  • That'd be true but I'm a Leeds United supporter and not ifrom Leeds, so they only have Simon to go on (which is actually my preferred middle name I am known by but not first name as shown on passports etc just to make things even more cryptic!!!!).
    That could change the way you feel about it.

    Take a scenario in which you win with another MSEer's code and they post the win for £100 on the forum saying it is shared with you. McV note this and also note that a few minutes earlier there was a win for £100 by someone called Simon with a postcode from Leeds. Could be a difficult one to argue that it wasn't you...

    Thanks Lynn, think thats the best idea - I have copied and pasted onto a word doc along with others - if I win with a code and contact the owner and its already gone, my tough luck - mind you the way the wins are at the moment, I think thats prob unlikely lol.

    PS - Orange Plastic you reminded me, I really need to change my username and not have my REAL NAME lol, that wasn't my best decision ever (and no as discussed previously, I'm not a Surgeon, any more than Orange-Plastic is orange and plastic! (I hope lol) Any suggestions for a new name? and lastly, breaks my heart to start collecting my thanks again so you all have to promise to click my thanks button everytime you see me under my new Username - phew, that was long lol :D All suggestions for new username gratefully received - no prize for the winner :p

    I was really thinking of someone else when I mentioned it! Initials DB... ;)

    Probably a good idea to change it now you have publicly announced that it is your real name. Can't you change your username within your account to keep the same account with all the thanks etc. I would think a moderator-type-person would be able to sort it out for you if you explain the reason you want to change it.

    Heeeeeeeeeee :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:


    In my head Orange-Plastic was like Barbie :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:


    Doesn't make me feel any less of a man!!

    What is really mis-leading is that Purple Butterfly is actually more of a lilac butterfly in real life...

    LOL peeps already knew it was my real name - had this discussion a while back - it just reminded me when I read your post :D Good idea, so thanks, I'll check with one of the mods to see if they can just change my name, if not, just a new account - and I'll look through everyones name and sig to see which sort of name is the luckiest ;) Was about to go to bed but had a few more tries at bonkers - as usual no luck!

  • It's wierd, I sometimes think that this forum gets so busy I spend all my time trying to keep up with it and then notice I haven't got any bonking done. It occurred to me that this would be a good time to be bonking while everyone is too busy with the forum. Finally I catch up with it and respond to a few posts and then realise everyone seems to have gone. It occurs to me that they're probably all bonking again while I'm still going round and round the forum.

    Or something.

    Last thought before I really do go to bed (shattered)

    In the same way as they have the Bronze Age, Ice Age and Stone Age, in about 10,000 years time, do you think they'll discover the McVities Age (there's gonna be a helluva lot of packets in the landfill sites come Monday) :D

  • LOL I think there'll be lots of kids with bags of biscuits come Halloween that's for sure - I've got a carboot coming up so lots of opportunities to get rid of my excess Penguins that's for sure!!!!

    New dawn now Surgeoner and Orange Plastic - keep on bonking - you never know what the new day'll bring!!!!

    I remember!

    I wonder if I could persuade everyone to change their username to a permutation of orange plastic, just to confuse the enemy...
