I do love looking on there for the weird and wonderful.


There really are 7 (this is all over 18 by the way as i think it comes from the electoral roll) Chardonnays in the country, and 2 incorrectly spelt Chardonays too!


In my new job I work with a Sorrel, which incidentally I think is a lovely name, which got me thinking about other herbs and spices.


I see we have a Saffron on here, 600 odd of you.

The are:

2 Thymes

1 Dandelion

6 Chards

24 Peppers

3 Mints

4 Tarragons

20 Verbenas

4 Chiles, 4 Chillis and 2 Chilis

78000 Rosemarys

and no Aniseeds in this country.


Look, i just do this sort of thing, I can't help it okay?

My partner and I are planning to call our daughter Harper (due May 23). We both really love the name. Heard a story recently of someone giving their son the middle name of Danger. Purely so when they grow up they can say: "Danger is my middle name". Hilarious. I want to give my daughter the middle name of X. Just X. Harper X I think is great. I think she may grow up with superpowers with a name like Harper X. Don't think my other half will let me get away with it though.

But yes, Harper is a good name.

My girl name was Mabel but my husband wanted Annabel, which I thought was a bit too precious. So we found Amabel in the Book of Baby Names from Yore (or something like that) which suited us both.


No girl came though, which is probably a good thing because five years later I still for the life of me can't pronounce it.


Fuschia is it pronounced Rory? I really like it.

I and my friends tend towards more traditional names so there are some Marys, Elizabeths, Sophias, Catherines etc.

As a variation on Margaret, I like Marguerite which strikes me as much more feminine somehow.


Am I the only one shocked by the parents immaturity in giving the middle name Danger? It struck me as quite pathetic.

I'm loving your names.


My husband wanted to name our son Aethelred. If you guessed that it didn't happen you would be right.

    • Londis isnt a take away or fast food outlet. Its simply another convenience store.
    • Greg came out at last minute notice to address a leak at the flat. He stayed for 90 mins to try and fix it but turned out it was a communal pipe. He was quick to write a report so we could get Southwark onto it. Great plumber, would recommend highly. 
    • My daughter, a single parent, has been let down by her children's' father, who was supposed to have them for part of the school holidays, So we are helping out. Our grand daughter aged 11 is no problem, but 9year old is more difficult to please. Has an interest in computers and coding, does not like crowds (neurodiverse)  Is keen n how things work and enjoys taking things apart. He is already going to the transport museum and has been to the science museum  Husband and I have some mobility problems so nothing too strenuous. have done Horniman's a number of times.  Is there any local holiday schemes where we can enrol him in for 2/3 days. There seems to be a number relating to singing/dancing and drama but nothing science/maths based. He does not have an interest in sport at the moment. Grand children live in Sussex and will be attending Holiday Clubs for a couple of weeks  
    • When I had a dead fox in my garden the council told me to put it in my wheelie bin, the green one.  I warned the dust bin men when they came that it was in there.They said they get worse than foxes put it!  Dead bodies!?  In the heat it might be better to bag it up first. Pam
