    It's strange, I like talking to people from different backgrounds, but I don't like my thoughts being stored. Makes me feel a little exposed. Oh well, there's always a sure fire way to have the posts removed.

    How do you mean?

    By the way, something that has been troubling me for a couple of days.

    I am nothing like Christopher Biggins.

    We lack that ruthless streak I think.

    Means you're nicer people though. A higher priority as I see it. ;)

    Sorry Mr Brown :)

    And thanks 1984 :o

    ...As it stands MrB, prior to the mention of egging puddings, I had you down as a bit of an older looking rufus wainwright.... not sure if that makes you any happier though TBH :cool: :D

    Don't call him Mr B - I'll get all confusd.

    Unless I already am.

    I like Mr Knightley's name, even if unsure of his identity. V Jane Austen.

    Could we have Mr Darcy on the next incarnation? Please?

    Sorry, yes you are right :o didn't think of that- just that MrBrown is a bit long and/or formal for my liking & I don't want to presume I can call him anything else :D

    Mr Knightley is indeed a cool name :A

    Another Q:
    If we were all able to change our usernames - what would you change yours to?

    I think I'd go for something a bit tougher sounding... :cool:

    I'm thinking I would change mine to something radically different and less formal as I know you all so well now - how does 'Michael' sound to everyone?
    I think....

    I think I'd go for something definitely male. Less hassle.

    Hey - I wanted to do a roll-eyes smiley?

    Where's it gone?

    And they've moved the shrugging one too!

    Was it just time for a change, or had I worn them out? ;)

    Glad to see winking is still there.


    Phew.

    Or is it a totalitarian attempt to ban sarcasm?

    I think we should be told!
