    User name change

    CBU, please explain to Sweepy why he can't change his username to "Red Square". Many thanks.

    What can I change it to then, squire? There I was thinking you would've been delighted to change it. Wouldn't have been the same as completely getting rid of me, but the next best thing.
    Can't wait for season 2012/13 already!!!

    Because I've lost the stick I use to wake the kraken for the changeling ceremony. Can't wake the kraken at the moment, I've tried playing that LMFAO record at top volume but even that's not working.

    It simply can't be done.

    Choose wisely new gpgers
    that would be an ecumenical matter...

    Actually this is a frequently asked question isn't it. I'll consult the oracles and prepare a full response for the FAQ page.

    I may be sounding stupid, but what is wrong with Red Square?

    In the spirit of compromise, may I suggest that Sweepy change his avatar, possibly to something red and square, or even to something called Basil?

    Ok, it's got nought to do with compromise, I just find oversized smilies rather irritating.

    Oh well, if it's something to do with the fact that the well-known phrase "Red Square" is also now a commercial product, I'm going to have to think of something else. Suggestions most welcome.... and, no, "C***" is not a legitimate suggestion.

    I don't think the internet universe would be happy for me to dispense with one obnoxious sock-puppet username in favour of another. But I'm liking 'Susan' a lot. In an ironic way, it might just work. I need more thinking time on that one. We do have to take into account that our lordship may reject some of these as well for unspecified reasons, I need to keep my underworked thinking cap on.

    What about 'Red Susan'?
    It sounds like a militant shop steward with self esteem issues.

    Militant? Self esteem issues? Certainly fits! The shop steward bit is a work in progress. Having thought about it, I'm still not sure about using birds' names.

    The idea is I want something that's Brentford-like. So I'm looking for a name with 'bee' or 'red' in it. Then maybe a poll to settle it? No choice over shirts but choice over what name to inflict me with

    What about that local restaurant that sponsors the PG goal announcements?

    I think the GPG is legendary enough for its identity to transcend the ground move.

    I've had 'Bee Flat' suggested to me, which although musical sounds a bit, er, flat. But I can't really think of anything better.

    Anything's worth a try. I've got a lot of getting round the master to do But actually I do honestly believe that the very use of the words Griffin Park in a post-move GPG would be like a monument to the old girl.

    And I have to say, you've f---ing nailed it there, Tree. I like 'Beepy' a lot. A subtle change that works on me. We have Swe(e)bees already though. They might not be on the GPG but we definitely have some Swedish followers!
