Good evening Mme Mountford. You are becoming terribly famous and spoken about!!!

By poodlepusher on Sat 10-May-08 18:20:56

yes, I definitely am overeacting. Its a hot day and I've just read this phrase and lost it a bit.

By MargaretMountford on Sat 10-May-08 18:20:53

yes, spits and spots is vert twee

By ipanemagirl on Sat 10-May-08 18:20:07

People think, live and speak i cliches... it's clearly comforting. But once you have a pet hate it's abhorrent.

My latest hate is when weather people say;

"SPITS AND SPOTS OF RAIN'

That makes me want to throw the telly/radio out of the window.

By MargaretMountford on Sat 10-May-08 18:19:30

um, maybe you are overreacting a tad ! things do genuinely make my eyes prickle if they're sad or moving

By poodlepusher on Sat 10-May-08 18:18:16

that constipated phrase

I HAVE TEARS IN MY EYES

WTF? Can't people say they're moved or touched or affected by something without having to crank out this image the whole time as some kind of inadequate substitute?

I find it sounds really insincere

urghhhh!

Message

Emphasis: To bold a word, surround it with asterisks, so *hello* will display hello. For underline use _ , so _hello_ gives hello. For italics use ^, so ^hello^ gives hello. To strike out a word, surround it with two hyphens either side, so --dog-- gives dog

Links and smileys: To insert a smiley face,

, type [smile] or :)
For a big grin,

, type [grin] or :o
For a wink,

, type [wink]
For a shocked face,

, type [shock]
For an angry face,

, type [angry]
For an embarrassed face,

, type [blush]
For a sad face,

, type [sad] or :(
For an envious face,

, type [envy]

Links The simplest way to insert a link is to enter the link itself, surrounded by [[ and ]]. So if you type [[www.mumsnet.com]], the link will display as http://www.mumsnet.com. If you want your link to display text other than the web address itself, leave a space after the address then add the text before the ]]. So "Look at [[www.mumsnet.com this page]]", would display "Look at this page".
