If you (still) feel the need to discuss Moldies, please do it here so folks can hide this if they want to.

Well hopefully the title says it all. There's been a suggestion, and we agree, that as we did with Baby P and the Mc Canns we just have one thread where anyone who feels they still have anything to add on this subject can post and those who'd rather move on can hide it away.

It feels strange to put this thread in site stuff as we are definitely not wanting to encourage further discussion of Moldies (we have presents to wrap too you know ) but we weren't sure where else to put it.

We will delete any new Moldies threads that are started, so please feel free to report them in case we miss any (what with wrapping the presents and all...)

And if you do want to carry on the discussion please remember that Mumsnet's here to make everyone's lives easier and not the reverse, and that Christmas is a time of goodwill to all mumsnetters past, present and future

Thanks,
MNHQ

Shinty's a game for real men - quite tough and quite dangerous. I'm trying to interest the DCs in tennis. It's more effete safe.

PW - Trouble is to play Shinty you have to move to Glenbogle.

lou33 · 30/12/2008 00:42

ah but expat, she didnt even clean it properly inbetween !

expatinscotland · 30/12/2008 00:41

i watched the exorcism of emily rose.

laura linney is a good actress.

tom wilkinson is a good actor.

winey and swedes leaving at the same time, eh? They're not fooling anyone.

ruty · 30/12/2008 00:40

i could have been watching pan's labyrinth with dh instead of pointing out onebat's rogue apostrophes you know. Ah well. Another night wasted. g'night all.

expatinscotland · 30/12/2008 00:40

i think shinty might be worse, northern, indeed. the lads in the photies in our local paper all look pretty burly.

expatinscotland · 30/12/2008 00:39

shinty's some weirdy Irish/Celtic version of field hockey so far as i can tell.

NorthernLurker · 30/12/2008 00:39

Errrr - I think it makes it better - but I'm not totally sure.

Expat - isn't shinty even more violent than Rugby? Does your laddie look like he might have a head for snooker?

winestein · 30/12/2008 00:39

"are all the "u"s being replaced by "*"? or are you all being polite when you say fuck and wank?>?"

Am truly wunkered.

expatinscotland · 30/12/2008 00:38

dammit, where are my bloody headphones? i need to learn this song and i'm hoping to do it by osmosis.

holidaywonk · 30/12/2008 00:38

If shinty is something that doesn't involve proper full-on hurting then I'd say that's a good plan.

expatinscotland · 30/12/2008 00:37

practice makes perfect, i would say, lou

Quattrocento · 30/12/2008 00:37

How do you cope Swedes? I mean do you just have to clench your teeth and pray?

winestein · 30/12/2008 00:37

I know nothing of this chip fat of which you speakest. My mum used to throw out anything a day after it was opened. (I'm not saying this like it's a Good Thing incidentally. Somewhere inbetween would be good.)

However, I can tell you all about the properties of the white lines on a road. Analyse that, whilst I drag my stilton filled frame up to my pit.

Night night, all you lovlies x [pissed]

lou33 · 30/12/2008 00:35

northern, does it make it better or worse if i say it is the quality of sausage munchers, but the quantity?

ruty · 30/12/2008 00:35

extremely fucking sensitive, i'd say.

SwedesInADirtyMacAndSunglasses · 30/12/2008 00:35

Night all. Sorry - too tired to join proper noun ending in vowel debate. Too tired and a bit betrunken.

expatinscotland · 30/12/2008 00:34

hmm, maybe should make shinty player out of DS . . .

onebatmotherofgoditschilly · 30/12/2008 00:34
holidaywonk · 30/12/2008 00:33

I think we're asterisking out of respect to ruty, who is a bit sensitive about rude words.

SwedesInADirtyMacAndSunglasses · 30/12/2008 00:32

I regularly go and watch DS1 play rugby (he is a centre) and the thud as one boyman (these are 16 - 18 year olds) hits another is truly heartstopping.

Quattrocento · 30/12/2008 00:32

TV? If that is a proper noun, which I doubt, it does not end in a vowel.

Admit it, you're defeated. Have a glass of wine.

holidaywonk · 30/12/2008 00:32

I don't blame you Quattro. My db once came very close to breaking his neck in a scrum (he was a hooker I think?)

Obviously this isn't a very helpful post. Can I refill your glass?

VeniVidiVickiQV · 30/12/2008 00:30

phew! you are just being polite
