The Mumsnet Assembly

21 replies

The hard bit would be to find a hall with a nice cold hard floor for us all to sit cross legged on. Mods would go down the sides to keep an eye on us, and Justine would lead it at the front.

The religious bit (though half of of would be allowed to sit it out) would be about how if Jesus was alive he would report trolls rather than engage.

Some hymns? Kum ba yah seems a bit wet for Mumsnet...

Fight the good fight?

Sisters are doing it for themselves? Maybe with an organ to make it a bit more assembly like.

I don’t mean that sisters are doing it for themselves with an organ.

I’m the oldest here, so I get to sit on the bench at the back and look down on the peons

iklboo · 10/09/2018 22:28

Oooh binary - how old are you? I'm wondering if I get to join you on the benches.

We'd have to say 'Good Morning Mumsnet Justine. Good Morning Everybody' at the start.

I always liked singing The Ink Is Black The Page is White

MrsMoastyToasty · 10/09/2018 22:48

Sing Hosanna, as The Women's Institute have already collared Jerusalem.

DrMadelineMaxwell · 10/09/2018 22:53

I can play all the old classic hymns on a dodgy piano in the corner.

I think on the whole, Mumsnet is probably more incontinent than your average primary school assembly, so which mod gets to hold the roll of tissues and look out for suspicious wiggling?

ErrolTheDragon · 10/09/2018 23:25

It must be nearly time for the special Harvest Festival assembly - what should we bring in our baskets (made out of shoeboxes in the last Craft lesson)?

00100001 · 11/09/2018 11:58

ikboo i'm actually going to be 11 in July...

iklboo · 11/09/2018 12:00

Oh wow that IS old! Can I do your pigtails during assembly? I've got a quarter of pear drops.

Goldenbug · 11/09/2018 12:20

You get to wear the Birthday Badge the whole day.

Why would it be in a hall? Surely it would be in some nice outdoor space , with catering from a well-known partnership?

iklboo · 11/09/2018 13:19

@ForalltheSaints - OP means assembly like you used to have at school. Not a grown up meeting Wink

00100001 · 11/09/2018 13:32

ikboo yes, but if we get in trouble you have to take all the blame. Miss says if I'm good, i MIGHT be able to change the hymn slides!!!!

ErrolTheDragon · 11/09/2018 13:36

Damn... I'm 12 so need to find the secondary school version. At least it probably won't have any religious bits.

iklboo · 11/09/2018 13:40

binary - I shall be very careful. I can't do detention as I've got recorder practice.

AdaColeman · 11/09/2018 13:48

There would be a percussion group playing to accompany some of the hymns, and enthusiastic rhythmic clapping from everyone else, the naughty ones would hand jive.

At the end of term assembly, plates of Rocky Road or brownies would be passed around by the monitors.

Goldenbug · 11/09/2018 14:45

Maybe we could have a recorder recital made up entirely of those 4 foot long ones that only the coolest people played?

I have been good all week so i get to do the overhead projector with the clear plastic sheets with the lyrics to our song.
