I asked FB as my son, a drummer, did, well still does, drive me to distraction with his fidgeting and tapping. Was horrendous when he was in the bedroom over the sitting room.
My dad was a bus driver. What he hated was someone sitting upstairs over the drivers cab, tapping his feet.
I just can't sit and do nothing. In the evening I have a laptop on my knee while I watch TV. Being stuck indoors when it's raining is murder.
After a stressful day at work, I am inclined to have a wander around the garden, with a glass of white wine in hand, mentally making a list of jobs to do. In winter, we like to go diving. I record as much as I can then edit it down to make our own holiday videos ( Blue movies !!). I am interested in all sorts of wildlife and biological sciences.
...I'm changing my name to 'kitchen spam'... I think it's fairly topical... and I always seem to have a tin of luncheon meat in the cupboard...
I wonder what happened to members from the old forum... 'rosalba' I recall, always asking about roses but never seemed quite satisfied... 'DeeDee' who gardened in Cornwall I think... 'Rhoda Dendron' [why didn't I think of that..?]...'plocket'..? names that seemed very familiar at one time...
We did do a thread like this long ago on the old forum, quite a few of the people from there came over here - maybe many of them changed their names? Couldn't begin to recall who started it there, there were some fun asnwers though.
Like so many I didn't really think yoo much about my 'gardening' name - just to say my beloved dog (now in doggy heaven) was called Mutley and the 200 - well sometimes after a day in the garden I feel 200!!
Verdun, you did - in March. Went off on a slightly different tangent though. I posted on it too so, although I am correct in saying it was covered on Beeb as Bookertoo has said, I had forgotten about your one. Just happened to notice it whilst looking for something else I posted on some time ago. I am beginning to get worried.
Yes, I remember that must have beeb quite an upsetting time for you Verdun. Well, I found it uncomfortable anyway.
Better not change my name again otherwise I might start arguing with myself.

there is no funny story behind mine, it's my nickname which is shorten from my surname.
I chose mine because the day I sign up to the Beeb board that is what my fork looked like and I could see out side the window. No imagination
