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

We are all behaving as best we can under the circumstances, I think, Carrie. But for some reason (possibly relating to human nature), I feel immoderate just reading your post.

I worry that your exhortation might have precisely the same effect as a wedding DJ shouting "C'mon Everybardy! Let's have some Faaaaaaaaarn!"

cat, your marvellous Young Ones post made me realise that the scripts probably hold up better than the actual programmes. Mayall and Edmondson are so overwhelming that the lines get a bit lost.

PW - LOL. Yes like the Mumsnetter, the Moldie, their Rev and her Lover.

sensational! more brazil nuts! they must be for me!

ruty, I think you have to let it wash over you and not really expect it to make sense. Like a Peter Greenaway film or summat.

boiled sausages?

No ta, but thanks for the offer...

LMAO @ winestein not being a satanist but working in traffic control

Rightyho, ladies (and Mr RJA), I have to go to work tomorrow so need my bed.

Goodnight all and thank you for the laughs

meet me? i mean meet him!

why do i get the feeling i've turned up very late for a party...

i do know an actual satanist

when i told another friend i was off to meet me for lunch, she almost cried, she thought he was going to abduct me and lure me into his evil web

lol @ that

we went to giraffe in guildford where he bought me lunch and engaged in frivolous conversation

i did ask him if he could get me a set of his satanic robes as a dressing gown though

Hello Iorek btw. friend of mine [swiss] used to say Heaven must be like Switzerland, and as such, meant he'd never want to go there.

Iorek - You will see that I very deliberately did not nominate the Rev for membership of the MWankies, but I did feel that her essay deserved a wider audience. I first stumbled across it at the time of the row about the creation of the Old Child Family topic - a row which now seems very small beer indeed. It seemed prescient then and seems even more so now.

christmas duties over for another year. thank god. if there is one.

i only took one, i thought only one was on offer

i reckon knickers had the rest

i get blamed for everything

i love brazil nuts

LOL. I don't think winestein is an Actual satanist (although she does work in traffic control).

I do know someone who refused to be a godfather because he didn't want to renounce the Devil. He meant it as well.

Not quite a satanist, Lou ... just me, and a whole load of mish-mashed ideals and idealogies.

Gizzuz yer sausage

Thank you lovecat - I would offer a sausage in return but as Lou has eaten them all - in a very unseemly and suggestive manner I might add, it 'll be a very cold day on mumsnet indeed before I boil another banger here!

Mr Bat would like it known that he has not yet had the opportunity to discharge his Christmas obligations speak to his partner this month. I hope to see you all tomorrow.

We have 2 boxes of chocolate brazils that DH bought to make up for the box of shortbread he scoffed pre-Crimbo (don't ask me how that man's mind works - he's currently lying on the sofa giggling at Transformers the Movie and he's not even stoned)

Rev's essay was interesting. Not sure I agree with that definition of 'friendship' myself... more that what she describes is a friendly way to behave. But obviously that's still important.

This is hardly worth posting but I'm going to anyway...

too late, it's in my mouth as i type

Ah, Wonk. Not bad thanks. Going well.

BTW, where can I buy some of those "instant-ostracism" powders from? I found them so elusive.

Until now, you sod

Message withdrawn

are you a satanist winestein? i know a satanist, great bloke he is

I could just have managed a nice Brazil nut as well - but I see they're all gone now...oh well...never mind....worse things happen at sea....at least I got shot of the sausage.....where's my eyeore ears?
