Ah, ignore that. It's just your name that's vanished. It reappeared at the top of the posting page.

I wasn't here. smiley - whistle

Rudest Elf


But, but, but.....

I think the name thing is down to Barlesque (or possibly the move). As an Alabastard, I began to notice that other folks' names had been doubled and that I'd spawned a twin, too.

Figuring that one 'Rudest Elf' was sufficient (some would say more than enough), I decided to replace one of them with a favourite anagram of my real name.

A question: if I could see myself as others see me, how would my name appear in conversations?

smiley - reindeer

Ps You can call me Rudy if you like.

I haven't seen the doubling up, but I'm using Brunel. I see you as Amiably corpulent, which is why I though - who is this newbie picking holes in all our entries smiley - cross and came to investigate. Saw your 'proper' name when I'd created the thread, it has This is the Message Centre for Rudest Elf - Amiably corpulent at the top. Then I noticed it on your PS, and elsewhere in your message centre and felt like a smiley - clown.

I'll have to slip into another skin and check it out. smiley - spacesmiley - run

How strange! Altering my preference to Brunel hasn't produced a change of skin.

Guess I'm stuck with Alabaster (not that I mind that). I'm sure that if I google h2g2, I'll be able to link to a page in a different skin.

I'll do it in the morning - something to look forward to.

Riveting stuff, eh! smiley - tongueout


smiley - reindeer
