Good luck with it. Do take the counseling being offered. Its worth it. 

 

I can be incredibly liberating and truly wonderful. 

 

In my case it wasn't. Not at all. 

I have councilor Troi on speed dial, but shall keep my ear to the ground.

They will ask you to lift the ear off the ground during the initial physical. 

So I suggest you only put it to the ground now and then rather than keeping it there.

Yes, I noticed that 🙂 . However being a haggis I need to keep a low profile as we are entering the haggis hunting season

A way to evade anyone working out one's previous username is to abandon it, and just register a brand new profile!

Hey. Thats exactly what I did, but not for that reason. I think its pretty obvious who I was in a previous life. It's not as if I have changed my ridiculous style of writing.

Are you Elvis? 

 

I'm a big fan of The King and we have been trying to track him down for years. The rumour is he had changed his name to another well known but not anywhere near as good rock star. We just didn't know who. 

 

I can understand how you feel about this. I won't tell anyone. 

 

Say hi to Diana by the way. Oh, and Michael. Dear MJ. The other king.

Ohhhhh, I know exactly who you are!!!!

 

You're ... um.... err..... thingy, aren't you? 

Royal Mail workers often have a very recognisable posting style. 

 

There was a young woman who was on this board a while ago with name 'username'. 

 

Quite good. 'Please write username here to login'

Perhaps what you need is a nice big strong male haggis to protect you, and if necessary make the ultimate sacrifice to save you? 😉

Moderator is a good user name, but the admin tend to get a bit grumpy if you use it.

Ok if we are starting off on that tack! I have a pair of old Sooty and Sweep puppets I no longer want. Does anyone here want to take them off my hands?

I'll take Sweep please if he is good on dirty flue pipes.

‘ere Rod, did you give Nimoy any help mixing his tunes?

I was only listening to his Blibo Baggins the other day,

Much better than Shatner’s efforts

But where will I get one now that my colleagues have disappeared to keep out of the way of the hunters?

He should have released some of it then!

Bonnie Tyler might know. She was holding out for a hero and presumably got one.

I don't think so. I think she got obscured by the total eclipse.

As a request from the Mods, please also avoid opening an account called "Guest"...

Would "Guess" be OK ?

I removed the user name from my account for 6 months and didn’t post having got to a point of finding the forum to be a more negative than positive experience. Resurrected it a couple of months ago with a different username because frankly the previous one was a bit crap. No great secrecy since both usernames reference my actual name.

That made me think of this...

and I did give a clue,

a weak cryptic clue on another thread as to what the numbers referred to

 

I did wonder why someone had a GWR heavy freight tank's number as their username (TBH I assumed it was coincidence and it was a boat related number until I googled it out of idle curiosity and figured out which one it was).

 

I've not been here long enough to see you post as anything other than multiple beers...

And he posts them 'receiver pays'.

Without actually checking, I'll admit, I thought having multiple accounts was in breach of forum rules.

 

So anybody creating a new account whilst a previous one still exists should, I think, strictly not be doing so.
