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

home made chips? i have a deep fear of them ever since i tried to clean my mother's chip pan at the age of 11. She was extremely displeased that i had thrown away the year old oil in it.

holidaywonk · 30/12/2008 00:09

Righto Cat. Just as soon as I've seen Madagascar 2.

lou33 · 30/12/2008 00:08

home made chips are always better than shop bought

ruty has been judged and found lacking

Apostasy.. what an apt word!

Pssst... PW... don't drink. You start missing letters out of words an everyfink. Am a bit upset about the non-opinion thing though. Ok. Hows about Steven Spielberg?

holidaywonk · 30/12/2008 00:06

I used to fancy John Craven. I refused to accompany my Dad to the BBC canteen once because of an overwhelming Craven-based fear/desire. (This was last year.)

onebatmotherofgoditschilly · 30/12/2008 00:06

lol at store of original wordplay laid aside for a rainy day

John Craven's Newsround, huh? What a biased selection of age-appropriate news items that was? Right?

ruty · 30/12/2008 00:06

wasn't that a rogue apostrophe onebat

catinthehat1 · 30/12/2008 00:05

It's terrific, try and watch it if you get a chancesee here
It sort of freaks people out, but it sticks with you. The Lady in the Radiator character is very worrisome to some people.

onebatmotherofgoditschilly · 30/12/2008 00:04

two hail mary's ruty.

Actually, my opinion was about John Craven.

holidaywonk · 30/12/2008 00:04

Ooh ooh this gives me a chance to brandish my single successful piece of original wordplay: the catapostrophe! (Coined when some poor child's teacher had written a notice along the lines of 'Please ensure all library books' are returned tomorrow')

onebatmotherofgoditschilly · 30/12/2008 00:03

lol @ reboots PW!

Shit, just had to strike my opinion - it was about Wes Craven.

ruty · 30/12/2008 00:02

oh you need to try some. they were a bit soggy in the middle tbh. [wanders off realising everyone has left]

lou33 · 30/12/2008 00:01

oh bugger i cant find my gavel

holidaywonk · 30/12/2008 00:01

I appear not to have an opinion about Wes Anderson.

onebatmotherofgoditschilly · 30/12/2008 00:01

what the freak is an apostophe?
Is it like apostasy?

ruty · 30/12/2008 00:00

[bites fingernails]

NorthernLurker · 29/12/2008 23:59

VVV - may I offer you a boiled sausage - one careful owner and some brazil nut relish to complete the feast?

lou33 · 29/12/2008 23:59

ruty · 29/12/2008 23:59

holidaywonk · 29/12/2008 23:59
winestein · 29/12/2008 23:58

Wes Anderson. Now he's the kind of mentalist I like. Can we talk about his films?
(see the apostophe Batty. See it. SEE IT )

SwedesInADirtyMacAndSunglasses · 29/12/2008 23:58

I've just eaten blue cheese, lovely mature cheddar and oatcakes with two glasses of red. DP is looking over his corporation tax. We were going to watch The enigma of Kasper Hauser on DVD - tomorrow night perhaps.

ruty · 29/12/2008 23:58

M&S frozen oven chips [waits for judgement]

onebatmotherofgoditschilly · 29/12/2008 23:57

christ ruty, I might get poached eggs for breakfast then?

WilfSell · 29/12/2008 23:57

Sorry, I know you discovered it was a scarf MP, but I just can't get the Elmo thing out of my head. And he's not just holding her: he's punching her on the nose.
