As we appear to have several confusions about names, would it not be easier for all to use a community name (as other sites do).
It would help if those changing their names could keep a continuity through it, ie Uzzi in the Sun Uzzi getting wet etc

just a thought but surely if you are known then you are more likely to be answered.
Unless you don't want to be known ofcourse !

Hi Uzzi

How's you? :))

I change my name yet always have Shimms in it.

Tis a good idea I think. Yesterday I extended my hand of friendship to my friend Val not realizing it was her, she is now Val in SA.

Maybe you could try Sir Kerm Navi-gate. Then you could join the illustrious ranks of Water-gate etc

Winter Drawers Ever Near Report 31 Mar 2009 23:01

Hi,

I started off about 5yrs ago with Autumn Leaves. Was going to change my name with the seasons.

Joined in October so very quickly changed my name to WDEN.

To be honest I couldn't be bothered with the Spring Forward and the Summer Breeze.

So sorry folks you will just have to put up with my drawers for eternity!
