Hiya!
I've just caught up with last nights posts and let me say LOL!
I bet if you actually heard me speak you'd be surprised

I of course sound British but I don't really sound 'Yorkshire' which is where I am from... most people around here say I sound 'too posh' whatever that means!!
When I was a CM three American families and even one British family asked me if I was Australian!
LOL
Anyways, I wonder what it is about my posts that brings out the Britishness... by jove
Helenabear - Oh and "rude" me will ask this of you Gaspode, do you have a first name or nickname different to your user name that you like to be called by? Of course being once very shy about giving out my real name I won't be offended if you tell me to stuff it
Of course not rude of you to ask! I was actually surprised none of you had seen my piccy before, I posted on that thread and on the 'Getting to know you' thread (and on the 'How did you meet your SO' thread) and I'm pretty sure most of these said that my real name is: Melissa
Gaspode is the name of a talking dog (okay, so I admit it!) from my favourite series of books the Discworld by Terry Pratchett. When I was 14 and first started using the internet I entered Gaspode (my fav character) as a handle in a chat room and it has stuck ever since (most of the friends I have met on the internet refer to me as Gaspode even when we are meeting in person and I've known them for years!)
Feel free to call me whatever you want, just *not* Mary Poppins!!!!
Cya,
Gaspode (aka Melissa!)
