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

Who has?

Reminds me of the time I did some spring cleaning, knocked the phone/alarm/clock radio off.
Next thing we know there is a burly policeman at the front door, apparently someone had dialled 999! DH answered the door but the policeman would not go until he had seen me and ascertained I was OK!

Great service and aplogies blush from me

rosequartz Thu 07-Aug-14 21:12:25

as well as apologies blush

grannytwice Yes. It no longer says you are welcome to join again at a later date.

I agree explanations are needed.

You tell 'em.

jinglbellsfrocks Thu 07-Aug-14 22:30:59

merlot. My name-changing is hugely over-rated. IMHO. <<sniff>> (of the looking down nose kind)

jinglbellsfrocks Thu 07-Aug-14 22:31:50

wink

Ana Thu 07-Aug-14 22:35:48

Well, it's certainly notorious...smile

Galen Thu 07-Aug-14 22:46:12

Eglantine I've reported your post to bring it to gnhq's attention, as if it's true
I HEARTILY DISAGREE WITH THIS POLICY

Can I put it any more strongly?

jinglbellsfrocks Thu 07-Aug-14 22:49:21

You've reported my effing post?!!! shock

Bye then folks. Nice knowing you. hmm

Anne58 Thu 07-Aug-14 22:52:49

Galen two things come to mind, first, do you think that the alleged new policy might be designed to stop some people who have been here on more than one occasion and have ended up showing themselves to be not who they perport to be (naming no names here, and still at a loss as to what they get out of it) and secondly........ who the heck is Eglantine ? confused

jinglbellsfrocks Thu 07-Aug-14 22:53:35

Marmight!!! I did not know you were Gally. shock

Anne58 Thu 07-Aug-14 22:54:04

jingl ! who? what? I'm now completely confuddled confused

jinglbellsfrocks Thu 07-Aug-14 22:56:15

It's 'er name for me Phoenix.

God knows where it came from hmm

merlotgran Thu 07-Aug-14 22:57:20

Why oh Why oh Why so many name changes? confused

Galen Thu 07-Aug-14 22:58:29

Jing stop being f---ing silly.
I'm on your side!

Phoenix you may be right! but this is not the way to go about it.
I might decide to be Imhotep or Aescalaepius instead of Galen.
hmm or even Ducky!

Anne58 Thu 07-Aug-14 22:59:13

What, eglantine is Galens name for you, jingl?

Galen Thu 07-Aug-14 23:00:41

Prickly Rose - Eglantine.
Graceful thing
Tender thing
Something like fairy
How the world loves thee
Little wild rose

Anne58 Thu 07-Aug-14 23:05:51

PS I didn't know that Marmight was Gally either.

I have a headache, no-one cares..............home alone with 2 cats, one as thick as two short planks, the other some sort of feline hooligan.

No wine, no cake, no ice cream, huge mortgage, vast vet bill, bulging stomach, bottom and thighs. Practically no bosoms, wrinkles that are more like ploughed furrows, eyesight so bad I can't pluck my own brows anymore, hair an absolute disgrace.

Having a complete "Colin Baker, News at ten Moment"

Does anyone else remember that, or was it a long ago figment of my fevered imagination?

Anne58 Thu 07-Aug-14 23:07:03

Ah, Eglantine was mentioned in A Midsummer Night's Dream, something about a bank, but not the financial sort.

My head still hurts.

Galen Thu 07-Aug-14 23:07:45

Slender thing
Tender thing
Gossamer and airy
How the world loves thee
Little wild Rose.

Couldn't quite remember the words

jinglbellsfrocks Thu 07-Aug-14 23:09:35

Marmight is Gally. Gally is marmight.
Silverfish is ethelbags.
bagitha is Bags
jbf is eglantine
We mustn' t mention who Grannytwice was #snottyemailsensuefromgnhq

I can't see anything wrong with name changing.

grin

Galen Thu 07-Aug-14 23:09:58

I know a bank whereon the wild thyme grows

Oberons speech to Puck I think, giving hom directions ad to where to find Titania

jinglbellsfrocks Thu 07-Aug-14 23:10:45

"slender thing"

grin

jinglbellsfrocks Thu 07-Aug-14 23:11:26

Who was hom?

Anne58 Thu 07-Aug-14 23:14:01

I think it may be a typo, jingl but I'm pretty sure she didn't mean Homer Simpson.

Galen Thu 07-Aug-14 23:23:57

Fat finger! Him
