I would be Kitty Baslow, as living in the graveyard means we weren't on a road...

We played the game by using one's mother's maiden name as a surname, though, poss becuase of the absence of street names.

Now though, I'd be Charlie Hollow, which is worrying, as I'm a girl.

By the by- I was up in liverpool over the weekend, sarah, and I saw a shop you'd like. It was called "Minsky's" with an exciting steel funky sign, and was a hairdressesers.

There's also Minsky's bar & grill, which I see when I catch the bus to London, which makes me think of the cat and his staff... makes me smile every time I go past.



My reality check has just bounced again.......

Have been informed by mum that my first address was on Pennslyvania Avenue, so I would actually be:
Emerald Pennsylvania

So _that's_ why my Number One Cat spends so much time out of the house - he's busy running two businesses!

You know, it doesn't entirely surprise me...

My husband just figured out his Porno name....


Speedie Ransford or
Friskie Ransford

(I think I'd go for the Friskie one instead - wouldn't have a very long career if he went by Speedie!)

At first: Rudy 14

Now: Laila Cabrillo.

Although I though it was mother's maiden name for last?

I'd be Laila Gans!

Pete West?!!?!??!

OK, that's too scary and highly inappropriate.

Sounds like a Welsh accountant to me.

Originally I'd be Jack Trent (sounds more like a detective to me).
Now I'd be Michael Platt (Michael being the last goldfish I owned which died recently, for our non UK viewers Michael Fish is a TV weatherman over here)

It isn't going well enough to call himself Michael Platt yet, I do know that.
