I will call for a brew one of these days.

Coffee, white, no sugar.

Well, I guess I have to answer NO to that one...seeing as I use my real name for my accyweb persona.

I had typed in a pseudonym and then used google autofill - didn't notice that doing that had made changes

would you be bothered if someone typed in ur real name on here?

User name or real name, I don’t care which. After all I chose my user name and my parents gave me my real name.

What I don’t like is people abbreviating either. I view it as a discourtesy and as a general rule I ignore their posts when they do.

Just as interesting, I suppose, is why people use the pen names they do. The first time I popped on Accy web it said sign on with a name; I hadn't a clue what name to use, but looked out the window and lo and behold: the Tea Building Shoreditch. With a slight change, that did the trick.

It's weird when people whom I have never met use my Christian name, but I don't exactly have sleepless nights over it.

shillelagh · 13-03-2008, 17:50

Its easier to type jen than shillelagh in the chatroom ........ plus hardly anyone ever spells it right anyway. Why shillelagh id been playing some records for mum and one of them was called shillelagh and shamrocks by bing crosby (for all those nosy enough to wonder who its by) and i couldnt think up a name so used shillelagh seeing as its a play on my last name as well. So thats why im shillelagh..........

So no im not bothered if you use my proper name rather than m y user name. Mind you i tell everyone to use jen anyway.
