dimblush oh well as my mother would say "ignorance is bliss"

jinglbellsfrocks Thu 07-Aug-14 18:24:10

Could be that Elegran. Of course, no way could it be that the Mighty Ones have completely lost any semblance of a sense of humour they might have once possessed.

I want to change my name (how about BagLady?) but despite trying, I've never managed it. It's easy on Mumsnet, apparently impossible here.
How did you do it op?

jinglbellsfrocks Thu 07-Aug-14 19:38:22

They have changed it. You could just decided-register, with the option of joining again. And you had to use a different forum name.

Now, it just says, "if you leave, that's it". (words to that effect)

jinglbellsfrocks Thu 07-Aug-14 19:39:09

Unless that's a special version for me! shock

Ana Thu 07-Aug-14 19:41:17

merlotgran Thu 07-Aug-14 19:44:43

Has jinglbellsfrocks broken the record for your username's length of service, jingl?

GrannyTwice Thu 07-Aug-14 20:08:04

Well I think it's really unfair that MN are treated so much more favourably . Do you mean jingle that if you leave now you can't come back? HQ - can you explain ?

Marmight Thu 07-Aug-14 20:44:07

Well, I recently changed my name from Gally to Marmight and matron was not too overjoyed to do it. I had thought in the past it was easy peasy to just ask to change the name rather than resign and start all over again, thus losing 3 years worth of photos/PM's. However, she relented, sort of....... I think we should kick up a stink - a mass sit down outside Gransnet Towers and demand that we be heard winkwink after all we are so used to Jingle metamorphosing into her next character and it wouldn't be the same if she couldn't change into her next persona would it?

Ana Thu 07-Aug-14 20:47:02

Quite. Are they actually trying to wind-down GN for financial reasons unknown to us? hmm

pergola Thu 07-Aug-14 21:02:04

How about eyebags. Fun thinking up names grin

Anne58 Thu 07-Aug-14 21:06:35

This is actually qet ofuite worrying, and seems to indicate a whole new
set of policies from HQ

PS Hope this come out alright, Sprout has decided to help confused

I can keep him off the keyboard, but his tail has a life of it's own!

rosequartz Thu 07-Aug-14 21:06:42

eyebags is good.

perhaps I will be checkinbags (makes me think of travelling) smile

Any volunteers to be toolbags?

Anne58 Thu 07-Aug-14 21:08:30

Bugger, he's just knocked the phone off it's stand and somehow managed to call someone, hope it's not the CPL

Stansgran Thu 07-Aug-14 21:11:26

I fancy being the Maharanee of Bagpur. Might put a little glamour into my life.
