Sadly the starter of this thread won't be welcoming the party bus, having deleted his account sometime between this morning and now: https://www.reddit.com/user/the-evil-bee

That looks delicious.

I’ve just got a sourdough loaf out of the oven that would go nicely with cheese.

I've read them but I disagree why do you keep restricting my voice?

I think your having a bit a mantrum tbh just stick to the rules and you can post

See this revolving cheeseboard with knives in it, is it like this?

Yes, although mine is plain wood on top.

I'd so go to this picnic. Armed with my cheeseboard, wine bag, and my normal picnic strategy of covering myself in glue and throwing myself round m&s food Hall.

Oh, I can so empathise with your M&S strategy - 'I'm only going in for a couple of things' I lie to myself. I went in the other day for a birthday card and ended up with Hog Roast sausage rolls and a bottle of Mimosa, among other things.

EdithStourton · 21/06/2025 18:45

I'm in. I'll bring raspberries from the garden gate stall along the road.

More buses AND a party bus

Can we get a party bus? We could get some karaoke going and shout 'we're the Queens of the wooooorrrld' out the sun roof at bemused passersby.

@WithSilverBells- I genuinely choose not to discuss the subject on here really as I don’t enjoy engaging in the discussions. I honestly didn’t post to get involved in a discussion on trans rights (I would have thought that was clear from my initial post) but to comment on the moderation approach on this subject which I would say has clearly shifted over the last few years and - across the forum - I don’t think moderation is consistent or particularly good. I honestly would have thought this was an uncontroversial position, but even that seems to have really pissed some people off, despite me holding this view as a gender critical lesbian. I definitely don’t want to engage further on the topic 😂😂 - Anyway, not meant at all arsey to you, just didn’t want to ignore your post.

Your response suggests you are hugely invested in the topic and perhaps yourself can’t see the situation regarding moderation on mumsnet with any clarity.
but even that seems to have really pissed some people off,

You seem to have a strange view on my comments. I am perfectly calm, not ‘hugely invested’ (any more than anyone else with an interest in discussing women’s rights) and (presuming that’s aimed at me) I am not ‘really pissed off’.

I just pointed out that you presented an opinion as if it were fact on a topic you admit you know little about (the contents and discussions in this forum as you apparently don’t hang out here much). I then tried to find some common ground by asking you a relevant question (on something you raised).

Your reactions to my posts are rather disproportionate.

Its interesting that you call yourself a gender critical lesbian, yet refer to posters on here as being against ‘trans rights’ but without specifying what you mean by that.

As a gender critical lesbian, what trans rights are you referring to? And why do you think that moderation is not as good now?

Oooh an outing, can I come? I'll bring a fruit salad. I might have got a little carried away this week when shopping.

I have a cheese board where the lid rotates off to use as the board and all the cute knives etc are inside......

Ooh, nice!

I've got a handy Lazy Susan to put the snack bits in.

If someone's got one of those glass dome things to put over the cheese, we're golden.

Ooh, I'm now in the mood for a cheese board. Some onion marmalade, some grapes and raspberries, 3 different cheeses (Boursin, Brie and a sharp cheddar) with those wee cheese knives in, schmancy crackers and some Japanese rice crackers. And a massive goblet of very, very cold gin and tonic (The Botanist and Fevertree).

Hmm, how might I facilitate this tonight...
