Chav's grown up!

[LegalEagle-ish]

Hi,

yes it's me, the Chavmeister.

After a year and a half doing proper stuff like working in solicitors offices, I have finally become a boring grown-up so have decided I need a boring grown-up username.

New Year, New me!!!

[giggirl]

Well done honey. It's taken a lot of time and hard work to get where you are and you certainly weren't handed anything on a plate. I hope you're proud of yourself. You're officially a role-model now!

[KalamityKel]

:-( already missing the chav I loved...

Try saying ya new name when slightly intoxicated... :-$ (obviously not at this time in the morning!)

[Bellenden Belle]

A HUGE well done....and an inspiration to all of us (yep talking about myself here) who spend our lives making excuses about why we can't get on and do something amazing.

But. BUT... I will miss your old user name. It had an uncompromising, stick-your-prejudices where the sun don't shine, element to it. It told people where you were coming from and where you were going. It had balls.

Leagle-Eagle-ish - well, what's the "ish" all about? You're a Legal Eagle and I suspect a fucking good one too - I'd love your name to reflect that!

But whatever you call yourself, it's great you're here!

[PeckhamRose]

Preferred the old name because it is still possibly relevant.

Not had the pleasure of meeting you, but getting an idea about you from the threads and comments you write.

Hate to be pedantic but "legal" is the correct spelling, and apologies if the mistake was a deliberate attempt to make you sound.... chavvish still? ;)

Congratulations anyway.

[LegalEagle-ish]

was going to pretend i had some deep reason for the wrong spelling, but i'm just crap at spelling!

Dammit, going to have to change it again!!

[PeckhamRose]

Oh okay, was glad I did not cause offence.

[Michael Palaeologus]

How about "Illegal Eagle" :))

[SeanMacGabhann]

LEi it is then young lady - and being grown up ain't so bad. Or boring

[lozzyloz]

Jury's out but congrats anyway. Well deserved. You'll be moving into the big house on the hill next!

[mockney piers]

I like it, apparently a LEi is "any series of objects strung together with the intent to be worn"?

Make of that what you will ;-)

[Jah Lush]

Well done darling, you've worked hard for what you've achieved and deserve all the plaudits coming your way. A pay rise wouldn't go amiss either would it. Drinkypoo soon methinks. x

[LegalEagle-ish]

Haha, is that better - thank you lovely Admin person!!!

[Ladygooner]

We need to toast your new name tomorrow night - you coming down to the Phoenix?

[LegalEagle-ish]

No Babysitter!

Unless there are any offers out there!

[SteveT]

We could call you 'Chav', now we have to call you a mouthful which hardly falls off the tongue, and it's not shrinkable.

Belle's description was spot on.

LEish perhaps then from here on in,

LegalEagle-ish sounds kinda grey haired and middle aged, though I know this is not the case.

where 'Chav' was much younger, vibrant, and 'up for it'.

[Terence R]

Yeh but I'm less vibrant, old and not up for much any more, dearie!
