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.

I've had such fun today - I am hiding the benefit bashing ones - and I did stoop to calling swc a filthy liar or something and that I would NEVER SPEAK TO HER AGAIN! and then I hid the thread - so.

Lots of good threads today and one spied one new BB (benefit bashing) one. It may be safe to venture out on the boards again!

This one is good www.mumsnet.com/Talk/_chat/1393118-I-CANNOT-listen-to-next-door-having-sex-any-longer but Pinot does lower the tone rather.

Yes please to something lighthearted!!! Grin I love silly and daft, not much of it of late on bashy MN.

ShirleyO · 27/01/2012 10:31

How long before you are back Mme?

MmeLindor. · 27/01/2012 08:26

Oh, is it still going, BIWI? Must pop in.

Just read the dead bodies thread, how funny. yy to lots of silly threads. I am in the mood for something light hearted.

Have to email school about taking kids out of lunchtime club.

BIWI · 27/01/2012 08:22

You could always join us on the Real Wankers thread(s) in OTBT, where we continue to whine about broken boilers and household appliances. Justa is now posting there from her new home in NZ. It's definitely a bit of a sanctuary!

KnottyLocks · 27/01/2012 08:07

Oh, a baby girl. How lovely. Smile

KnottyLocks · 27/01/2012 08:04

MmeL, Thanks for starting that one.

Maybe we should bomb the boards with some silly threads? Frothing activism of a sort.

I'll ponder on that during the school run.

MmeLindor. · 27/01/2012 07:49

Hello Santa. Nice to see you again.

Nil girl
Loved your post

The Random Act of kindness is a lovely thread. Just caught up on it. I remember the first one - I think it was LL who started it. Good to see that there are kind people about, not just Wankers

Why did iPhone capitalise wankers there?

I am having a happy day cause my friend gave birth yesterday to a baby girl. Grin

ShirleyO · 27/01/2012 00:53

I've gone all renogade

garlicfrother · 27/01/2012 00:47

True, Hunty! I've been glued to Random Acts Of Kindness all day - filling my need for a lurve injection :)

CardyMow · 27/01/2012 00:42

MN classics. I missed all except the very start of Buppy's cuntworms thread. I came back and couldn't find it. I just found it hiding in classics. Strangely, laughter is a good medicine. Can we prescribe MN classic threads when frothers get a bit disheartened? Worked a bloody treat for me. Grin

ShirleyForAllSeasons · 26/01/2012 23:19

No tongues?

I was robbed!

Of course not I am and will always be A Mum - that doesn't mean that is my only facet. You're safe here on this thread Nilgiri - we're all pretty cool and non wanker.

Mary - night night lovey - it's not ALL combative out there, just picj your threads wisely.

Hullygully · 26/01/2012 23:18

I tell you what tho, having read the dead people OP, no way man. I've seen the films.

Actually I'm sure it's much the same as Being Mum. [dubious childless MNer emoticon]

Even when the label's jolly useful, you don't want to spend your life being always that.

ShirleyForAllSeasons · 26/01/2012 23:09

It's fab.

MaryZ - Plus we have the Travellers to be our (pisstaking scrounging etc) scapegoats.

As an aside, whenever I hear the word 'privitise' I hear it in Varadkars voice.

Hullygully · 26/01/2012 22:56

Mme Lindor, I must be fair, they didn't tell me off, they just asked me, very nicely, to refrain from violence...
