I'd like a Kenneth topic

For those people who's lives have been touched in some way by a Kenneth.

And those that feel their Kennethless lives lack something and want support in getting to a Kenneth.

It would be nice to have a space to escape the madness to discuss the many factions of Kenneth's.

When will this be ready HQ?

Never.

I shall sing we shall overcome at MNHQ if I have to. But the need for a Kenneth topic will never die.

It seems I killed Kenneth...

My Dad is a Kenneth. DH and I decided against using it for our son though, sorry Blush

The only other Kenneth I have met was a barfly regular in a pub I used to work in, he was a hoot.

With my sample of two, I have concluded that all who are named Kenneth are awesome [gavel]

Another reason for the decline of Kenneth's, some have Kenneth forced upon them when they no they are not one.

The only Kenneth I know is now called Diane (for real). Are those who turned their back on their Kennethness welcome or are they cast into the wilderness? Or the wildianeness in this case.

I don't know any Kenneths at all but I'm willing to change the dog's name to Kenneth. Would that count?

It gets my vote and in our line of work, the Urban dictionary* is a bookmarked site. I can assure you, we use it more than we'd care to.
*other sites that describe all manner of filth are available.

I knew a Kenneth at primary school.

Also know a grown up Kenneth.

I am a Kenneth officionado.

All Kenneths do Allalonenow.

In my younger days, when I was a girl, I was truly madly deeply in love with a Kenneth, he had wonderful hands. Smile

hang on a minute....

You guys research by using Urbsn Dictionary?!

The Wright Stuff researchers use Mumsnet for research.

(I think I've discovered why the media's dumbing down)

Anyway it shouldn't need research it should be a total shoo in.

It will be VERY popular you may want to call it

I met a Danish Kenneth when I was travelling Australia.

We're still Facebook friends in spite of me not understanding any of his Danish posts Confused

TiggyD · 23/05/2015 16:02

Maybe just a section on here is just thinking too small.

What about Kensnet? A whole site dedicated to Kennethdom!

mrstweefromtweesville · 23/05/2015 16:01

Kenneth is a postman locally. He's in his early thirties.

EmpressOfJurisfiction · 23/05/2015 15:59

Ooh. Do we also need to consider sections for proper and improper Kenneths?

MetallicBeige · 23/05/2015 15:52

My postman is a Kenneth and he is a lovely chap. I knew a Kenneth who was born in '82-83 he was a proper Kenneth iykwim?

As my postman is out and about all day please can we have a sub-sub section for out and about Kenneths and at home Kenneths?

I should warn you, if you don't give Honey a Kenneth topic she might just take one anyway. She has History like that.

Afternoon Honey, afternoon all,

We've been giving this a Good Deal of Thought - as we do for all new topic requests.

We were doing a bit of Kenneth-based research, and found much food for thought over on the Urban Dictionary site.

Apparently, a Kenneth is a teenage man with extremely wonderful hair, and with his good looks and great personality, he has every female after him.

Who knew? Grin

(That was posted by Ken Is The Man back in 2009, btw.)

InQuiteAPickle · 23/05/2015 12:17

Anti-Kenneth?

That's Kennethist, Whiskwarrior, you bigot! I'm reporting your post. I'm sure it says something about Kennethism in the talk guild lines.

SwingingBalls · 23/05/2015 11:10

My working day is blighted by a Kenneth and, judging by comments on this thread, Kenneths don't appear to make good collegues.

magimedi · 23/05/2015 11:03

Honey - who said you can rule the world of Kenneth - it's not just your forum after all. Are you the Kenthread police?

TiggyD · 23/05/2015 10:13

I hear on Netmums you have to call them K*eths or you get banned!

HoneyDragon · 23/05/2015 10:09

Ok. This is a thread supporting a Kenneth topic. I'm well aware that Kennethism is a very subjective thing and we all have our own opinions and stories. But this isn't the place for a bunfight, it's not AIBU.
