I STILL would like to know if anyone knows anything about Ozzie cupcakes.


which is why I started this thread!


I feel certain that I saw her posting about 4 or 6 weeks ago.

Thanks Errol - second cup already sitting in front of me.

Thanks for that Roy - much appreciated.

SueMaid - no offence intended whatsoever but apologies if you mistook it to be - it always takes me a gallon of coffee before I completely come round.

It's 6.41am here. I've just popped onto the computer with my morning cup of coffee. I haven't had anything to do with Ozzy Cupcakes nor seen the avatar. I merely asked a simple question and I'm treated as if I'm a halfwit. I do see now what this thread is about but give me a break.

Sue

I think we are all confused, much to the amusement of others!

I don't think there is a secret agenda. People were commenting on a strange "coincidence" and I was commenting in general terms.
I certainly did not intend to come across as sarcastic but was interested and bemused by how something like that could happen "by accident".

Having the same board name is possibly just coincidence but to then change your avatar to that of another member of the same board name is premeditated and obviously done either to deceive or in order to court controversy


No surprises there then

Well no I wasn't but as I have just come into the conversation and am also rather stupid I didn't pick up on anyone having a secret agenda. I certainly didn't expect a sarcastic comment from Errol.

Strange that thread from last year appeared back on the boards yesterday...and new avatar today....very odd

I'm starting to worry someone might steal mine :-D :-D

especially when you have been helped by earlier references to the similarity of name.

eRRolSheep

eRRolSheep Report 31 Jul 2013 21:23

oh yes I see what you mean.

Accidentally pick both the identical boardname out of millions of combinations of letters and identical avatar out of millions of images available on the internet.

I suppose it is a bit like monkeys, typewriters and Shakespeare really.

SueMaid

SueMaid Report 31 Jul 2013 21:19

But what if it was done by accident?

I find it pointless,pathetic and childish myself.

TootyFruity is quite right about names - and there are other ways of doing it too.

I agree about calling a person's motives into question if they use the same name and the same avatar as another although, again, I am of course not singling out any one person.
