Please introduce yourself…

Hi and welcome to the Cafe!

Please feel free to introduce yourself!

shaking-hands

This is an area for cafe people – regulars and newcomers alike – to leave a little bit of information about themselves, if they wish to do so. You don’t have to; it’s entirely optional, and your little bit of blurb can be as truthful or as tongue-in-cheek as you like.

We just want to let new visitors to the cafe know the sort of people that they’ll be hanging out with.

p.s. Duncan (the patron) is a grumpy old scots git – who’s usually p*ssed in the corner, in the event that he (ever) replies to a comment, feel free to ignore it!

    Hello.

    My name is ratarsed and I am 73 years of age, old. Hactually my name isn’t really ratarsed, but compared with my given name, ratarsed sounds quite chic.

    My hobbies are stamp collecting (philatulence, I think, is the correct term), watching women’s netball, mastu… (never mind), listening to my George Formby collection and wetting myself.

    My dress code normally consists of braces-held, shiny-arsed trousers worn over an unwashed vest tucked into underpants.

    My social life consists of a giddying range of activities, such as getting pissed, surfing the net for por…ermm, artistic sensual photography portraying human relationships, getting pissed, stalking celebrities and, oh, yes…enjoying a sociable drink.

    Well, that’s about it. I suppose I’m pretty representative of the rest of the posters on here…

    I, on the other hand, am the epitome of amplitude in a woman; I have a generous girth, a generous bosom, a generous nature and an oversized arse, such as might obliterate a small country. I specialise in haphazard cartwheels, complete with the tantalising glimpse of some badly-laundered roomy bloomers, and on a good day I can ingest the entire contents of the local patissiere’s eye-level shelf. I can belch long enought to say “Barney Rubble” and, when I’m not pulling a Planet of the Apes face, I can turn my eyelids inside out.

    Hiya, is this thread for real? If so…..most people on here know me…from Western Canada, animal lover, part-time farming/ranching chick, my favourite love is known on this site as Tractor Man (Duncan thought of this moniker, love it, I do) full time admin assistant….shortish, well maybe not, 5’4″ is not that short. Auburn hair, youthful (I think) late fortyish lady known to be fun loving/local supporter of pub/late night on the street singer. Fondish wish: to be visit U.K. and meet fellow posters. It WILL happen. Promises not kept: to drink Duncan, Saul, Nobblysan, Ratarsed, etc. etc under the table. Good friend: Randi….. where are you, by the way….

    Oh YAY!!! – I remembered my password.

    K, I am me. I can’t introduce myself as randie because (a) that isn’t my name and (b), at the moment I’m not.

    At the moment I’m frazzled. I’d like to say I’m “fraught” but I kinda think if I said that, people out there who don’t know me would think I’m a drama queen because you almost have to say that word with an upper class anglo accent and put “darling” after it. I don’t want to call anyone “darling” at the moment, and I’m no upper-class anglo anyway.

    I am usually as my avatar presents me: serene, calm and placid. Quite introverted and not given to over reaction.

    I am going away tomorrow to Belgium. I am so effing conflicted on whether I should take my laptop that I can’t think straight. I have packed two suitcases and they’re mostly full of shit I won’t even think of wearing over there, but just in case…in it all goes.

    It was suggested to me about an hour ago that if I just take a pair of daps and a couple of changes of knickers, I’ll be ok because I’ll buy stuff over there. I can’t even remember what daps are (were they plimsolls?) and my smaller suitcase if filled-to-busting with pretty things that could qualify as knickers if they went up to my waist and covered nether regions like my nan’s used to.

    But anyway – that’s my introduction.

    I also have a tendency to ramble.

    More later probably in a subject thingy all of its own.

    Hi everyone,

    yesterday I found this site while bloghopping and stopped for a powwow :-D – till your site recognised me as a spam.

    an indian from India; born and bred, now lost in the wildness of ‘the West’ – always a little indian brave, never the big chief, just an other in the tribe.

    I am not a compulsive communicator,
    just a “lost soul swimming in a fish bowl, year after year”,
    thumping the keyboard only in anger.

    this is to say, when the wind blows this way, I too will be visiting your site. and thanks for including me in your bloglinks.

    Konichiwa!

    I am NobblySan.

    I got my name from the inability of a Japanese chap to get his pronunciation muscle wrapped around my surname, much to the amusement of my colleagues.

    For my sins, I live in the North West of England…but would have had to have sinned more than I have to be labelled a Yorkshireman. I’m actually a Cheshire lad by origin, but now live in Lancashire, dangerously near to the border with Yorkshire.

    Age wise, I will admit to being 30+ (30+quite a lot if the truth ever came out, but 30+ will do for now….)

    I earn an honest crust as a Mechanical Designer, with slight managerial tendencies, and also run my own design consultancy in what little spare time I have left in the day.

    If cynicism were something that could be considered a basis for a doctorate, you would almost certainly be more correct in addressing me as Dr.Nobbly. But I do like a bit of a laugh, usually at some bugger else’s expense.

    I have a long suffering wife, two late teenage kids (they were never early for anything…), and we choose to share our cheery little world with three dogs, two cats, two budgies and a horse.

    Hi, I’m a forty-something year old man living in the Western Isles of Scotland. I am married with 2 off-spring, and a wife ( that may not have been needed) I don’t work because I am a lazy barsteward, only joking, I’m a bit disabled, but not telling any more. I like to write poetry, I don’t know if I do like writing poetry, but I just do it anyway, so here is one of my poems, Read On…..

    Sick To Death Of Being Sick To Death

    I’ve had enough of having enough
    With the Credit Crunch and all that stuff
    A penny saved is a penny earned
    A lot more lessons need to be learned

    Sick and tired being sick and tired
    Losing a job is like getting fired
    A woman’s work may never be done
    When she’s out on the town having fun

    So worried at being so worried
    A Murray should never be hurried
    Failing to plan is planning to fail
    Big city bankers going to jail

    Don’t try to walk before you can crawl
    The winner will always take it all
    Empty vessels can make the most noise
    Girls will be girls, and boys will be boys

    Very boring being a big bore
    History repeats itself once more
    Got to stop letting sleeping dogs lie
    Too many fingers, not enough pie

    There is more where that came from. Well gotta go and do something constructive, Cheery…

    Ah, there you are…. you can blame NoseyCow for my infiltration…..

    Introduce myself….. do I have to use previous posts as a guideline?

    Ok, here goes….

    my name is Peter, mostly known as Pete unless you want hospital treatment, single, 50 plus, married centuries ago to a gold digger, luckily all in the past now….. ex just about everything still covered by the OSA ’50 year rule’…
    I had parents up until August ’08 when they decided having a nutter for their eldest son was not on their list of ‘things to do in life’… I joined two other siblings in that catagory….
    Have my own blog on wordpress on which I have some wonderful friends, I use facebook and will be heartily glad when xmas is over and I can ditch the bloody xmas tree,stocking,ornament,gift apps…

    So…. final appraisal….. I’m old, knackered, still have a sense of humour and love online contact……. shoot me now….LOL

      But alas, I am not in France. You are quite astute. If life is a journey, than France would be my final destination. Or it was the name of a Rock & Roll band I was in once, whatever.

      I don’t think hate quite encompasses my whole feelings towards Rob. But I could have a longwinded blog title like “The subtle hypnotic impressions that Robert J’s gut gives off when he laughs makes me wish I was blind, blog.”

    As for dragging Robert outback & beating him to death goes… I’ve thought about it, many times, but I’d like to see this resolved though causes outside my influence.

    Originally my blog was intended to be a log of personal growth in the work place. But being a hater lets me write more interesting stories.

      So, deathinfrance…
      is your despised Robert J the same as Robert J aka Fundamental Jelly? He seems delightful…
      I hope not, I might have to come over to where-ever you are and take you out! I’m getting kind fond of FJ…..

        LOVE your blog, btw. Please keep up the great work!

    Hi, found you in some round about way here… blog to blog to blog.
    I’m in the US of A, a 54 year old single woman writing an anonymous blog.. I’ve been accused of writing about penises too much but seem to have gotten over that- for now. I write about whatever strikes my fancy.. with no regrets.. great when no one knows who you really are.
    Am loving all the varied people out there.. and can’t wait to get better acquainted with the Madhatters.

      Hi NM

      A single main column theme works fine for blogs that put up one post a day, but with sites like frigginloon and the madhatters that put up several posts each day there is a danger some posts may be missed because visitors to the site don’t scroll down far enough.

      A two-column theme like this makes a lot more posts visible on the one page.

    BTW I live in South Wales having come back to my roots after 6 yrs in London and 23 yrs in
    Jersey looking after other peoples money. As well as being computer illiterate I am not at all
    artistic, although I appreciate Art, I enjoy travel, reading, crosswords, discussions on various

    I love this blog–this is the first one I’ve ever seen in which the “about” section is for readers to introduce themselves!

    I notice the term, “pissed”, is used above–I’ll bet I’m one of only a few American readers who knows “pissed” means “drunk” in the U.K. (not “angry”, as it does here)! I’ve always been fascinated by these differences in terms, generally introduced to me through British men’s magazines (which lead me to believe your country has the highest concentration of exquisitely beautiful women in the world)!

    Here are some others I’ve learned (please correct me if I’ve gotten any incorrectly)!

    In the U.K.,

    A “fag” is a “cigarette”!
    “TV” stands for “transvestite”!
    “Biscuits” are “cookies”!
    “Chips” are “French fries”!
    “Potato crisps” are “potato chips”!
    A “flat” is an “apartment”!
    A “mate” is a “friend”!
    “Tele” is “television”!
    You “ring” someone on the phone, you don’t “call”!
    “Taking the piss” is “drinking” (alcohol)!

    And there are many more of such differences!

      Hi Scott, welcome to the madhatters

      Most of your examples are correct but -

      ‘taking the piss’ means making fun out of someone

      Other examples you quote have dual meanings, e.g. -

      ‘TV ‘ also means television

      “flat’ also means a puncture

      When I lived in Canada, words that caught me out were -

      fanny – US/Canada = arse, UK = vagina

      pants – US/Canada = trousers, UK = underwear

      rubbers – US/Canada = condoms, UK = plimsoles

      and many more !!! :lol:

    Hello, I’m stickybud, and I’m a criminal.

    I’ve been hanging around this site for a few months, so it’s a bit late to be introducing myself. Still, etiquette survives in one form or another, I suppose.

    I had an alter ego, but he was killed in action during a surveillance operation. Still, the least said about that the better. I think my new identity is bearing up – I don’t think a particular character has caught on yet. Probably curled up in the shade of a minaret, wheezing and slobbering in an inebriated mess…

    I write ‘pomes’ occasionally – you may find them scattered across the site in random twists of glee and absurdity. Sometimes they are deadly serious. Because I am, essentially, angry.

    My name? You know those dry seed seed pods that stick to your clothes, using little hooks? (Inspiration for ‘Velcro’, by the way). Well, where I come from*, they are called ‘stickybuds’. But that’s not how I got my name.

    Although I have lived in the SE of England for the past 33 years, I am from Yorkshire*. NOBBLY! NO! STOP! SOMEBODY RESTRAIN HIM, WILL YOU…..

      Incidentally, Sticky; I’ve almost admitted defeat in correcting ‘your/you’re’ and ‘their/there/they’re’ situations. It’s a bit like trying to stop Duncan using American spellings….. a lost cause.

      Oh, just to stay in character…… “hic, burp”

    Hi, I hate all bloggers, especially the bluddy fucken arsewholes who use bad language, for example journalist’s who knead advice on where to stick their fucken apostrophe’s, and who woudnt know a subjunctive case if they was found guilty of it.
    Which is why I hang around here I guess.

    Oh yeah, and I’m a Kiwi who’s been stuck in Australia for a number of years, and I’ve got the accent down pat, so most of them don’t even realise I’m the enemy in their midst

    Hi eva

    Hope you don’t mind me calling you that – eva626 sounds way too formal !

    Btw, sorry for the delay in saying ‘hello’ – was trying to find out who the bloody hell is Ted Allen :wink:

    Hello Eva and welcome, please excuse the boys – I have tried unsuccesfully over a few years to TRY and teach them manners – I think I may have to resort to the whips ‘n chains :grin: (Oh & P.S. if you really want to get Nobbles going – ALWAYS remember to put a couple of these ;-) yellow blobs into your posts – HE LOVES THEM)

      Ha, we’re a lazy, dis-organised bunch of admins.

      There’s no plan. Sometimes there’ll be one or more of us around. Other times there’ll be no-one.

      It doesn’t matter, however, because we do the bare minimum of ‘admin’ on this site

      Once we’ve pulled your 1st comment out of WordPress’s moderation queue, you’re free to go.

      We don’t edit, or delete anyone’s comments. Everyone is free to write whatever they want here. It’s total freedom of expression. You can cuss us out (there’s no name you can call us that we haven’t already heard from our partners or each other :lol: ), agree or disagree with us. It doesn’t matter. We won’t pull any of your comments. We originally met on another blog that was very heavily moderated so when we set up MadHatters we determined we would have none of that here! :lol:

      You’ll never be a noobie. You’re too bloody old.

      I’ve let you out of moderation – it looks like your fancy new email address had put you in there.

      You still following LFC?

      Ha!

      It’s good to see you again… and to get a bit of good old banter going. I miss all that stuff, and having ditched my FB account (I got pissed off with all the trivial shite that got posted and then fawned over….) there is nowhere to swap idle insults and witticisms with other like-minded pillocks.

    I wondered where you’d gone Nobbly, but I know what you mean. I only use it really to keep in touch with daughter in Bokkieland.

    So, where in here can I spout my shite and banter ……. and where the hell is my coffee?!!!

    We ditched the ‘Daily Chat’ section some time ago as it seemed to be confusing some people (How…FFS!), but I may reinstate it if there’s a need for somewhere to swap idle chat.

    Great men don’t need grand introductions. Their words and actions speak for themselves… as will mine. My name is Sic but you’re free to call me whatever you wish.

      “Whatever you wish.” That’s a lot to tap out every time I respond to a post.

      So, as far as I’m concerned, you’re Sic.

    As I’m fairly new to these parts, would it be temeritous of me to suggest…
    A kind of “Hall of Fame” menu (though not called that). How about “Lest We Forget” ?
    I think it would look quite nice instead of up there beside the Waffle and Shite menu.
    And whenever Nobbly or someone posts something that has us rolling helpless on the floor, we can nominate the comment for inclusion.

    I nominate Nobbly’s “Cork man gets stuck into bottle of wine. ‘What he needs is a screw’, says thirsty wino.” comment.
