Oh how I miss it when we all had fun, no one was serious, no one was stupid, no one ever did anything I didn't want them to do!! Oh wasn't it wonderful!

Er is this a joke? A comment perhaps on the regular moans and comments that 'mn is different now!'?

It's always been a wonderful mix, in my experience Smile

I don't know, I've only been on since 2007 and don't remember it ever being like that. Before my time, perhaps? Hmm

I miss the days before you had to put 'lighthearted' in thread titles.

I have been here since T rexes stormed asda the earth and I have been here since wasps on the windowsill were, erm, stinging. I have been here forever!! And never before have I known a mumsnet like it.

I am the ghost of Christmas mumsnet past and I intend to show you the mumsnet of Christmases bygone to make you all change your ways!

No! You are wrong, why, mumsnet was once a land of hope and glory and no one ever fell out and it was funny and it was light hearted!!

And now - now, it is different. It is a hollow cold lonely grave!!

I do think it's funny that you have to put 'lighthearted' in the thread title

Lightup, T-rexing in Asda was only in 2012 www.mumsnet.com/Talk/am_i_being_unreasonable/1498923-Shouting-at-me-in-the-supermarket - so that's, um, only three years ago.

OP you are only remembering the good bits. Sorry but it hasn't changed that much.

So the popular 'Nest of Vipers' moniker was just meant affectionately then?

Ah but much has changed in those three years! Why, the complaints about mumsnet are as thick and as fast as netmums speeding custard so it must be true!!

Perhaps we could have a collection so those with the sticks up their arses can have them removed privately rather than waiting for the nhs? Any money left over could go towards sense of humour training.

Should I add lighthearted?!!

I think you'd better, Glen. Or you'll get lots of abuse for not taking the plight of those unfortunate enough to be afflicted with sticks up their arse seriously.

You'll still get abuse, but at least you tried

It's certainly provocative to put 'lighthearted' in the title; you could chuck in a question to the girls about goats and bog brushes just to make sure you have a full set...

It was a right hoot on here OP, you're right.

Some mean bastards too just like now, but some right funny ones as well.
