My ds went to a birthday party yesterday and he told me the mum gave them all a penguin aswell as a party bag, I had a little giggle to myself

And wondered is she a mumsnetter?

I was in Tesco this morning and Penguins were on special offer - I did have a little smile to myself!

This has kept me entertained for hours - this is by far the best MN thread I have ever read.

Did you send him that oenguin t-shirt Shiney??

ItsMargotBeaurEGGarde · 11/04/2009 18:35

He won't twig so long as you keep using your old phone. Why would he think you had two phones.

i think you're right not to tell him shiney. He'd be flattered by it, thinking you were jealous and hurt he wanted to see other women.

He wouldn't GET that he was trying to limit your options by telling YOU to be exclusive!!

I think you should dump him saying nothing, but take him down a peg!! Tell him you're just not attracted enough to be exclusive as he wants.

You don't want him to come out of this with a tale to tell his mates, I upset a girl who was really keen on me and she turned into a boiler, concocted this whole plan etc etc...

Good for you btw, this thread and the last thread have taken me an hour to read, but it has been an hilarious hour.

oooh Shiney I have thought of another thing you can say when dumping him that might make him scratch his head:

"I'm never sure what to make of you. It's like . . . you're neither fish nor fowl."

BottySpottom · 11/04/2009 16:10

Shineon - would love to know if he has been back in touch?

Jackaroo · 11/04/2009 13:10

and there was I going by your superior knowledge.. Jillaroo

(sorry for the hijack everyone else)

Jackaroo · 11/04/2009 13:04

Jackaroo is a jilaroo, but til I got here I didn't know there was a jilaroo.. maybe I should change my moniker!

We could set up an Aussie site, but I get my fix of "English" on here, so I'd still be torn!!

oldraver · 11/04/2009 12:04

Shiney..... did he use dating sites ?? and if yes I wonder if his mates knew. I reckon he will always think it was one of them as it a very 'boys working/living together' thing.

heyvick · 11/04/2009 09:40

amendment ,,,,,,, Jilaroo should have read JILLAROO

heyvick · 11/04/2009 09:26

Hmmm Jackaroo, perhaps we need to get an Aussie site up and running? . A question, is Jackaroo a Jilaroo, or really a Jackaroo? heehee

I think everyone else is just asleep Hey ... just us in the antipodes who are still cruising around .......

Wish this had been around when I was in dating mode - I'd have had a list for Esselle to sort out

heyvick · 11/04/2009 06:26

hmmmmmmmmm, well that's gone thru ok. Are you all still asleep??? lol

heyvick · 11/04/2009 06:25

Heyvick is just trying something here.........kerryy was having problems with the thread after doing a post this morning, and I've been having trouble all day as well since making a posting myself.

The last posting that I can see is

By elfinblast Sat 11-Apr-09 02:26:57
Drat! I'd of happily watched it again. I switched to sky+ and watched Gordon Ramsey and some cockroaches. hmm

I find it hard to believe that there wouldn't be any more postings since then.

Of course, if this posting goes thru ok, I'm probably not going to be able to see it anyway lol, but was hoping somebody could check for kerryy and me, to see if there is a problem?

Thanks, heyvick

OldLadyKnowsNothing · 11/04/2009 01:43

Fair enough, elfinblast, it's just that they showed that episode tonight.

elfinblast · 11/04/2009 01:41

Should also mention that the Series 8 with scutter was a limited edition....yes I am that geeky

elfinblast · 11/04/2009 01:40

no OldLady, I only watched the new one tonight. I am a smeg head of old and proudly display my DVD collection (including the not so good series 8 box-set with free scutter toy)

kerryy · 11/04/2009 01:34

Hi heyvick and all, I couldn't stay awake any longer, eyes were bulging lol.
Well done shiny tiger, and way sucked in knobjockey.

OldLadyKnowsNothing · 11/04/2009 01:23

Who's just been watching Red Dwarf reruns on Dave?

elfinblast · 11/04/2009 01:12

Well, I have been glued to these threads for the past couple of days and I have to say that I think Shiney and Tiger are very cruel.
Do you know what happens to people like you? Yes, people who make penguin jokes at sad lonely men.

I'll tell you....
