This thread is a continuation of this one. That one had become too big for its own boots the system to handle.

"GeorgeBailey is the hero in It's a Wonderful Life who watches his world going to rack & ruin when he's not in it"

Gosh. I'm stunned by the grandiosity of that choice of name, then.

GeorgeBailey · 31/12/2008 19:57

I said "when he's not in it" - not meaning "because he's not in it" - although of course that is the plot - hmm - didn't think that one through (arrogance inferred, not intended) -

stops digging.

Oh well, it's given you a bit of a laugh, hasn't it.

FrannyandZooey · 31/12/2008 19:57

you know i think some people must be name changing and pretending to be moldies to stir
eg georgebailey

cos that's going just a bit too far

"watches his world go to shit when he's not in it"
The arrogance is tragic.

tigermoth · 31/12/2008 19:49

To clarify, I was invited some time ago but didn't realise, then I was forwarded the link again after I posted a happy christmas thread.

tigermoth · 31/12/2008 19:45

Rhubarb, thanks.

I also hope to stick around here - nothing so far has dislodged me, but I do feel sad at how things seem to be (and not entirely sure of all the details).

Happy New Year to you!

"watches his world going to rack & ruin when he's not in it "

I cant help laughing, sorry.

NoShitSherlock · 31/12/2008 19:44

Custy/rhubarb - Might not be allowed to ask this but feel the need too. What Brighton people have gone? Very as I love my brighton girlies. (custy I used to be oiwhatsoccurring)

TotalChaos · 31/12/2008 19:44

maybe we are thinking too deeply about this.

Lizzylou · 31/12/2008 19:42

That's how I took it TC, but hey, what would I know?

FrannyandZooey · 31/12/2008 19:42

it's an extraordinary name to choose if you are not having a laugh

TotalChaos · 31/12/2008 19:41

I presume that the tigermoth post is being requoted as suggesting that moldies has been recruiting new members very recently. But I would interpret it that tigermoth had already been accepted as a member ages back, when sent the first e-mail. and that being sent the recent e-mail was just reminding her where to find the site.

GeorgeBailey · 31/12/2008 19:41

Oh, I wish, franny - where's Clarence when you need him?

FrannyandZooey · 31/12/2008 19:40

lol georgebailey have you reregged to save us all from rack and ruin then?

SwedesInADirtyMacAndSunglasses · 31/12/2008 19:40

Re the newspapers. The story wasn't the Moldies. The story was middle-class women, with good spelling, swearing like truckers.

TheFallenMadonna · 31/12/2008 19:40

Roffle at GeorgeBailey.

Are you hoping for the heartwarming reunion too?

Piffle · 31/12/2008 19:39

thanks for confirming Rhubs!

GeorgeBailey · 31/12/2008 19:38

"I was then emailed a link to the Moldies site which was one and the same as the site I had been told about earlier. I didn't realise until then. I joined a couple of days ago."

And?

FrannyandZooey · 31/12/2008 19:38

rhubarb i thought you had been posting all over the site about ways MN can move on from this

you should follow your own advice imo

Rhubarb · 31/12/2008 19:38

No Piffle, I don't.

LadyThompson · 31/12/2008 19:38

Mmm. Fagging. It did seem a bit like that, occasionally. I wonder who they're getting to toast the crumpets at Moldie Towers? Seriously, though, the departure of a few doth not a Wasteland make. Mumsnet won't wither just because a few chipsters want to whisper amongst themselves. Actually - that's being unfair, I am sure they are just chatting about the same old stuff we are. (Which begs the question: why did they leave in the first place?) I like the fact that trillions of people are on MN, because to misquote Forrest Gump, you never know what you are gonna get.
