Do you think that EcclesCake should be awarded a prize....

[Kiki-frog]

.... for coming up with a really fascinating thread about user names? I bet I'm not the only one who has read each post avidly.

[Davethedog]

She should be congratulated for starting such a nice, no aggresion thread that we can all contribute to.

[ummmm]

Not really. We have them often...

[rowanwitch]

its a regular thread....approx every 6 months by my guess interesting to see what the newer members give as reasons

[joko]

yep been asked many many times before

[EcclesCake]

Kiki & Dave - :-)

Umm - :-(

Rowan - :-/

Not everyone logs in everyday to see what is occurring. I just spotted LidLickers user name this morning and it got me wondering.

Sorry if I've trawling over old ground......

[sunny-dave]

Well I like it :+)

< please send cake and pickles to usual address >

[ummmm]

Eccles....I don't have a problem with it. I joined in!!

[EcclesCake]

A jar of my finest piccalilli is on it's way.

Good job too because if I carry on eating it at the current rate I'm going to turn yellow and have cauliflower ears!

[joko]

eccles... no one has a problem with the thread... we are just noting that its not as new and unusual or fascinating as kiki seems to think.

its still interesting as of course new users add to it

[EcclesCake]

I'm touched by Kiki's comment and it's nice to have a popular thread that isn't driven by trolls.....there is only so much popcorn one can eat!

I'm not sure it is necessary to point out that this is a recurring thread, as I said we're not all here everyday. Today's threads are tomorrows virtual chip paper....or cones for popcorn ;-)

[gness]

I found it interesting. I`m a newbie (ish) and often wondered about user names.
Fun to join in... in between working on the fence I`ve just discovered isn`t mine.
Thought Eccles was getting a prize of sorts from Sqad.

[rowanwitch]

Didn't say it wasn't a good thread... as I said the number of new posters means there are always new stories to add....

[Philtaz]

Mmmmm, piccalilli!!

[WELSHYORKIE]

So Eccles isn't as nutty as a fruit cake then?

[EcclesCake]

Philtaz, I have a sample size jar [of piccalilli] I could send you!

Welsh, don't be too hasty with your assumptions.....

[Philtaz]

Jar? Couldn't you do it in 40 gallon drums? LOL

A very kind offer, I'm sure it's delicious.

[Kiki-frog]

I've only been on here for a few months, so my apologies to Rowan, Joko and anyone else who thinks the thread is repeating old stuff, but it's brightened up my day and made me laugh, and for that Eccles deserves a big hug.
((()))

[joko]

it was pointed out for kikis benefit - as clearly they were unaware of the regular recurrence and thought it so unusual and great that it was worthy of a prize.
kiki can now go and view all the other threads if they like

there is no actual prize so dont take it so personally that no-one agrees ...;o)

[joko]

no need to apologise at all kiki - no one minds the thread!

people were just pointing that its not unusual!

[rowanwitch]

Especially when people give a different reason when the thread is repeated
