This weeks roundup is hilarious.

I've just read my roundup.
I'm not on here as much at the moment as real-life if seriously getting in the way of my mumsnetting.
But I've just had a good old chuckle at the round up and wanted to say how bloody funny you all are.

Big pat on the back to StealthPolarBear for the surreal bubble comment. Loving it.

(Dragonbutter/Nevergoogledragonbutter here. Just pissing about with my name for MrsMH's sake.)

was fab although I felt I was rather ignored considering I was providing a MOST IMPORTANT service and furnishing the very caned hungry UD with munchiefodder haribo sweeties

i've never been on it but having seen that thread yes, i too am desperate to join.
its only my attachment to my sanity that has prevented me

Oh that thread is just brilliant. I love the Grammar Community Support Officer...

Am I the only one now fighting the urge to join Bounty....

I love the last line, bliss for pedants:

"THE GRAMMER POLICE. FOR ALL YOU'RE SPELLIN NEED'S."

Here here. Fabulous piece this week. Had DP reading it over my shoulder and snorting at the bounty thread antics. Made my evening. Thank you!

DH has roared with laughter when I showed him the virtual outing of my organisation anal tendencies and commented that with a set of GHD's I'm well on the way to being Bree Van De Camp.

Think I might need a name change to hide my shame !

CD and the bounty thread are hilarious.

Mamazon · 18/07/2009 11:34

LaurieFairyCake · 18/07/2009 10:19

OH MY GOD! My stuff has made the round-up

fandabidozy!

shinyshoes · 18/07/2009 10:15

YAY!! I'm on the roundup, it's my first ever mention. I feel all important now

FabBakerGirlIsBack · 18/07/2009 09:26

I have been in the round up once but no one knew it was me as I was having a temporary name change and hiding.

Morning!

Those of you who aren't getting your Talk roundups: you can always catch up with them (and the MNHQ newsletters) here

If you haven't subscribed to it yet, you can do so by clicking the box in your email options on your registration page

And if you've already subscribed but aren't getting it, try having a look at BigTech's troubleshooting tips

If you've done all that and STILL aren't getting it, it could be that your mail system is rejecting it as Spam. Some systems automatically reject emails containing certain words beloved of Spammers

I think there may be a way round this by 'whitelisting' our emails but we'll need to have a chat to YetMoreTech before we can tell you more...

FlappyTheBat · 18/07/2009 09:14

That will teach me to have an early night and neglect my mumsnet addiction duties

Have just read the bounty thread

gill89 · 18/07/2009 09:03

I don't get my email anymore. No warning, nothing changed, you just stopped sending it

can someone post it on here please?

i feel like we are missing out.

FAQ I think that you used to be on AOL. AOL notoriously blocks many of the MNHQ emails.

If you look on hte right --> the roundup appears there everyweek anyway - I have given up with AOL and just link to it from here.

StealthPolarBear · 18/07/2009 07:57

BTW if we're sucking up to morningpaper, can I just say I wait for the round up appearing in my inbox every friday (well apart from yesterday it would seem ). I know I can read it on the site but it's just not the same

StealthPolarBear · 18/07/2009 07:56

Just read it now, pmsl at the grammer police

SOLOisMeredithGrey · 18/07/2009 02:05

Gog?! gog?! dog obviously!

GiraffesCanRunA10k · 18/07/2009 01:57

Excellent

GiraffesCanRunA10k · 18/07/2009 01:41

Am off to read it now...

SOLOisMeredithGrey · 18/07/2009 01:33

I had tears flowing with laughter too! I loved the scared of dogs vet and the gog with a belly button and am giggling again whilst typing it!

nevergoogledragonbutter · 18/07/2009 00:12

Oh, this thread did take off! Good.

RemusLupinInAWizardsuit · 18/07/2009 00:00

Ahem.

I believe I have been in it 3 times.

You may bow if you wish.

Wonderstuff · 17/07/2009 23:42

Was brilliant [2nd only to the one I made it into once]. I laughed out loud and had to explain the whole thing to dh. Brussels sprouts line was genius.

It was very very funny indeed - I nearly started a thread like this too. Thanks MP (is Iorek here btw). Bran, dd asked me what was so funny too and I also said it was a joke about spelling. She wouldn't let it drop ("what is the joke mummy? what is it? WHAT IS IT?")

Bubble retort v good too
