Dear GNHQ. Could you please read this very carefully as it is a bit complicated. It's about a poster with the monica of "whatanuisancea bc123" or something like that. Here is the case for your consider

ation.

A few days ago, there was a thread. I can't remember which one it was, or exactly when it was. Sorry.

Anyway, *Whata (as title) happened to remark, in reply to another poster, that she rather wished she hadn't chosen that name. She felt it did her no justice. Others simply felt it was too long to type.

What I would like to put to you for your consideration is whether or not you might be able to relax your no-name-changing rule, just this once, (well, apart from a few others that have jumped on the bandwagon decided they don't like their monicas either hmm) and allow her to change her name to WOT. We had a thread where posters (there was a huge interest in this confused) put up suggestions. This one - WOT - is the name she has chosen.

Your attention, and reply, after an appropriate length of time and consideration, would be greatly appreciated.

Mwah!

I have treated myself to quite enough I think. Two mince pies, two pieces Xmas cake and the remains of a trifle.

They were taking the Xmas market/fair away. sad I only went once, but still. The lights were nice. Sigh.

You could borrow my light box [doesn't do the trick though] Treat yourself to ANYTHING! That's the way to go.

Not about the Jan blues though!

jinglbellsfrocks Mon 04-Jan-16 16:10:32

I've got the January blues.

Leave me alone.

Crikey....... Did you throw your teddies out the pram Jingl or because it's text did I miss the intended tone ? I hope Lucy gets danger money ;-)

Humourless? Moi? It was only a joke jingl shock

Lucy * jing is actually a pseudonym for Eglantine :- a pretty wild rose with a prickly tendency!smile???

wot Mon 04-Jan-16 14:21:48

Thanks, jings! At least you help people. If one can't have a larf then what's the point?

jinglbellsfrocks Mon 04-Jan-16 14:20:04

jinglbellsfrocks Mon 04-Jan-16 14:19:50

A few Gransnetters have quite enjoyed this. Sorry if it as a pain in the backside to you.

Gransnet without the GNrs might not be hugely successful.

jinglbellsfrocks Mon 04-Jan-16 14:16:40

shock

Right! I might be out of here now. Flippin' cheek.

It was just a fun thread.

God save us from the humourless. hmm

wot Mon 04-Jan-16 14:13:58

Oh, my God! Thanks! I think I'm cracking up here............losing passwords and allsorts. It's this Dry January, I guess! Thanks, anyway

LucyGransnet (GNHQ) Mon 04-Jan-16 14:13:48

Oh you know, first day back in the office after being away for a while we tend to just twiddle our thumbs...

Remind me Jings, is this your username or wot's? wink

jinglbellsfrocks Mon 04-Jan-16 14:09:26

shock

What took all the time then? Problems don't go away just by ignoring them.

hmm

(She wants capitals)

LucyGransnet (GNHQ) Mon 04-Jan-16 14:01:23

Alas, no extra day off here! Ooohh go on then, just this once... Wot, here comes your new shortened username in a couple of minutes wink

jinglbellsfrocks Mon 04-Jan-16 13:59:16

WOT, if I may jump the gun and call you that, "bump" is just to bring the thread back up to the top of Actives. You can do it with just a dot. HTH smile

jinglbellsfrocks Mon 04-Jan-16 13:56:45

No! Do not go down the un-registering route. I think they have cottoned on to that one and it's not so easy anymore.

I think the reason no one has replied yet will be because the big guns (Cari, Lara, and Luce) are perhaps having an extra day off, and no one at HQ knows what to do. We need to be patient.

Sorry I have not been on thread. Went to Marks and Sparks.

Grannynise Mon 04-Jan-16 13:49:22

So .... it appears that GNHQ are not closely monitoring posts as there has been no reply. Slack. That's all. Slack

grannylyn65 Mon 04-Jan-16 13:10:29

Wot a carryon over something that should be simples !
