And nephew pointed out that most teenage girls he knew had usernames like 'hott_babe_xxx', which made me quite happily chuck accuracy out of the window. Will 'TopShopPrincess' have to undergo a makeover for the US market, I wonder?<BR/><BR/>Switzerland, eh? Will have to do coffee when you stop whizzing about the globe like some kind of hugely successful jetsetting novelista. :P Let me know when you're back, I want gossip!rocrastinatorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04730633659545562563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8842068856716111407.post-45796137090948955232007-11-14T09:16:00.000+00:002007-11-14T09:16:00.000+00:00I too spent lots of time thinking about screen nam...I too spent lots of time thinking about screen names when Lovely Ed and I agreed to change that of a central character (was Jlo-babe, changed to TopShopPrincess - first name was written in 2005, oh how fashions change...)<BR/><BR/>I didn't see the Poliakoff but I can guess...I saw a funny review of something of his in "The Spectator" a year or so ago, describing the same sort of thing as yer man Gill.<BR/><BR/>When are we having coffee? I'm going to Switzerland tomorrow afternoon, but free till then.MGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18160452118666847270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8842068856716111407.post-2309263352712661402007-11-13T22:39:00.000+00:002007-11-13T22:39:00.000+00:00I'm amazed Grey Graham still lives: that must one ...I'm amazed Grey Graham still lives: that must one resilient moggy.<BR/><BR/>Aha! Did you really move some bags of icing sugar etc with you? Bless. I shall struggle on without...<BR/><BR/>I'm so pleased Nurse Matilda has lasted: I remember loving the great long lists of awful things they did, and all the names. And her nose which was like two potatoes. Apparently that horrible-looking <I>Nanny McPhee</I> film that Emma Thompson did was supposed to be based on them, though I'm guessing it was a 'Dark is Rising'-esque 'inspired by' kind of thing.

Which would of course be why I have screennames like 'Jess' or JessD' on the sites I use.

This would prob be because all your cakemaking doings are still in our cupboard from Little Person's birthday cake. Even though it is no longer the same cupboard. You can have them back, honest! <BR/><BR/>Glad to hear butterfly still fluttering, unsquished. (Crumbed?)Jesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15328155443064687967noreply@blogger.com
