MelissaJKelly 2,120 Posted November 22, 2014 Report Share Posted November 22, 2014 Probably right there Carni, maybe I should start using the Irish variant to my name? Always an idea to fall back on! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chulla 4,946 Posted November 22, 2014 Report Share Posted November 22, 2014 #46. Oh, so your name isn't Carney, and Mark, the governor of the Bank of England, isn't your brother; or Martha, the BBC presenter isn't your sister? 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
carni 10,094 Posted November 22, 2014 Report Share Posted November 22, 2014 No I'm not who you think I am. My real name is......Agent C?..... Ooops. I nearly broke my cover! 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
katyjay 5,090 Posted November 22, 2014 Report Share Posted November 22, 2014 I always wondered Carni how you came up with your monica, cos a carnie over here is someone that works the carnivals, or fairs as they are over there. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
carni 10,094 Posted November 22, 2014 Report Share Posted November 22, 2014 Nothing as exiting as that Katyjay. I've led a very sheltered life. AHEM.The day my Nephew helped me to get on Nottstagia, we had to find a name for me, and there was a photo of our Red Setter by the computer. Wallah, I became Carni. I didn't even get a Capital letter! Perhaps it's time I came clean. Here we go....my real name is.....C.......C.....C. No sorry I can't do it! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Chulla 4,946 Posted December 13, 2014 Report Share Posted December 13, 2014 Er, Melissa you are not going to like this. My Annandale's Concise English Dictionary says that the word Jade means, wait for it, 'an old mare, poor or worn-out horse; a mean or vile woman, a hussy'. Bet you wish you had been called Jane, now. lol Moral. Look before you leap! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MelissaJKelly 2,120 Posted December 13, 2014 Report Share Posted December 13, 2014 Hahaha!! I've learnt something new today. Thanks Chulla. Thank God Jade isn't my first name eh?! 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

tomlinson 879 Posted December 13, 2014 Report Share Posted December 13, 2014 Names can be embarrassing. I know one man who had the name Edward Bastard. In the end he changed his name to Arthur. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chulla 4,946 Posted December 13, 2014 Report Share Posted December 13, 2014 I didn't mention the green stone as I would have expected Melissa to know that, but I do wonder if the Irish ancestry, and the Emerald Isle description of that island was the reason for the middle name. That's my view, probably a jaded one! Our maternal grandfather was named Evelyn Ethelbert. No wonder he preferred 'Ted'. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MelissaJKelly 2,120 Posted December 13, 2014 Report Share Posted December 13, 2014 Quite right there Chulla. My Grandad was from Ireland! Good guess there! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chulla 4,946 Posted December 13, 2014 Report Share Posted December 13, 2014 #69. Yes, Bastard is an old English surname. Think those with it liked it to be pronounced B'stard. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
carni 10,094 Posted November 4, 2015 Report Share Posted November 4, 2015 I have been looking through the posts on "Three words to sum up your day." and I have noticed a grey colored cross underneath the "Like this" sign on all of dgbrits posts. Have I accidentally pressed something? I can't say I've noticed it before. It is only when my cursor is on the post. And on Loppylugs posts. Sorry to keep editing; but I am seeing the cross on quite a few different posts, but not on some? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sue B 48 1,226 Posted November 4, 2015 Report Share Posted November 4, 2015 It happens when go on some post carni; 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Trevor S 2,003 Posted November 4, 2015 Report Share Posted November 4, 2015 You will find that grey cross on most posts that the authors have a 'signature' displayed ie Chulla has "You can sometimes never tell what's least expected most." Left click with your cursor on the grey cross and it will give you the choice as to ignore the individual's signature or, all such signatures. I say most signatures because some posters eg katyjay has a signature but no grey cross and the same for mick2me. No idea what the overall purpose is though.....
