A dead cert would be; The Life and Works of Jilly Cooper.

So if there was a degree in Mumsnet what would you put on the syllabus?

Mmm liking MamaG and the Art of Profanity.

Cod spotting is a basic skill though; What about; Cod: A Retrospective - is all her best work behind her?

I actually don't know how to name change. I don't think I'd even be admitted to the degree, would I?

Can I offer an elective, which will be taken up by three people, two of whom will drop out once they realise it's still got assigned homework?

You could combine subjects so fr'instance AIBU with Applied Snobbery and Friday Afternoon Drinking. Friday Afternoon Drinking and One Handed Playdough Modelling? Friday Afternoon drinking could combine with most subjects.
