I'll post here tomorrow again when I'm changing to the next thing - but I'm not telling which one it'll be yet

Exactly what I was thinking Joey.

Also, if it makes any difference, the name is still the same in the drop down menu in the beta skin. Not bothered, just saying.

Just noticed the name change myself, and was jauntily informing my wife that our son must have played a trick on me. Nice one.:D

I'm a 21 year old male who likes movies and rainy days. I want to meet like minded people for friendship and more.

Men need not apply except for OutlawPete. He's a bit of alright.

I was thinking of changing my user name to Sgt. Pepper to go with this, but decided to stick with Beasty in the end.

Anyway - the real reason I chose this name was I was thinking of all of you AH fanatics having to post in a Lonely Hearts Forum for a day

Yippee - this is my 1,000th post

Don't you remember? You offered €500 for it to be renamed the "Lip Suckers" Forum.
