Wait. Was the offer to shag??

We’d make beautiful Scorpio / Taurus babies. OTOH, one of us would then have to look after them.

It was yes but I see what you're saying. I was probably a bit forward anyway.

Proj I believe TL loves babies, leave them on her doorstep.

Banning myself from the fat thread. Miserable cunts. MN is shit apart from here.

Oooh, my mum doesn't like my shepherds pie - go NC forever!
My husband doesn't like washing up - LTB LTB!!

All the competitive moaning - vommo.

It's like going to a public hanging, chilly.

I went on aibu once after a horrible man jumped out of his car and threatened me, apparently it was my fault for being there.

Oh Thigh that I hate my Mum thread was awful. Has nobody got a stiff upper lip any more? Obviously some posters had endured a shit childhood and that's bad, but there were a few people who came on to say their Mum was nice and they got shouted down! Competitive misery.

Thigh I banned myself from there yesterday and yet here I go again! I try so hard not to but it's a compulsion.

Do you think there is some witchcraft going on that won't let us leave the thread?

If so shall we all just post on it all day long and fill it up as soon as possible so that it's over?

I quite like cleaning threads as the other posters are more helpful, but that's about it.

I go on the FWR threads to keep updated on stuff but get so angry with the world I try and ration myself.

What is a cleaning thread Caroline?! Surely you don't clean stuff?

I like housekeeping, ethical living, baby names and credit crunch

I actually think there's a sector in AIBU attracted by the thrill of perceived opportunity to tear others down. Insecure bastards who need to project their own issues onto others.

Why can people never be found to be being perfectly reasonable?

I read a thread a few days ago written in broken English - not her first language you could tell but you got the gist. One poster had to say she just couldn't understand a word of it and didn't know what she meant at al. Why? Just why?

My guilty Mumsnet secret is that I was on the music WAG for about 20 threads! I'm bored of it now as the funny people have left.

TTT it's like watching someone else dig a hole in the road! Very soothing.

And if somebody asks if they can steam clean Karndean they don't get a pile-on for having an expensive floorcovering!

Thigh I love baby names :-)

My secret shame is S&B.

People kick for the most ridiculous things. They start fighting the most innocuous OPs - exactly as dog says, they’re just looking for opportunities for a fight.

There’s a persistent theme where some poor soul comes onto S&B to ask how old they look from a photo, and some nasty sod ALWAYS says 362 and then chastises her for being insecure.

It's very odd that we've built a lovely safe haven here whilst being filthy whoring murderers.

So soothing.

I have been known to go on the baby name thread but only to defend my dds name which most people on here seem to dislike!

Murderers must be good people really Thigh. Just misunderstood perhaps.

My Mum (not an Evil Bitch!) used to get a paper I think called The People's Friend. I believe it was Scottish based although we lived in soggy Lincolnshire.

Every week people wrote in with their housekeeping and handicrafts problems, eg they were looking for "days of the week" tea towels, say, or an out of production shade of knitting wool. The lady/ladies at the newspaper would track down whatever was required, and publish the contact details. It was often some little shop in Dundee.

It was a very cosy read.

Maybe one of us should post in AIBU 'I am a murderous whore who collects organs in a bucket, AIBU?'

I wonder if that would make the verdict 'YADNBU' just through fear of being harvested next?

Yes DT I think that is a good idea and you should go ahead with that. I'll back you up and confess to similar crimes.

YADNBU is a cute name.

Ok TTT but let's wait until the fat thread has run out of steam because it's taking up all of my life at the moment.

I also think it's saturated my annoyance tolerance levels.

Caroline I know The People's Friend, it is a bit like The Lady I think. Very comforting.

Just Googled The Lady and that's not the one I meant. Anyway a lovely man I knew used to sit and read the People's Friend.

I used to walk past this building on Fleet Street all the time and wonder about the People’s Friend. The shops were probably in Dundee because that’s where they were.
