4 wide eyed innocent questions for GC women

KielderWater · 28/08/2024 15:12

  1. Do you believe all GC women agree that northern women make the best Yorkshire pudding batter due to their aggression?
  2. I know a left wing woman who thinks the milk should go in before the tea, is this abhorrent behaviour a left wing thing and will you disassociate yourself from the left because of it?
  3. Brambles mostly reproduce asexually. How many subspecies do you think there are?
  4. Is my husband gender nonconformist because he hung up the washing? Should I be worried he might start keeping track of the family’s birthdays next?

Happy to answer your questions too.

do you not have a clothes prop, you heathen???

😅😅😅

I used to have a prop.

Getting the line high enough isn’t the problem.

It’s getting it low enough for me to reach the pegs without the towels dragging on the ground that’s the problem.

And don’t get me started on super king duvet covers! Keeping them from dragging on the grass is a lost cause.

I hang my towels landscape.

It’s the only way I can get the line low enough for me to reach it, without the big towels dragging on the grass.

So I have a question. Is talking about cake and swapping recipes always derailing and deletion material? Or only on FWR threads? Or only wife-eyed threads? Or only THAT thread? Will rock cakes always be penalised? Does it matter if they are GF? I am horrified at the prospect of A Mumsnet With No Cake. Are biscuits permitted? What if the thread is explicitly a cake thread?

Think I need Gin

I’ve wondered about that myself.

On another forum I’m familiar with, off-topic posts that turn into a sub-discussion are explicitly against the site rules and get i) a mod warming to get back on topic or else and ii) deleted if posters ignore the mod warning. Which is fair enough as everyone knows where they stand.

But here I’ve no clue what the rules are. I used to get really fed up of finding five pages of cheese chat in a thread with a discussion I wanted to follow so, personally, I’d have sympathy with an “if you want to change this thread topic to a completely new topic, start your own thread” rule, provided it was a rule that applied to all forums not just FWR.

I understand MNHQ’s “troll hunting is for us to do, for not for you” rule. But that rule pre-dates the advent of AI and large language learning models. And I think MNHQ - like all organisations - need to review how AI / LLLMs affect how they operate and what protections they need to put in place.

They may decide that simply expanding their troll hunting rule to include “AI hunting is for us not for you” is likely to be enough / work best. .

Where is it that they ketchup Catsup? I have to say I find that a somewhat alarming moniker it conjures up strange images.

I bookmarked some of the recipes on that thread. I've never bookmarked before. How do you find your bookmarks? It was after the initial deleting of recipes, so I hope they're still on the thread.

Your bookmark will only be on the last post you bookmarked. It is a way to find that post if you leave the thread and then go back as it will zoooom to that bookmark.

Unless you meant save post. I don't think it will save a deleted one, as it's never saved a deleted thread for me. I prefer to save a thread rather than Watching as that doesn't always work (or better yet, I just post rubbish for the I'm on link).

What did you have on your chips?

And we love you too!

I assume you mean on hot chips, as opposed to chips which are known as crisps here… we had tomato sauce :) or ketchup I suppose it’s called here!

thank you for the love!

Shhhh I got deleted for questioning this

In the original thread or in this thread?

They had posh portaloos at the royal garden party I attended. I think they were called ‘posh portaloos’.

FWR is like a royal garden party compared to AIBU which rarely seems to get deletions.

Ahhh so thats one of the reasons to post on AIBU

ArabellaScott · 28/08/2024 20:51

And yes, FWR gets held to a far, far higher standard than elsewhere on the site.

ArabellaScott · 28/08/2024 20:50

Biscuit emoji has caused a banning in the past, iirc.

Bannedontherun · 28/08/2024 20:44

Tunnocks have always been acceptable.

Let me go on the record here and say it's an indictment of Scottish devolution that our friends up there have had self-government for a generation and haven't managed to bring back Creamola Foam.

I remember when darling Hector (RIP) realised he could claw the keys off the laptop keyboard.

That sounds as though I executed him for his offence - he actually lived to have many more adventures. I don't think the laptop ever fully recovered.

Kittens are devils. It's teatowels today, next thing you know they're adult cats eating your knitting needles.

Pens. With this boy, when it’s not the teatowel it’s pens. I’ll be at my desk working & see a little white paw stealing forward…

I had a previous foster who would nick my coconut husk scourer whenever she had a chance, & another one who turned out to be really helpful when I was crocheting. She’d snuggle up & rest a paw on the ball of yarn I was using, which kept it in one place for me. 😻

Noooo!!! I'm moving too far south and east for yorkshires I'm going to have to make popovers instead.

Tea? Brewed but not for me thanks.

Blackberries, plenty thanks the more the merrier (40 acres pretty much covered in the stuff) anyone want any bramble jelly?

He sews, cooks, bakes and remembers birthdays and has longer hair than me. Think I'll buy him a dress for Christmas

EmpressaurusDeiGatti · 28/08/2024 18:52

I have two tea towel hooks in my kitchen.

The new hook is high up & it’s for the tea towel I dry things with.

The original hook is lower down & it’s for the kitten’s tea towel. He likes to leap up, snatch it down & try to kill it.

Let’s not even get started on pegs.

  1. YES
  2. This is one of the many reasons why I "Left the Left". Before we even begin to discuss transgender issues, it is important that I first issue my own denouncement of my previous ways and all of the ways women like me are responsible for what is happening, (in what has now become the right wing podcasters version of Land Acknowledgments.)
