Cassandra is one of my favourite names, but I cannot get the Greek myth out of my head. A woman who was SA'd be Apollo (I think?) who then was given the curse of prophecy but no-one would believe her.

Aye, same with Leda, keep her away from the swans in the local park for god's sake.
The swan was Zeus in disguise wasn’t he?
When a man shows you he’s a swan the first time, believe him.
Isn't her son called Apollo? Obviously a fan of Greek history and/or myths!
Zeus was a monster!
Not mumsnet but a similar vein on Facebook. This picture was posted to reassure someone about their child's tooth that had cracked and you couldn't tell the difference 
.
Also discussion on a different thread from someone asking advice about how to get their 5 year old sleeping in his own bed. Usual rubbish about why can't you give him cuddles, he just wants to be close to you etc, bet they all have au pairs who deal with the night times!

lol you couldn't make this up..
"Both I and my stbx are a good weight and both do on average 3 sessions of fitness or sport every week. There are rarely ready meals in the house (and DD doesnt like those), not a lot of cake or biscuits, only occasional crisps and sugary drinks, takeaways are no more than once a week and pizza is always home made, and we buy only the most middle-class chocolate. The only member of family who is notably over weight she only sees a couple of times a year, and no one around her is a fitness evangelist. You couldn't model a much more balanced eating and exercise life."

I met a baby Beverley the other day
A friend of mine was an amateur photographer and was invited along to a local NCT group to take some photos and met a baby Ptolemy! Which may be the most pretentious baby name I’ve ever heard.
Only if they have the middle names Phil and Grant.
I once had a client with a daughter Chanel, but when I came to complete documents turns out she was spelling it Channel
I met a toddler Aldous a few years ago, (funnily enough his mum was called Hero). All I could think was that I bet his mates at school shorten it to ALDI.
Oh I used to work with an Aldous. He wasn’t a toddler though…
Bit like some of the patients in Broadmoor, so quirky isn't she
This, IME, is the sure sign of a badly-executed marketing campaign by someone who hasn't understood the brief.This made me laugh, someone was obsessed with jowls on the 23 of October
As you can see I clicked on two of them to see what it was all about. It was all about jowls from different usernames!

What are middle class chocolates? Do they have less calories and sit judging the boxes of Milk Tray on the shelf next to them?
A friend of mine who‘s husband is a bit of a pretentious twit decided that they would call their firstborn Heracles. Fortunately, they were persuaded out of it.
Greek deities were probably not the people to take dating advice from, I reckon XD Wrong'uns the lot of them!
