Fed up of the cuts? Fed up of the mislead bigotry? This is your sanctuary. Unwind. Vent. Pop over to the frothers thread if you feel like getting organised and doing some proactive stuff or just chill out with a cup of builders tea in a polystyrene cup.

Welcome.

Agree Peachy.

I'm having a day off and hiding anything more controversial than "Will this dummy make my baby a pervert?"

Hully, if Snot is appreciated these days, I can send you DD3? She's had a runny nose for weeks now and I'm getting ver' ver' tired of the snot..

Maybe I should start a thread saying @I am on meds, and I claim some benefits; you can come and bash me becuase I am chemically immune, look here I am, come get meeeeee' and fraw off the hounds.

Life is too short.

A spoof claimant thread might annoy a few- why should I leave this house, it's near Waitrose and I ike having two spare bedroom for my fine wine collection etc- but somehow not worth it. This lot have had a SOH bypass.

Hullygully · 26/01/2012 09:28

yy Mary.

Maybe we need a Let Us Be Reasonable thread...

Peachy · 26/01/2012 09:28

Hully, when I sent my message from Maypole to MNHQ they said 'how rooood'

Funny how it works one way for some and not the others eh?

And yes Hunty, they have smelled your blood. There are loads I am sure of non-posting lurkers reading our posts and learning, they are the proper floating voters (who can't even commit to pressing 'send') but the ones who post there have clogged their ears with cotton wool and are shouting lalalalalalala I worked harder than you very loudly. Now, when they can't find a local Nanny under £10ph because wages WILL match living costs in an area, and the ones posting that they a re on MW find that the area has had to take an influx of 100 thousand- what? refugees?0 and they can;t get a GP appointment or school place- they will shout nobody warned meeeeeee... but we did.

But take it from the Queen of the syndrome, hanging yourself out to dry is NOT going to help you. IN fact there becomes - just IME- a point whre it gets to be almost a point of self flagellation and a symptom of extremely low self esteen and if that is the case for anyone they need to see a GP because that was the signs that preceeded me almost breaking down permanently- had my GP not had a mate with ASD kids and so understood, I;d have been placed in a MH centre I am certain. Nobody else should risk that.

Hullygully · 26/01/2012 09:27

I did say I had only started two in the face of 400 basher threads. To be fair, I think they are just fed up with all the complaints. So kettle the Bashers, MNHQ

But it is a joke thread?! How can you be asked to stop trying to have a SoH in the face of all that is going on politically? Or is that too entitled, having a sense of humour?? They leave disablist comments to stand...

And don't worry, Shirl. As I am technologically incompetent, I can't figure out how to 'unhide' the thread anyway!

Hullygully · 26/01/2012 09:25

I think the Bashers complain because it makes them look bad...er, maybe because they ARE bad.

Hullygully · 26/01/2012 09:25

Satire. Snot appreciated these days.

Dawndonna · 26/01/2012 09:20

Aww, I was enjoying those threads, Hully.

Hullygully · 26/01/2012 09:14

MN have asked me (very nicely) to stop doing shooting and disembowelling threads. There are complaints. Perhaps we should be complaining about the vile bile the right-eous are posting?

Hullygully · 26/01/2012 09:13

yy wot Shirl said. With knobs on.

ShirleyForAllSeasons · 26/01/2012 09:10

whoops - some people believe it IS OK. duh

ShirleyForAllSeasons · 26/01/2012 09:10

Because - I I am saying this with love - you know the way we just absolutely refuse to believe that the cuts and caps and bastardness of it all is OK?

Some refuse to believe that it IS OK and it doesn't matter how much you point stuff out, or show stats, or prove that there are only 463,000 job vacancies vs 2.6m (or whatever the figure is today) They can't/won't hear it - the same way as we WON'T hear their POV.

No point keeping on about your own personal shit on that thread Hunty, because the sharks can smell your blood and have zero compunction about using it as a stick to beat you with.

ShirleyForAllSeasons · 26/01/2012 09:07

Hunty - DO NOT GO BACK ON THAT THREAD.

I mean it.

CardyMow · 26/01/2012 07:52

Those 3 buses would have a journey time of, erm, lets see...45 minutes on the first bus. Then assuming all buses on time, the next bus would be due after a 14 minute wait. That bus has a 22 minute journey. Then there is a 25 minute wait time. Then a 12 minute journey. So a total travel time of 118 minutes - which is over the 90 minute journey time to WORK that even the DWP say is the longest that is 'reasonable' to expect. And that would just be to get my DC to childcare. If I worked in the town, you would then have to add on an extra 59 minutes to get to WORK!! Giving a total journey time of 177 minutes, or nearly 3 hours. One way. Hmm. YES Alouisee. everyone can manage THAT by public transport...

CardyMow · 26/01/2012 07:44

MmeLindorAndHaggis...?

CardyMow · 26/01/2012 07:42

I don't have to go out in the cold this morning. . With DS2 at home until either chickenpox stops going round the school, or the end of the 4-week wait after he's finished his course of prednisolone, anyway. DD getting sorted much better without the pesky inconvenience of her brothers 'looking at her', she gets ready much quicker, sans meltdowns. And DS1 was at his dad's last night, so his dad gets the thrill of a soggy school-run!!

How do you 'unhide' a thread? Don't want to get sucked back in, but am feeling a bit braver than last night, and there is one point I wish to clarify before rehiding my thread. Alouisee was pointing out cheaper childcare places, like the University Nursery. Just wanted to point out to the idiots people on that thread that it is THREE buses away from me...

RatherBeOnThePiste · 26/01/2012 06:26

You dont have to let go of MmeLindor. Keep it

So Bloomin dark this morning and raining.
