Good Morning everyone,

I tend to call people by the boardnames, even at meets, for instance I will call Muffy ...Muffy ... , as in the case of Chaotic, I know her first name and tend to call her by that same with Mildred and a few others apart from Stray who told me off once for doing so. Like Ann in Glous and Golden girl I tend to call them by their names Ann and Emma, BC I call by her real name. But likes of Island I have no idea what her real name is and have no need to know so I call her Island. and then there is Nutty Nancy I call Nuts :-D

Persephone

Persephone Report 18 Aug 2013 02:05

Some people get formal and call me Persephone,

Some like Glossie Ann call me Perse as do several others.

Renes calls me Percie .. and I was Percie until the Upstairs Downstairs program had Lady Persie..

so I was Persie of Tywyn on the Welsh thread and when speaking with Tec.. but have dropped that now.

Gins calls me Pers .. but she shortens everything Numpties tend to do that.

Glossie Ann became that when she put twinkles around her name one Christmas.

There are a lot of people on here that know my real name including Glossie Ann, Emma, Rosie, Jax, Butters, ChAoTic and Claude called Allan.

Persie

Perse you must admit Persephone is quite a mouthful to say/write.

I have always liked you calling me glossy Ann.

I shall be in a bit of a dilemma at Christmas because, although my Christmas name has always been Sparkling AnninGlos, I wonder now if people still mourning Sandie will forget I have always used it and think I am presuming on her name. Sandie and I used to sparkle together at Christmas but she retained her sparkle while I lost mine at other times of the year. Hmmm difficult :-S

Also are people that are reading your name, pronouncing it correctly Percy?

Percy-Phone or Per-sef-uh-nee

Stick to three letters then you can't go wrong :-)

jax ( or someone with a long name which even her mother hates)

Ann I think (and it is only my take on it) that come that dreaded time of year you should still sparkle as in other years, I am sure Sandie would agree also. So sparkle as always in her memory <3

I have just seen this Ann-G.
Don't worry about your Christmas board name , Sandie would not wont any changes to the Welsh thread. You have always used that name at Christmas so I hope you continue to do so.

What did you mention Christmas for, it's a rude word until the 24 Dec :-D :-D

Something or other?

EDIT this will probably not make sense now that John has deleted a load of his posts

AnnCardiff

AnnCardiff Report 18 Aug 2013 17:28

and I notice that John has edited his posting to call me Annie - which is something I definitely do not like to be called :-(

and also John, I am not your cariad!!!!

John is just being John, that´s the reason he wished Shaun a merry cridlemas, nothing like trying to bait somebody.
Gladly Shaun is above that.

If it's all the same John, I would prefer you not to call me love.

It makes me feel ever so slightly uncomfortable.
