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

I have discovered now though that there are two classes of rejects FAQ.

Those that have had sympathy emails from moldies and those that are total bottom of the pile rejects.

Which are you?

goldFAQinsenceandmyrrh · 28/12/2008 21:54

well you can see why I never had an invite for Moldies - I am officialy a reject - I'm not a Modlie, I'm not a Newbies..........

I'm a REJECT

That's the first of five, BBBee.

Is this what they mean by 'going global'?

JoolsToo · 28/12/2008 21:53

whoarr - rofl

I thought you were saying 'war' in a posh voice but now I realise you mean hoo-har

BBBee · 28/12/2008 21:52

thank you holiday wonk!!!!!

goldFAQinsenceandmyrrh · 28/12/2008 21:51

they've also got the order of events wrong, the "official statement" was the blog entry that started the whooharr

Bauble99 · 28/12/2008 21:51

Ah well. Maybe you and hunker can share a Greasy Nipple?

ilovelovemydog · 28/12/2008 21:51

How are there 1100 posts on here - impressive

goldFAQinsenceandmyrrh · 28/12/2008 21:51

isn't the MN'er who was "reduced to tears" (and whose quote is lifted) Justine????

EffiePerine · 28/12/2008 21:49

jeez that's an appallingly written article

10 secs of my life I will never see again

am giving up links to the Mail for 2009

goldFAQinsenceandmyrrh · 28/12/2008 21:48

Jools

more importantly............have they attributed the quotes properly?????

holidaywonk · 28/12/2008 21:46

It's www.mumsnet.com/Talk?topicid=_chat&threadid=669385-Oh-what-an-interesting-blog-entry-this-week-MNHQ- and#13620035 here BBBee. But you might want to think about whether it's really going to be worth your time...

[and onebat. And lou as it isn't red wine]

[hands VVVQ a chilled Margarita and hopes it isn't too common]

onebatmotherofgoditschilly · 28/12/2008 21:44

If I were you, vvv, I would be frantically trying to disassociate myself from my compadres. Particularly the Queen of Mean.
Rather than pushing the line which has enraged so many for so long.

lou33 · 28/12/2008 21:41

there is a thread in chat i started needing consolation about having to give up red wine, if anyone wants to carry on the alcohol related theme

VeniVidiVickiQV · 28/12/2008 21:41

i dont much like either ruty, but, the moldies comments seem to pass by unchecked, unlike the other personal attacks. Seems saying "moldies" is like a qualifying prefix for an attack.

i dont drink, so a virgin sex on the beach seems somewhat impossible................!

BBBee · 28/12/2008 21:39

does original thread still exsist?

can someone link????

Bauble99 · 28/12/2008 21:39

Sex On The Beach is very topical?

ruty · 28/12/2008 21:37

VVQ i am disappointed to see snidey comments about Moldies. Equally disappointed to see quite unrestrained personal attacks on MNers.
[sorry to ruin cocktail mood will bog off now]

pooka · 28/12/2008 21:36

Nothing bad going on on here - just some cocktail discussion for the last hour-ish.

VeniVidiVickiQV · 28/12/2008 21:34

lots of folk on a knife edge atm. not helping things i fear. i am disappointed to see lots of snidey, sweeping comments about moldies, and accusations of same as being the impotus for the article. nothing could be further from the truth.

StealthPoHoHoHo · 28/12/2008 21:16

I've lost the plot
must have been that champagne truffle
