THREAD NECROMANCY ALERT. So, eleven years after someone suggesting that this was a thing, I am using WhatsApp, because someone has added me to a chat group of the mums in D’s class. But it turns out a long, long time ago, when I set it up, I decided to put ‘Womble’ as my name and now 19 mums think my name is Womble. |

Go to the main Whatsapp page (the one with the chats in it) and down at the bottom hit settings (the cog wheel at the far right) - at the top should be your picture and name - click on it and you can change the picture / name / and whatever else you want Hit the chat icon (speech bubbles second from the right) to get back to the chat view Remember(*) to ask surprised when someone calls you a womble *member member what a womble womble womble you are |

At some point it gets embarassing to ask. |

So yeah, that was my introduction I’ve changed it in the settings now, and asked for everyone to do a ‘Hi I’m _______, and I’m _________’s mum/dad/grandad’ type post just so that I could tell them my actual name (and see who belongs to which child) . |

Also, I clicked through to the co tact’s page to see what the deal was, and everyone’s bio says things like ‘I love my family’ and mine just says ‘Captain Barnacles’. I left that, though. |

Is that a Hydra logo on his hat? |
Author: | Mimi [ Wed Jan 26, 2022 11:41 ] |
Post subject: | Re: whatsapp |
He’s the captain of the Octonauts, who have their headquarters in the Octopod, so it’s likely an octopus. |

Of course the Hydra logo is famously also an Octopus. Which doesn't make any bloody sense really |

Oh, I thought you meant a logo of a hydra, apologies. I googled Hydra logo and see it’s a comic series, I think. One of the suggested results when I just Googled was this: |

I have for a couple of years been going to the pub with a bunch of dads from the school, very nice bunch of chaps. I have no idea what most of their surnames are so in my phone contacts they are named things like Andrew FromSchool. When Andrew noticed this somehow, he seemed a bit nonplussed (possibly even a little hurt) that I'd givwn him such a generic label, and tried to make fun of it. I didn't have the heart to tell him that for a long time I had to keep asking my wife what his name was as all I could remember was 'the tall kinda funny guy from the pub'. I am really not good with names, luckily my wife has much better recall. |

We used to live next door to a woman named Kate, so I have her stored in my phone as ‘Kate next door’. We moved a year ago, and our new next door neighbour is called Kate, and I immediately saved her number in my phone as ‘Kate next door’ without thinking. |
