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

that was a bit of a DM asterisk wasn't it.

Quattrocento · 30/12/2008 00:17

Hey Expat! How are you doing? How is baby?

expatinscotland · 30/12/2008 00:17

dammit, what happened to that brolly my mom gave me for Christmas!

to quote a scooby doo episode, 'those meddling kids!'

ruty · 30/12/2008 00:16

i have strong feelings about Spielberg. He used to be truly great. And now he's a bit sh*t.

Quattrocento · 30/12/2008 00:15

One umbrella
Two umbrellas

Or as OBM would have it - two umbrella's

YOU ARE SO WRONG

ruty · 30/12/2008 00:15

me poor old mum. i'm not actually sure how old it was, but it had been used, well, more than once or twice. it was the seventies. but not an economising tip i'd recommend, obviously.

holidaywonk · 30/12/2008 00:15

Do you know, it's never occurred to me to have strong feelings about Spielberg. He's just there, like Tarmac or something.

Erm... I quite like Indiana Jones (haven't seen the latest one, Mark Kermode says it's rubbish and he's usually right isn't he).

You couldn't really argue that he's a bad film-maker, could you?

SwedesInADirtyMacAndSunglasses · 30/12/2008 00:15

OBM - I think she meant a cravin' in the American sense.

expatinscotland · 30/12/2008 00:15

OMG. Quattro just swore!

I'm taking notes here .

NorthernLurker · 30/12/2008 00:14

Glass of water VVV? Don't be a wuss about the nuts - it is Christmas after all!

I'm ignoring all the apostrophe talk lest I accidentally reveal I was off the day we did that at school

SwedesInADirtyMacAndSunglasses · 30/12/2008 00:14

How can a man who looks like this make a cult film?

Quattrocento · 30/12/2008 00:13

Fuck, I meant apostasy

onebatmotherofgoditschilly · 30/12/2008 00:13

overwhelming Craven-based fear/desire. (This was last year.)

A craven fear?

winestein · 30/12/2008 00:12

Ruty

Year old chip oil? How are you still with us?

Quattrocento · 30/12/2008 00:12

No it isn't moot. To admit to an apostrophe there would be an apostacy.

catinthehat1 · 30/12/2008 00:12

wimp

ruty · 30/12/2008 00:12

[falls over with effort of thinking]

VeniVidiVickiQV · 30/12/2008 00:11

Oh! How could I refuse? It's been a long time since I've been offered sausage with a side order of nuts.

winestein · 30/12/2008 00:11

Homemade chips? Mmmm. Just discovered, only tonight how to make homemade chips in the gastro-pub style, only without 2 tonnes of lard. Heaven.

onebatmotherofgoditschilly · 30/12/2008 00:10

We-eell. It is a moot point (and a matter of considerable debate amongst pedants worldwide) whether a proper noun which ends in a vowel should take an apostrophe in the plural.

Quattrocento · 30/12/2008 00:10

Apostasy is a fabulous word - and one I don't think I've ever spoken. I'm trying it out loud now, just to see what it sounds like.

It is nearly but not quite as good as catapostrophe
