Who's still here, nearly 3 years on?

I don't think it would be possible to be on here with two names at the same time. If it is, you would have to be very tech savvie.

Well said LearnerG

My DH is half Yorkshire and half Scottish and he says he has never heard of it thatbags

I've been here since about Autumn 2011 in various forms of my username - occasionally I leave if I'm worrying about privacy then rejoin as close as I can to my original name. I used to post a fair bit, and will always be grateful for the support I have had during hard times. But I don't post a lot these days, having been put off by the bickering which was going on. That was not what GN was about for me - I know others thrive on conflict, and love a good fight discussion, but to me GN is much more about the companionship of people who have grown up during the same time, have come through the the same experiences, and so can understand each other. Long may that continue

Hey all youse old timers, I need your help. Who else uses this expression: "Let's have a look at these here herrings heads" ?

You have to miss all the aitches off the beginnings of words and the look is as in a Yorkshire accent.

DD1 thinks I made it up. My dad used to say it so I presumed his parents, or one of them, did too.

I've changed my name a few times too. See profile.

I had to change mine because of my work! I was too recognisable.
I also had some very nasty pms

I have been here from the start and have the same name.
I don't post regularly though as I sometimes don't have time!

I think I do remember,*Ana*.

Marelli, I was originally Anagram, but I actually started a thread way back (2012 I think) to tell everyone I was changing my name - you've obviously forgotten that, but I'll forgive you!

However, the wink was nothing to do with my own name change...

Why have two names? It's bizarre and I don't know if it's true.

Don't worry Marelli I would be the last person to catch on anyway!

I can't see the point of arguing with yourself mollie unless someone was trying to stir trouble .

No - I hadn't meant anything! I was just confused because I thought Ana's wink meant that we might have recognised her by a previous name, and I thought perhaps gillybob knew what she meant....oh - I don't even know what I mean myself now...!

I was thinking about jingle actually Ana who has had more name changes than Elizabeth Taylor had husbands ! Hardly secret though

Someone told me that there are one or two here who have two screen names and that someone actually argues with herself on threads as two different people. I don't know if this is true and I have no further info but is it likely? I can't see the point myself but people have funny ways of behaving...

Well, you did go on to say 'there are some that are very obvious', gillybob!

There's no great mystery - some members who have changed their usernames have actually told us who they used to be, and others have dropped heavy hints. Of course those who have chosen to remain anonymous are still so - what's the problem?

There's nothing going on as far as I can see Marelli . I said that I had been on since the beginning and never changed my name. I commented that I found it difficult to keep up with name changes and Ana said that most (name changers) give enough clues to be identified. I then went on to say that "I am slow on the uptake" as I mostly haven't got a clue who has changed their name to what .

I havent got a clue what your all talking about.

Yeah. Well. Wouldn't mind being enlightened now!

I've never been on an absence, voluntary or otherwise,and I don't know what is going on either

Perhaps you were on one of your temporary voluntary absences at the time

Well I'm not.

I think Marelli must be joking...

I don't know who a certain blued name on this thread used to be.
