When I tried signing up I just wanted to be Janet which is my name but the best I was offered was JANET6 which was a no from me. I tried various other names and they too were taken. In the end I think I must have been subliminally driven by the red chillies of the 'hot threads' cos that's what I typed and it was accepted!
So Angie3 wasn't so bad really. But a definite no. I have a name and I can't do numbers.
I chose mine because I have no imagination and I chose my avatar because I have never been on a forum before and I thought you had to use your photograph! Must admit I like being called GG or Grandma. I have had much worse nicknames in my time!
I thought Figrat was a woman, caught a glance of her in her garden with a mirror in it on another thread. Thought Fiona, then Flo thought that too, while I was still reading.
I'm Busy-Lizzie because I'm Liz and there is always so much to do in the garden and I never seem to have time to get round to doing it all! Shame Busy-Lizzies have got stricken by a fungus - but mine were fine last year.
I thought Verdun was Christopher then another Christopher came along with a different spelling and he changed his name and other Christopher disappeared having caused an upset.
My avatar is violas last spring, changed it for spring - then spring kept not turning up!
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
Oh I like this thread! Nigel -'doc of rages'? Frank my dad was a musician and met my mum on the Isle of Man when he was there playing and she was holidaying there. He played with a lot of the big bands of the era etc and my mum loved to dance hence my love of jazz, classical, pop, rock , opera and of course the best of all -wonderful Gene Kelly musicals- quite an assortment! He went on to have his own repair business and was regarded very highly by all in the music business. I love hearing your stories. Can I adopt you as my surrogate Dad?
Welcome Daughter join the rest as I seem to come across as dad for some reason. Even the new recruits saw me in that capacity, "Sir the drill Sergeant shouts at me and his lanquage", tears running down their cheeks. I know lad or lass, his job is to keep you alive, it is not hate, he loves you and fails if you end up in a box. I love and play music and when in the mood I get in the mood with Glen Millar's in the mood and all the tunes I danced to. String of Pearls being a big favourite. "Hey I also loved Al Bowley and Chick Henderson, deathly silence then a chorus of who the H@#@ are they, two brilliant crooners one killed in the London Bombing, Bing Crosby said Chick was the greatest crooner ever he came from Hartlepool, the toilets down the yard with no doors you had to be a singer.
