So it seems that the guys over on pistonheads are laughing at mumsnetters:

Feel free to see what they are saying here:

Lol I've never heard of Pistonheads but they seem to have as much to say about Mumsnet as Mumsnet has to say about Netmums...though no doubt some people will still be bothered by this thread Grin

I couldn't give a shiny shite to be honest, but judging buy the furore that hilarious Irish comedian caused, this thread won't go down well.

does netmums hate us? who started it?

Beaverfeaver · 26/10/2011 15:47

i didnt know netmums hated mumsnet

i only was looking on pistonheads just to have a bit of a laugh as some of the guys on there talk a right load of b*ocks, and makes me chuckle.

also good for car advise too.

I like Pistonheads. Often if I'm googling for something a thread on their website comes up and there is often some informative stuff on there. Off to see what they're saying about us now!

SixStringWidow · 26/10/2011 15:50
Grin

they have a great vomit emoticon!

They say a mooncup is just a soggy tampon Grin

Forum Rivalry, that's a first (for me anyway)

Does this really go on? They kept referring to invasions I'd laugh my arse off at anyone from any site who invaded another.

YaMaYaMa · 26/10/2011 15:51

I am calling out anyone on pistonheads.Outside. NOW.

(fight fight fight)

I have never heard of pistonheads and havent clicked on link. I just want a ruck.

TheVermiciousKnid · 26/10/2011 15:52

They do seem rather scared of Mumsnet. Grin

Beaverfeaver · 26/10/2011 15:54

Oh, I dare someone to post-

"Dear Heads,

My Range Rover is making a terribly awful rattling sound and I can't for the life of me find out what it is?

Would love some help darlings, as all of Tarquins' friends are giving me a funny look when pulling out of the prep school car park after choir practice.

MN is about being human, Pistonheads is about... cars.
nuff said.

crazynannawitchbitch · 26/10/2011 16:01

Why does their forum name make me keep saying "piss on their heads"? [confused}

DooinMeCleanin · 26/10/2011 16:02

Mwahahahahahahaha!

'Because their spelling and grammar is awful.'

Fiercelydoesit · 26/10/2011 16:02

Piston heads rofl. What do you think their equivalent Aibu should be titled?

VivaLeBeaver · 26/10/2011 16:03

I'm concerned they seem to think that Netmums is edgier.

To be fair they do have a point about some of the mentalist threads on here. I don't think they realise is that often we're the first to tell other posters if they are totally bonkers.

Fiercelydoesit · 26/10/2011 16:05

AIBU to immediately conjure up Alan Partridge when I think of Pistonheads?

AVoidkaTheKillerZombies · 26/10/2011 16:05

Spelling and grammar is awful??

They must be confused surely.

crazynannawitchbitch · 26/10/2011 16:08

YY the 'spelling and grammar' comment confused me,too,as I have been flamed loads of times for my bad grammar Hmm

Beaverfeaver · 26/10/2011 16:11

Someone on there is claiming to be me! Find that quite funny.

He wont find it very funny if he realises that my posts are about pregnancy and stuff

Ah bugger, they're not accepting posts from new members today due to persistant abuse earlier. Spoilsports.

Problem for them is - there is a lot more of us than there are of them. So if they want to start a trolling war I think we'd win hands down. A point I guess their mods have realised hence banning the new posters. Never mind, I can save my registration for next time.

Beaverfeaver · 26/10/2011 16:14

I am quite upset that they are laughing at me :(

OP posts:
Fiercelydoesit · 26/10/2011 16:15

No new posters allowed today? What a bunch of girls . . .

TheVermiciousKnid · 26/10/2011 16:17

Don't worry, Beaverfeaver, it's a nervous laugh...

What a shame that they don't accept new registrations today. They really do seem to be worried. Grin
