Hi there girls (or should I say ladies, I know how 'PC' you lot are).

I hear you have some questions for me? Well go ahead, I won't bite - unless you want me to, of course Wink

Why doesn’t English have a adjectival gerundive Barry?

JesusInTheCabbageVan · 22/08/2019 20:40

Raining now that worries me a little bit, I'm not going to lie. However, luckily for you, this little beauty is coming soon! Apparently it's only going to be available in pink, but as you can see, it does have silver bits, and it meets your other specifications perfectly!

Barry, what did you think about this article on parasites in the Bronze Age?

Forget Alexa and Echo , every home should have a Barry !

RedHatsDoNotSuitMe · 22/08/2019 23:51

Baz, mate. I'm a man.

Mate, you've got it all wrong, mate. These birds on here, they're all gagging for it. All of them. You think they care about the questions they're asking or the answers your giving them?

Ner, they just want you to sort them out.

Best shags I ever got, once I joined MN.

Why do you think they're posting on here, Barry? Think their men can sort 'em out? Course they can't. They wouldn't be on here otherwise.

Of course, they can't say that... They're women.

So they're all on here
"oh, it's my mother-in-law"
"oh, it's my children"
"oh, it's the school"

The ones you really want, Baz (you get to learn to spot 'em) it's the ones who hate their husbands. Or the single ones. They'll take anything!

You just have to do a bit of arm around the shoulder, pretend to listen, offer a hanky.

I tell you, mate, I've been knee-deep in it since I joined. A bit of nodding and understanding and they're throwing their knickers at you faster than you can offer them a hanky.

Take these posts from the first page of your thread

yes I have copied them into word and then pasted them back on here

Barry, however hard I try at my yoga class I just can’t get into the lotus position. Do you have any tips?

Passthecherrycoke Thu 15-Aug-19 14:30:26
Barry, I have a theory that men of a certain age like trump because he represents everything they secretly admire- a rich powerful man, thick as mince but still convinced he’s right, a pussy grabber who takes whatever he wants from whoever he wants it from, a man who has gone bankrupt a number of times to avoid paying supplies and government taxes, a man who will say anything and back anyone to get what he wants no matter who gets in his way. They want to be him

What car do you drive, Barry?

Gazelda Thu 15-Aug-19 20:41:09
Barry, what cure do you recommend for a boil?

MrsMoastyToasty Thu 15-Aug-19 21:38:35
Barry, milk then coffee or coffee then milk?

Barry, we’re being badgered to get a family dog but I know I’ll end up doing the poop duties. I don’t fancy it. I’ve heard of cats that are trained to use the loo, do you think I could do the same with a dog ( and teach them how to flush too of course)

Scruffalicious Thu 15-Aug-19 23:50:27
Barry, what's the optimum way to shut a door?

EVERY word a euphemism.

Not one of those birds cares about the "questions" they're asking you.
Each and every one of them is just saying "Fuck me, Barry. Fuck me now!"

Mate, I take my hat off to you with this thread. It's gold, mate. Pure gold.

But you're wasting it.

These birds want one thing and one thing only. Give them what they want. Give them Barry (and pass them onto me when you're done!)

I understand that Mrs Barry is the luckiest ‘girl’ alive. What advice do you have for us ladies to keep our relationships alive and as fulfilling as your own appears to be?

Greenteawhisky · 23/08/2019 00:20

Barry, I’ve lost my car keys. Where are they?

And don’t say “in a bowl with the other neighbours’ car keys” Hmm

AnneKipanki · 23/08/2019 07:42

How do you boil an egg ?

I think I must be doing it too vigorously as the shell cracks and stuff comes out the side .
How can I stop this ? Don’t tell me to fry or poach instead.

AnneKipanki · 23/08/2019 07:43

@RedHatsDoNotSuitMe , I think Barry is actually female .

everywhichway · 23/08/2019 08:28

I think RedHats might be too Anne.

TDogsInHats · 23/08/2019 08:47

I am devastated that you've not mentioned Cillit Bang, Barry. I often puzzle as to the brilliance of its name, but also wonder how you chose it.

AnneKipanki · 23/08/2019 09:53

[grin} every

RedHatsDoNotSuitMe · 23/08/2019 09:59

@AnneKipanki - I've had her. She likes a bit of it.

@everywhichway - and her. EVERY which way!

AnneKipanki · 23/08/2019 10:16

What about @EmpressLesbianInChairpress ?

AnneKipanki · 23/08/2019 10:17

I do not know how press got on the end , that introduces a different spin on it .

It was a joke .

Apologies for bringing you into it @EmpressLesbianInChair.

[This bit is in brackets because it's an aside.

Please let us not get this very witty thread deleted due to squabbling.]

I hope this isn't too personal, Barry, but what are your feelings on red trousers for men?

CountSnackula · 23/08/2019 12:13

Hi, Barry.

Something I've always wondered: are woodlice actually just miniature armadillos?

EmpressLesbianInChair · 23/08/2019 12:20

Thanks for your apology, Anne.

MichaelMumsnet · 23/08/2019 12:26

Dropping by to delete a couple of posts in the hope of getting things back on track. Peace and love (and Flowers)

AnneKipanki · 23/08/2019 12:30

Barry , what do you think would be the best invention to make our lives easier ( apart from yourself )?

Greenteawhisky · 23/08/2019 14:49

Barry, where are you???
