to be new to Mumsnet and slightly dissapointed that I have not yet witnessed a 'bunfight'

loonies If you want to witness one at a distance (but it won't be "live" I'm afraid) then pick some of the P&T parking threads or breast v bottle, at random.

[StealthPoHoHoHo]

there is one brewing no doubt
hasn't been one for a while
although does the step parent one not count?

[VinegarTits]

fuckoff newbie

[ProfYaffle]

Check out any thread in aibu with 100+ posts.

hth.

[ShirleyKnot]

that step parent one is shaping up to be a farking car crash.

I've stepped back, it's all too CROSS

You cow-bag

But not the IPOAT thread. that is long but we love each other

< throws in a quiche >

[SkippyjonJones]

If you go into Education and say somthing rude about private schools that usually kicks something off. [mmmm I like a bit of quiche]

[AMumInScotland]

Shall I turn this thread into one by criticising your spelling? Then we can turn it into a "Why are the pedants being cruel to newbies?" rant, quickly followed by a "Things aren't what they used to be", then a dredging up of the Moldies issue?

Or as above, try education - anything provocative about how all private school parents are snobs, or all state school parents are chavs should get things going nicely

It's too cold to throw buns and not eat them. Have snaffled 2 currant buns today already. Think am about to start hibernating.

Um, what step parent thread??

[AMumInScotland]

www.mumsnet.com/Talk/_chat/1078810-How-doyou-feel-about-step-parents-referring-to-a-childs-mother-as-bm-or-birth-mother either this one or the one that spawned it - the other is presumably in stepparenting, which I have hidden!

[MmeLindt]

Not yet a bun fight, but the Ed Miliband should get married has potential. There has been namecalling. I am doing by best to calm everyone down by offering lavendel scented head massages. There is also creme de menthe and pinapple/cheese hedgehogs on offer.

Will have a look at the stepparents thread.

[ethelina]

Stop throwing buns its such a waste!

[ethelina]

? Ed Miliband? who cares? Linky please so i can throw sprouts there...

[AbsofCroissant]

Yes, Ed Miliband one, which I'm sure is a deliberate wind-up. Then there is one about wearing make-up in chat, but that's dissolving into a discussion about LeQueen's sheets.

[ProfYaffle]

Sprouts? Delicious?

[ethelina]

You can have mine then - here catch!

[jybay]

A bun-fight is a party with not enough food to go round and not an argument. Not sure I can be arsed to get all though.
