Wildgoose

Wildgoose Report 18 Mar 2010 20:13

I was Birdsinanest for a while, and signed off as Birdi as that's what others called me but it reminded me of my junior school days. The school bully called me 'Birdy' so I decided to change to Wildgoose as my relatives are always sending me on a Wild goose chase!

I'm still a bird, though!

Joy Report 18 Mar 2010 20:34

As you know, Lesley :-)
-
Joy Kentish Maid because I was born in Beckenham;
Maid Marion because of the role playing in days of yore in the Grottingham Regis threads;
and the AKA because the site administrators (during one of the site revamps) could not change all threads to read as if posted by one board name.
Sometimes, too: Durban Road Eagle, my board name in http://www.holmesdale.net/
And some threads / posts can still be found as having been posted by my real name, as I did when I first joined the site nearly six years ago.

I started off as Daffodil Ann..... signed off as Ann, but on a thread one evening there were at least 6 Ann(e)'s, and I found I was getting all confused and answering myself, so started to sign off as *Daff*... seeing as there wasn't another one around.. then changed to my Christmas name, *Peace on Earth* and when I changed back... I stuck with Daff, as that is how everyone had begun to know me.

I chose Daffodil for 3 reasons, in the beginning. The main one was that it seemed like an omen as I had just found out my brother's treatment for Hodgkin's Lymphoma had been unsuccessful, and he was about to start treatment leading to a stem cell transplant, and it was snowing... and there were two brave daffs poking their heads defiantly above the parapet of snow and ice, so the Daffodil seemed prophetic, somehow , .... and 2, I had just bought a bright yellow car to cheer me up, lol, so I was either going to be Suzee Sunshine or Daffodil...... and the car would have been the other, lololol But there was already a Suzee on the boards....

and thirdly... I had just returned home to Wales after 34 years wandering around the globe and England/NI after my husband, so Daffodil seemed like a good idea, lolol

So, there you go.... oh, and most of my Internet friends call me Daff in real life too.... and so do some of my family, now... I like it!

Love

Daff xxxx

Well I used to be Jill in East Kent or Jill in Tinsel Town but got so fed up with the endless, endless, endless Happy Crimbo threads last year - or the year before - that I became Mrs Grumpy.

Really I should be Mrs Laugh a Minute but noooo, Mrs Grumpy it will have to be now as I would hate to confuse people by changing it again within a five year period.
