name change

Oh, just when I was planning to be ibaggedthatsunbed.

Is it worth it, I have used my username on other social networks in the past such as the late Saga Zone, which closed due to the amount of abuse made by users and I see another age related over 50`s website is using a 3 strikes and your out, obvious working on similar house rules laid down by the Saga as to behaviour.

Always daps when I was growing up.
As for a name change, amerebagatelle seems appropriate at the moment.

Like Agus we had sandshoes (usually white) and gym shoes (always black) until our village had an influx of mining families from Lanarkshire who called both sorts 'gutties'.
BTW I just pop sandshoes and trainers in the washing machine at 40 degrees and they come out like new - I thought everyone did that nowadays?
The only names that seem appropriate for me are baglady and binbags so I think I will just stick to what I have got now

DH loved your poem, Phoenix. Not sure if it was the Yorkshire landlady he related to or the sweaty feet.

Thanks Ana, I'll have a look for the Cherry Blossom.

As I'm a pussycat at heart. I'll be Bagpuss.

merlot in my book you win, because you got all of the names for the footwear in! Well done!

PS Glad I didn't have explain the "suppurating men" thing!

Alieoxon Yes.

I spelt it wrong anyway

(A bit late - can I be a baguette?)

No. Not that Orla. The other one.

Is she that war correspondent?

Haven't noticed her handbag though

Though I don't think you're allowed to have a shouty name...

Just join again, jingl - you've done it many times before...

I have had an email. They don't encourage name changing. Apparently.

I WANNA BE ORLAKIERLYHANDBAGS.

It's not fair.

And they could cut me off any minute.

Don't miss me too much when I'm gone. sniff

Phoenix - you don't understand. I had this idea. I think I de registered but it seems I am still here.

I wanna change my name!!! Howl !!!!

How do you do it? I've forgotten!

Thatbags - you from E.Yorkshire too? When we moved to W,Yorks I had to learn pumps for sand shoes and petticoat for underskirt

Shouldn't be hard to find, Argus - I know Cherry Blossom do a tennis shoe whitener which is widely available.

Here gym shoes were for gym in school. Any other time, they were sandshoes.

I buy a new pair of sandshoes every summer but I am finding it more difficult to find canvas sandshoe whitener.

Brilliant,phoenix and merlot!

On another note, some names seem to be coming back and others which I thought would never come back again are creeping in.

Apparently Gertrude has disappeared, as has Norman, although names like Lily, Ruby and Emily are still popular.
I am surprised to hear that there is an Ethel.

Some names seem to have survived in their dimunitive forms, eg Connie, Freddie, Harry, Tilly - and Rosie for Rose.
