BCNS · 15/05/2009 17:01

I am always nice.. I generally steer clear of celeb and could be nasty threads..

OrmIrian · 15/05/2009 16:52

There are a lot of nasty people in the RL, sometimes a few slip under the fence but we soon manage to block the gap with spikes!

muffle · 15/05/2009 16:39

I haven't even noticed! I have an inherent ability to miss out on controversial stuff. Even Moldies passed me by until a RL friend explained it . I have been having some nice chats about party food and stroppy 4yos and a mild debate about BF. The last time I got worked up was Myersongate.

KayHarkerDoesNotSimper · 15/05/2009 16:36

I am seriously PMT, so any increase in nastiness can be put down to me.

That, and the fact that everyone keeps saying what a horrible person KH is, which is making me all tearful and un-necessary (Yes, I know it's not me...)

this recipe in the times today for artichoke hearts

Lulumama · 15/05/2009 16:35

capers and anchovies on pizza with artichoke hearts too . my idea of heaven on a plate.

carbs and weird salty food.

gingerbread sounds good.

now, hearts of palm ......droooooooooool

Northernlurker · 15/05/2009 16:33

No Meglet, you only think you do. If tried the world without them you'd do just fine.

Very like Katie Hopkins actually - people think she's necessary for something - but if we didn't have her throwing her weight around all over the shop we'd do ok,

2Eliza2 · 15/05/2009 16:33

Another vote for capers! I can eat them out of the jar.

Anyone else got a thing for canned artichoke hearts?

Fimbo · 15/05/2009 16:32

I am hacked off with the fact MN has been down 3 times in the last 24hrs. I think its all those Tsarina's breaking it.

MadameCastafiore · 15/05/2009 16:32

Oh Katie Hopkins was the one that shagged some married man in a cornfield and looks like a horse chewing a wasp!!!!

As for the nastiness - it is normal at certain times of the year - you get this many women spending sooo much time together (RL or not) and their cycles begin to syncrhonise so they are all PTM ridden at the same time.

Mumsnet isn't much different, I don't think, to how it has been for the last 6 or so years that I have been here.

lulu - parkin

Greensneeze · 15/05/2009 16:30

capers are little zingy buds of deliciousness

molasses can be used in cakes like dark fruit cakes etc

and gingerbread

Greensneeze · 15/05/2009 16:29

deep, deep

Greensneeze · 15/05/2009 16:29

lol

She sounds like a bitch

she clearly has a deap-seated terror of actually growing up...

Meglet · 15/05/2009 16:29

I like capers .

No idea about the molasses.

Lulumama · 15/05/2009 16:29

thank you NL!! that is sound advice.

oh su, i will be along soon

need wine

well, i;'m happy now, my question about molassess has been answered

all is well in my world!

suwoo · 15/05/2009 16:27

Lulu, come to my ligament pain thread and advise me please

You can't flounce us pregnant women need you!

Saltire · 15/05/2009 16:26

Who is Katie Hopkins?

SoupDragon · 15/05/2009 16:26

I asked exactly that question Greeny.

Northernlurker · 15/05/2009 16:26

I think molassess is a victim of the Nora Ephron rule. In 'Heartburn' her character says that she spent months putting capers into eveything before realising that anything that tastes good with capers in tastes better withem out. Same is true of molassess I fear!

FluffyBunnyGoneBad · 15/05/2009 16:26

It's a type of sugar Lulumama, you can cook with it (apparantly) or turn it into nasty toffee.

Greensneeze · 15/05/2009 16:25

Who the fuck is Katie Hopkins?
