I haven't read the whole thread I am so important I don't care if this has been said fifty times already, it's not been said until I've said it.

AIBU? give me some sympathy and agree with me

I don't mean any offence but... I am a twat

I'm not being rude but... I am a twat

There must be more. Snark away...

The use of 'fora' = I am clever, I is

I've mastered strikeout, must mean I am MN royalty. Not Grin

openerofjars · 04/04/2013 21:46

Are you okay, OP? = I am a wind-up goady twat

lougle · 04/04/2013 21:45

Your wedding, your rules

=

I am new to MN

U knw ur bubs hun = logged into the wrong forum

Tee2072 · 04/04/2013 21:38

If you've really mastered strike out you know you can do a whole line at a time.

=

I'm a twat.

MavisGrind · 04/04/2013 21:37

Northern I don't know about royalty, I'm still reeling from the fact you're only 36. -- --

MavisGrind · 04/04/2013 21:35

I have mastered strikeout ergo I am hilarious.

Using ergo = I am a twat.

NorthernLurker · 04/04/2013 21:32

'who is mumsnet royalty' = I desperately hope I am. Say me, say me!

NorthernLurker · 04/04/2013 21:32

Who's Cod' I KNOW who Cod is but it's always good for a ruck to ask......

"You can't disagree with a regular without all their clique piling in to have a go"

If people disagree, point proven.

If people agree, point proven.

Dons hardhat = oooh this is going to kick off, I'm a right hard one, me.

Passes popcorn = I want to mark my place, but I know that K8Middleton has told everyone that 'marks place' = twat. If I pretend I have some popcorn, then I can mark my place by pretending I'm going to share.

I'm a namechanger, pombears, mitmoo, blah blah - I've been around for a while and I'm keen that you should know it because what I'm about to tell you is simply unbelievable.

PacificDogwood · 04/04/2013 21:28

HTH - 'YABU. And a twat'

Lottashakingoinon · 04/04/2013 21:26

Seriously Custards what does paid into the pot mean I really am a twat

NorthernLurker · 04/04/2013 21:26

Get a grip = you are utterly, utterly wrong, scarily wrong, Margaret Thatcher scale wrong but if I say what I really think of your particular brand of wrong a) I'll be here all day and b) I'll get banned so I'm hoping get a grip will work the miracle you so plainly need.

TiredyCustards · 04/04/2013 21:25

paid into the pot = I'm a twat

Lottashakingoinon · 04/04/2013 21:23

Hello my name is Lotta = I'm a twat!

eastereggnog · 04/04/2013 21:22

But then I'm lazy I am trying to undermine people who don't make the same parenting choices that I do.

Tee2072 · 04/04/2013 21:16

Also:

This is a first world problem - I'm a twat.

Really, everything - I'm a twat.

Grin
FrustratedSycamoresRocks · 04/04/2013 20:52

Arse. I thought I was terribly original and cestle pops my fun bubble :(

I thought I was terribly original = I could be arsed to do even a basic search because I'm here all the bloody time.

awaits flaming or i'm going to get flamed for this

I am going to spout utter, utter bilge and, to offset your calling me on it, I am going to try and pretend I am a brave voice speaking truth to those who will not listen.

cestlesautres · 04/04/2013 19:56

Certainly not. I'm morally opposed to cliches and all who sail in them. Any campaign against them deserves my fervent backing, and I instruct you all to follow suit.
