    That is amazing. Deleting the sarcastic smilies. Next a list of words we can't use - like disappointed, alarmed, or incredulous.

    Posh and smarmy. S'pose I am a bit Radio 4 - I like words, and don't feel the need on here to pretend to be less well spoken than I am in order to fit in.

    Mr. B. Mr.Brown. I didn't think when I chose Mr.Brown about possible confusion with Mr.B. I am really sorry about that. Not sure what to do. Should I change my user ID?

    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've always wondered why you were michaels ?

    Whether you were Michael Smith or if it was S as in plural- like you have a multiple personality diagnosis :)

    So you do know me off line then...

    ...I always thought it was Michael's user name...and Michael always seems to be taken before I get there.

    For some reason I always think sjaypink has something to do with pjs?

    Funny how you have vague images of people based on their usernames. Some obviously intentional eg Hamish as the archetypal Scot, others probably accidental eg Dithering Dad as Michael Crawford in Some Mothers Do 'Ave 'Em or chucky as something connected to vomit.

    Nope, I'm original (AFAIK!) I use the same name most places (..... maybe that should be unoriginal then :o)
