If you (still) feel the need to discuss Moldies [part 2]

oh, MT, it was 1987 - 1989. a truly fun time .

VVVQ - you're in a damned if you do and damned if you don't position here but changing your name and losing your MN identity is, in my opnion, the wrong thing to do.

Shine up your (not inconsiderable) balls and retain your identity. Nobody should be losing ground on MN itself over this, IMO.

Glad you back for a bit of sparring Soph.

Expat, that sounds like a recipe for inevitable disaster! Older and wiser...

vvq, you said something a little similar on another thread. i would like to reiterate that if i have said anything which mentions you personally, which you find offensive, then please make it known and i can either explain or apologise as, from the bottom of my heart, i don't think i have done so.

i also don't think that i have mentioned your name disproportionatley, and i rather think i have done so only to anser posts of yours (ironically)

i certainly do not feel bullied by you and had respected your views on many subjects.

I sincerely hope you don't feel bullied by anyone! let alone me.

I have never said that i won't engage with you, i am happy to engage you, any time.

Rhubarb said that you were 'reported' to have said.

I think she will concede that it is indeed not Invites to which you were refering in that quote to me (on the other thread i think?) but apologies to the gracious and kind.

i hope the gracious and kind received them

be well vvq, i certainl;y hope that you have many posting years on mumsnet as you have a lot to give.

When my parents went on holiday leaving me in the house, my dad set some sort of camera up to ensure that I wasn't sneaking in my boyfriend (a new one, who I ended up marrying ), and I couldn't work out why he seemed to go off my best friend a bit afterwards (she had been stopping at the house).
While I had been on best behaviour (i.e. having sex in ally ways / at the park / in fields etc) my best friend had snuck her boyfriend into my parents house to have her wicked way with him.
I looked like an angel

exactly, elf! and most of the two years i was home from france, my dad was working abroad. leaving me at home with a permissive half-French mother (well, this time, i won't mention it to your father) and a sister at university who was the source of endless alibis).

fun times, fun times indeed!

Hope to still see you around vvvqv.

who is making the assumption that 'good' people are moldies...i must have missed that

"There is nothing better than: a) he has his own apartment b) he has his own car or motorbike c) he has his own money d) he can buy alcohol when you're 15. Or 16. Or thereabouts."

My first boyfriend had a car. My parents hated it I remember my dad driving around the village one night looking for us, convinced we were up to no good.

He drove past us while we were pulled up in a lay by near the cemetary having sex in the car.

Ooops.

So I think that a) is the best!!

oh, south, my motto was: if at first you don't succeed, try, try again (and again and again and again if you like it) .

hyaven't seen you around! Some other Mers i have missed to but am afraid to list them for fear of outing them.

i did that when i was 17 expat it ended in tears, obviously that's where i went wrong [hehe] oh but i have some great memories

Thank you for that sophable, nice to see some honesty.

tbh i haven't decamped ruty. i'm as much on here as there, more actually. i just haven't been posting as much....i seem to have developed a someone late ability to self censor!!!! i often start a post and then scrub it out!

i'm totally still here.

you are one of the people i have missed here in recent months sophable and wondered where you are.

I am a moldie. As soon as I discovered what the set up was and the nomination process I started a couple of (very unpopular) threads on moldies predicting that mners would be hurt to be excluded and that the nomination process was, erm, difficult to say the least. I was pretty roundly flamed for them! I probably should have left. I didn't because there are some ex mners that I love that I wouldn't be in contact with if I didn't stay. And because frankly it is nice to be in, it hasn't happened to me much in life! even though i have a strong sense that there are several moldies that wish I wasn't on there :D

I have never and would never veto a nomination however strongly I felt about a person. I suppose that is how in some small part I reconcile myself with having stayed on there. however I totally get why people feel fucked off. I would be.

having said that there is nothing at all stopping anyone from setting up a splinter board. and mn will never stop being the mothership for me at least.

'there is nothing better than watching them playing rugby or football when you're 15'

Oh, no, no, no.

There is nothing better than: a) he has his own apartment b) he has his own car or motorbike c) he has his own money d) he can buy alcohol when you're 15. Or 16. Or thereabouts.

Nah, I waited till I was 16, MT. High-school doesn't start in the US until you're 14, and when I was 15 I went to France for a year.

What's teh age of consent in France?

VVV - I don't have CAT either to send messages.

there is nothing better than watching them playing rugby or football when you're 15

this is probably why i failed lots of o levels though

School? SCHOOL?! You people went to school?

I had to make do with a roof slate an a stick, and learning to read from the signs the motorway what I lived under. Y'don't know ye're born.

Oh god expat; you were jailbait?

I went to a Catholic all girls school! It was fab
