It's always the same when Barty-Bub starts a thread! (assuming that's what what you mean). He should be asked to shorten his username or the column should be widened to take account of long silly names.

Furthermore, I couldn't help noticing............
Nobody messages me, Lorna is normally offline or drunk and TrickyPony or Wells don't seem to speak to me anymore :roll:

I did PM him, however he didn't care to PM me back.

Therefore I have shortened his name for him. I'm sure he'll realise when he logs in next.

I'm sure I did reply to your PM. I said I wasn't prepared to change my name.

THIS IS AN OUTRAGE.

How DARE you change my username :mad:

I DEMAND that my username be restored at once.

I'm not sure whether to side with "Bart" and say that changing his name is unfair (after all, if long names aren't to be allowed there should be a limit on the username registration field) or to egg Hyma on to change it all the way to "Ba Be"

But then I HAVE had a drink....
