Flora Report post Posted August 19, 2006 The new name (baddad ) has a bit of a history to it. I know nobody asked but here it is. Years ago, when I were a youngun and it were all fields... I went down to London during my hols from work to do some agency nursing (I needed the money). I reported to the operating theatres at St Thomas's hospital and announced my full name, which the receptionist misheard and announced on the theatre tannoy.... 'Flora Mason's here from the agency'...... she even made me up a badge with the name blazoned accross..... and for the whole time I worked there (even after I pointed out the error) the staff all called me Flora. The name stuck and for a few years everyone called me Flora and I've got a couple of friends who still do! So that's why I picked that name.... NOT because I spread it about Flora by name, but not by nature (chance would be a fine thing ) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

smiley Report post Posted August 19, 2006 Flora - love it! The 'all-powerful one in red' (i.e; Lufty ) changed mine too........ Change of names.......... Flora, does that mean we get a change of haircut too?? And of course, we'll have to go clothes/shoe shopping to match the new hair....... All that shopping will require a nice massage n couple of days in a spa at least.......... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

All that shopping will require a nice massage n couple of days in a spa at least.......... Hadn't noticed that bit of 'shrinkage'... So how come you never went with 'Tweety Bird'? (and you never have revealed all about that, have you? ) I am getting rather worried that there's a 'trend' emerging here, though - especially when I think back to those old american cop shows: "The following is a true story. Only the names have been changed, to protect the guilty..." L&P OWEN MEANY <'> Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

something vague Report post Posted August 24, 2006 You certainly are Flora, Well, I wonder who I am.......... ssshhh if you are not sure who I am PM me and I will tell you who no dont say it. Dont give it away xx I wont PM you, not yet anyway cos I like a good guessing game. But seriously I dont know and you haven't left any clues what with the change of avatar too. I wish I had been paying more attention for the past few days. I'm tempted to change my name 'Something Vague' is a song that I love but in my mind it conjures up 'a smell' or a 'stomach ache'. I dont know, wait and see. Maybe I'll be 'Something Amazing' instead SV Frangipani is a Monkey Puzzle tree isnt it? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This could be the start of a new game - 'The name change game.' We could do it once a month, keep everyone on their toes SV Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
