I have been on here I think for a couple of years now and I have noticed some very weird and wonderful user names
and wonder if anybody would like to share the origin of theirs?..

Two reasons. They’re one of my favourite bands. Seen them live twice and it’s short.

As I've said before mine came about when DD1 asked DD2 if she had a bag she could borrow for some reason. DD2 said "No but ask Mum she has all sorts of bags." True and I still have too many.

Could easily have been Far Too Many Scarves :-) also true

ELderly RELative but I think it sounds a bit like a Tolkien character!
Maybe I’m OLREL now…

I admire all the clever names. All I could think of was my favourite type of place. A high cliff top covered in thrift, looking out over a wild sea. Gulls whirling and calling.

A Big Bertha is a golf club. I used to be Teetime.

Because it was our last notable wedding anniversary, Sapphire = 45 years. Sadly won't make our Golden (would have been next year), as DH died 3 years ago.

Mine is a quality I try to cultivate, not always successfully! Misspelt to look like I’m an interesting foreign person.
