hello!

Tim told me to introduce myself and as the webmaster he must be obeyed!
I'm cat, some of you may have come across me on the I.O.W. trip (or photos likewise) and i know tim through the quiz at the Farmer on a sunday which we've all been gleefully attending for a v.long time now. He also happens to be one of my best mates boyfriends now - how DID that happen? Anyway, feel free to say hi and introduce yourselves to me cos I'm clueless about who everyone on here is!

Re:hello!

Hi cat, I'm going to get very confused now because I'm Cat too.. you might see me called Cati on occasion though. Or sunnie, that might be less confusing

Re:hello!

Good, good! Well, I'm a catherine really but cat is soooo much easier. How come you're sunnie? Sorry, gettin nosey already, only been here 5 mins!

Re:hello!

someone online gave me the sunshine nickname, and it's been shortened to sunny/sunnie over the years. Cat's short for Catrin

Re:hello!

That's sweet! you have much more right than i do to be called cat then seein as your name actually says 'cat' in it - mine is cath really. However, i hate bein called that!

Sunshine's picture

Re:hello!

your name says cat as much as mine does besides, Catrin is simply the welsh for catherine

Re:hello!

You welsh then my lovely, is it?

Sunshine's picture

Re:hello!

lol, not at all There's some welsh blood way back down the line but I'm not sure where (my surname is Allen-Williams, how more welsh could you get)

Re:hello!

Ha ha!
I am however of welsh blood, not way back but directly - 4 welsh grandparents, 1 parent born in England as i was. My middle name is sian but as for my surname i don't think thats very welsh at all...brookfield?

Sunshine's picture

Re:hello!

lol, that's pretty direct my grandparents are all mostly english (there's a bit of french floating round). Sian's a nice name

Re:hello!

Thanks! I quite like it but being my middle name it doesn't see the light of day usually. We have french back there somewhere too - do you think the french and welsh had some kind of thang goin on back in the day?!

Sunshine's picture

Re:hello!

well, they both seem to hate the english... maybe that's got something to do with it

Re:hello!

does that mean people who are english-welsh cross hate themselves? (or english-french cross) has anyone done analysis into relation between self-loathing and ancestry?

Sunshine's picture

Re:hello!

suggest it to a sociology student. It could be a dissertation subject

Can someone check and see if my comment on the whole 'toast' issue has worked this time?
If it hasn't I am missing messages 1 and 8. D'oh!

Sunshine's picture

Re:hello!
