My profile username is Almorr for everything on the Internet , that name was suggested to me by my son way back when he gave me his old desk top computer, it comes from the first two letters of my Christian name and the first four letters of my surname

Mine... I am Old and I am Floss :) Husband christened me Floss, in our rock climbing days, when in the rain, the front of my hair which was not protected by my crash hat ... curled up in a curly frizzy fluffy mess... like.. Candy Floss!

Tong ? What kind of pet was it ?

Pippatong profile image
Pippatong in reply to ButtercupKid

It was a Pekingese dog called ying tong after the spike Milligan song. A vicious little bugger that would savage the ankles of any unsuspecting passer by 😂😂 it was the 70’s and my mum loved that dog more than us kids 😂😂

Buttercups are my favourite flowers, cheerfully surviving no matter how rough the conditions or how much people despise them. Kid is catchier than Woman Rapidly Approaching Middle Age, if less honest! 😁

I used to weigh 114kgs and worked as a manager for Hovis. The drivers who worked for me christened me 'The Fat Controller' (after the boss in Postman Pat) and the name stuck. After cancer in 2015 I took early retirement. I'm not longer fat, or in control of anyone but still use the name.

misswobbleGraduate in reply to The_Fat_Controller

It’s from Thomas the Tank Engine and Friends books by Revd W Awdry

Postman Pat was something else entirely 😃

The_Fat_ControllerGraduate in reply to misswobble

You're quite correct, and I did know that, so I've no idea where I got Postman Pat from. Got my 🚚 and my 🚂 mixed up. I think I my chemo brain must have kicked in or else I was just having a senior moment. My lot are grown up so I'm out of touch with kid's tv and books at the minute, but I became a grandad for the first time a couple of weeks ago, so I can see all that changing soon 😃

Yep 😃. I got to watch the latest Nick park film the other day courtesy of the little uns. I love his Farmer’s Llamas and Shaun the Sheep.

My best pal tells me his grandkids watch Peppa Pig and In The Night Garden. All sounds a bit girly for me, I was hoping for pirates for my grandson, yarr! 🏴‍☠️

misswobbleGraduate in reply to The_Fat_Controller

my great nephew is pirate mad! You'll love it, cushions on the floor for islands in the sea. Hours of free fun. Cardboard cutlas made by kids. Har har Jim lad!

Don't, he current pirate programmes are awful. It's all very pc. Have a look on Amazon and get some PROPER pirate dvds!

Apparently Tyrone Power was really a good fencer and swashbuckler. My fave book must be Treasure Island! Still!!

I have a while to wait anyway, grandson is only 3 weeks old, who knows what there will be on tv by the time he's old enough.

Jundal profile image

My name heralds back from in the mists of time... (Cue dramatic music and a deep breath to give my life story...) When I was about 14, I used to play tabletop wargames with a friend. I had a chaos knight called... You guessed it! Jundal Desh. He was awesome, until a spell chenged his gender. And name to Susan. *Coughs* but, I digress. When I was in my early twenties, (was it really that long ago?) I met my wife on a starwars message board and at the time my online name was again, Jundal. (Not Susan.) And it stuck.

Sooo... My name is what my wife actually calls me. Usually in the context of "FFS JUN!" When I've done something wrong... 😂

I am Helen

hell on wheels when cycling

so maybe I should be

hell on earth for running ?
