A name says a lot: Forum members how their names portray them

Am I harmless? Let's say I wouldn't pick a fight with me

Exactly. Harmless, though, is an impression that you strive to cultivate.

He secretly gets a thrill from spelling words like 'colour' and 'honour' with the 'u'.
Do I get a thrill from spelling words properly? No, I don't, because I'm spelling such words correctly, and not incorrectly like you Yanks
****! I meant to say "without the 'u'!
Of course you spell correctly! The Yanks are completely wrong, I agree! Damned absent-mindedness! *hurriedly fixes errant post*

Hmm, that's odd. Perhaps it's my good humour and pleasantness that does it. I don't like to be angry. Angry Craig is not a good thing :eek:

Haha :p And no, spelling them without the 'u' is something I would consider as sacrilege :D

Exactly. No one gets a thrill from doing something ethically. (At least not the kind of thrill I'm talking ab out.) People (like you!) get a thrill from doing something slightly illicit...like spelling colour without a u. ;)

Humph... that's a bit harsh. I'm quite an outgoing person I'll have you know :p There's certainly more exciting things in my life than spelling things wrongly :D

[e.Blackstar]

Sure Craig...we believe you.

[Wolfshead]

Sure Craig...we believe you.
Haha, I'm a university student, what do you think we do? Study? Don't be stupid :rolleyes: - I could provide pictures, but I'm not going to :p

EDIT: And don't forget the legal drinking age in the UK is 18, and there's a plethora of student bars around here more than happy to give us cheap beer :D

Barliman Butterbur - claims to be an affable old inkeeper, even portraying film character on avatar and claiming to be 68. You can almost hear his kindly west country accent as you read his posts. But really he's a 22 year old whizz kid sporting the new David Beckham fringe who drinks alcopops in his lunch hour whilst talking business on his mobile with the other hand. He got the idea for BB from his workplace "Bree Towers" on Canary Wharf. That's right folks, he's a London dot com millionaire who is only pretending to be an American pretending to be an inkeeper.

(If barley reads this, I'm for it! I promised I wouldn't tell.)

[Hammersmith]

Eledhwen is a sarcastic but brilliant cardigan-wearer, who after posting will always smirk wryly and sip at a mug of fruit tea. She is thirty-something and lives out on a moor somewhere. Glasses, longer-than-shoulder-length frizzy/curly hair that an eyewitness could rationally describe as pretty much any shade of blonde or brown. At first glance her home is messy, but it's actually just very full, and everything is neatly placed, even if its place is a stack of papers on top of the computer.

Barley's personality is pretty much worn on his sleeves (he wears sleeveless pullover v-necks on top of work shirts), but he looks vaguely like a chubby Tony Levin. Levin is rather scrawny and thin, so I don't feel bad saying that ;)

Elgee (whom I was at a loss to describe aptly before) is a hopeless romantic who at first glance appears to be little else. She's got a delightfully wicked sense of humour and a sharp sense of sardonic wit that hides easily behind the sugary image. Capable of verbal jousting, but probably a very good big sister character as well.

@ Eledhwen: It can be dangerous to post on this thread. I'll nab ya! ;)

[HLGStrider]

I'm also irresistably cute and dangerous when given caffiene.

[Saucy]

I cant believe a thread i started is still in existence.
Stil claiming the old cute act Elgee. ah. its refreshing.
although i dont believe my name suits me anymore.

[Elbereth]

Elbereth (she's back, she's back!): Dark-haired, skinny, likes to wear glittery prom dresses everywhere she goes and has often been seen chewing on puppy treats.

Must be talking about the other Elbereth....glittery prom dresses and puppy treats are so not my style...;)

[Rhiannon]

Wow, this thread still exists, and there are still people I know on it!

[Arvedui]

Which means that you are getting older, m'lady.;)

[Eledhwen]

Gosh, I'd forgotten about this thread! Hammersmith is alarmingly close in his summing up of me. It's fleeces these days, not cardigans, and peppermint tea, as I will only drink fruit tea I've harvested myself. My home is messy however many times you glance at it (I have three daughters at home); my filing 'system' can be described as archaeological (the deeper you go, the older the documents. It works!). Hair length: not quite to my waist, owing to a tendency to cut it all off when distressed. Hamemrsmith was right about the colour; brown at the back, but I have natural blonde streaks at the front, so if I pull my hair back it looks blonder. I wish I did live on a moor (Dartmoor would be nice); but I live on the edge of Wootton Bassett (http://woottonbassettarts.mysite.wanadoo-members.co.uk/), a small market town in Wiltshire (www.weirdwiltshire.co.uk) (where Stonehenge is).

Rhiannon! I already know who you are. Ancient Brythonic Goddess of the horses, and probably the reason for the white horses (http://wiltshirewhitehorses.org.uk/) carved into the turf of the hillsides hereabouts (see the Uffington page on the link).

And as I'm on the subject of British links, how about this one (http://www.icons.org.uk/nom/nominations/hp-sauce) for Saucy ;)

[Rhiannon]

21 two weeks ago...aiee :eek:

I saw those white horses! Only from a bus window, unfortunately...I knew I was unusually drawn to them ;)

[HLGStrider]

Tsk. Just a chick. Look at my double twos!

[Arvedui]

Sorry, Elgee. I completely forgot that you are closing in on a Senior Citizen status.

Got a condo in Florida, yet?;)

[HLGStrider]

Nah, but I've taken up crochetting baby blankets for my grandbabies . . .

I heard today that my five-year-old sister's newest game involves her babysitting my twin daughters Liberty and Sarah and calling my mom grandma. Even if I were going to have twin daughters those aren't the names I'd pick . . .

[Starbrow]

But, does this mean you're expecting? I bet you two would have the cutest babies.

[HLGStrider]

Test says no. We aren't trying or anything. In fact, we plan to wait until he's civilian again, but I panic every month at least once and think "oh gosh!" and then it turns out, oh, never mind. This is the first time I ever panicked enough to take a test. . .

Yeah, Matt has very distinct features, and I'm not sure how they would look on a little girl. I'm determined to have a little girl FIRST. He says if we do we will name it Hepzibah. He is not naming it.

[Eledhwen]

He says if we do we will name it Hepzibah. He is not naming it.Hepzibah means 'married', which seems a little premature! I know a German Shepherd dog named Beulah (my delight is in her), which is from the same Bible chapter. Even these are better than the loony names certain celebrities have lumbered their kids with. Maybe it didn't enter their flashlight-frazzled brains that the child may be wearing the name for the best part of a century.
