I cjose mine because it was just the way i was feeling when I joined...and I was so keen to get on with this hobby that I couldn't wait to think of anything better...

it's still very appropriate - perhaps it should now be 'keenbutstill confused'

I chose mine because a) Veron is what I'm called and b) headbanging was what I was doing a lot of at the time! I have considered changing it to just Veron because the brick walls are now much less traumatic than they were, owing to the people on this excellent web site!

Not to worry, I'll WEAR them and sweep through customs with loads of expensive luggage, clutching a Pekinese called Frou-Frou, and wafting clouds of so much evil-smelling perfume the Customs officers will be knocked unconscious and I'll get away scot-free!   ;D ;D ;D

OK but I am not wearing pink for anyone - I don't want to be mistaken for Barbara Cartland.   :D
