Dear MN Towers, could we consider moving the Buying and selling listings to a separate board?

that's the prob thou isn't it - you don't know which ones are genuine and which are not. i'd sooner stick with posters who post all over the boards than just B&S - as it is the B&S boards seem to be their own little community & all know each other, which has made it harder for others to 'break into it' if you will.

twospecialgirls I agree with dtm, I tend to only buy from names I reconise - I've been stung in the past by someone and am just doing it to protect myself really. Thats not the attitude of a lot of people though, and I think sooner or later a newbie becomes a regular face and the trust builds up

twospecialgirls · 17/01/2008 23:07

lmao m2lae

Mummy2LibbyandEllis · 17/01/2008 23:07

slow or stupid blimey, I'm not doing too well finding a new name.

twospecialgirls · 17/01/2008 23:06

dtm -thats not fair on new genuine mn if you would only buy from reg how can newb people intergrate

davidtennantsmistress · 17/01/2008 23:04

not read it all but how about a for sale for those who want to do it full time and a for sale for reg posters (ie sgk)

also not that I'm a snob - well I am actually! lol. but I prefer to B&S from names I recognise than those I don't. and would hope that someone would buy form me who's an oldie as it were.

(agreed thou that name changes can be decieving - mine will show only been a member since last summer as that's when I rejoined with this name after some RL stuff going on) but really i've been here since nov 04.

southeastastra · 17/01/2008 22:55

that would probably be offensive to some anything else?

Mummy2LibbyandEllis · 17/01/2008 22:52

when I read that...'oh jeez' were the first 2 words?!

southeastastra · 17/01/2008 22:50

what are the first words that come into your head mumm2libby....

Mummy2LibbyandEllis · 17/01/2008 22:48

VA, I'm still thinking on a name for now - want to come up with a good one

Mummy2LibbyandEllis · 17/01/2008 22:47

I think men get better with age anyway, so maybe thats it, the older gent! Although dont get me wrong I'm no Anna-Nicole, there comes a point when older is too old!

twospecialgirls · 17/01/2008 22:45

VictorianSqualor · 17/01/2008 22:45

twospecialgirls · 17/01/2008 22:42

m2lae thanks i know who he is now although im not sure how he would get anyones heart racing yuk lol

MrsPhilipGlenister · 17/01/2008 22:41

Thanks for the update on your brother Rhubarb (it's Dinosaur btw) - have been thinking about you and him a lot (and your sister too).

Wotz · 17/01/2008 22:40

Rhubarb I wasn't refering to you, your little performance the other week was very enjoyable reading.

VictorianSqualor · 17/01/2008 22:40

LOL@20 MNers, it really does seem that way sometimes.

Wotz · 17/01/2008 22:38

I keep thinking I should get more involved and then can't be arsed. There are only about 20 MNer. They just change names, discuss things with themselves and want some attention.

I am going off to stalk Desi again.

Rhubarb · 17/01/2008 22:38

Aw thanks PhilipG, he's much the same really. Has good days, but then goes on a real downer. Had a bit of a panic today when he went missing in his car, but he turned up again. Goes off to some army mental institution next week, which will be a blessed relief for my sis as she's had to put her life on hold to be there for him. Not far from us this place either so we can keep an eye on him.
Think he's out of immediate danger, but still walking on eggshells hoping that nothing happens to change his mood.

Anyway, back to the thread - I really don't see anything much to get het up about. The thread titles in capitals and textspeak are very annoying, but then so are many other thread titles. And yeah, they don't tend to come into other areas of Mumsnet, but since they don't seem to be very popular, maybe that's a good thing? I just can't seem to care either way!
