Oh dear, how sad, never mind.

TroubleWithNargles · 16/07/2019 16:45

Do the storage solutions include a newspaper recycling bin? Grin

SlocombePooter · 16/07/2019 17:27

I'd hate the world to know I'd slept with any politicians. I agree it's a shame.

Confused
SparklyMagpie · 16/07/2019 17:34

Huh?

NeverGotMyPuppy · 16/07/2019 17:37

Could someone who knows what is going on please explain, preferably in full sentences?

ScreamingValenta · 16/07/2019 17:40

Bertrand has been mentioned in the Times.

ElevenSmiles · 16/07/2019 17:41

Were you hoping for a mention OP ?

ilovesooty · 16/07/2019 17:42

Surely everyone knows by now that anything you post might be printed in a newspaper along with your username?

Singlenotsingle · 16/07/2019 17:43

Why is OP blaming the DM? Unless.... nah! I give up!

Soola · 16/07/2019 17:47

Some of them don’t understand the workings of posting on an open forum!

Modern journalism has for quite some time gleaned stories from chat forums but some can’t quite grasp this!

Isatis · 16/07/2019 17:57

So what does The Times say about Bertrand, given that it's behind a paywall?

MrsTommyBanks · 16/07/2019 18:11

I was a DM headline once. The words I uttered to then husband after giving birth, as quoted on here.
Not a shiney shit given.

Soola · 16/07/2019 18:14

@MrsTommyBanks Flowers congratulations! Grin

MrsTommyBanks · 17/07/2019 13:03

Thank you @Soola.
Signed copies of the article are available on etsyGrinGrin

SlocombePooter · 17/07/2019 13:33

Fantastic MrsTommy ! One for the family album ;-)

ShirleyPhallus · 17/07/2019 13:37

Pretty sure some MN regulars would love to have their name splashed over the media tbh

magimedi · 17/07/2019 13:41

Here's the piece the OP was on about:

"MUM’S THE WORD
A forum on the Mumsnet website asks readers: “Have you slept with Boris Johnson? Statistically, one of you must have.” So far any Boris-bonkers are keeping mum, though one, with the nom de touche of Bertrand Russell, claims she has bedded “two MPs and an ex-party leader”. Mumsnet invited both Tory leadership candidates to do an interview but was rejected, meaning we don’t get to know the answer to the obligatory Mumsnet question about their favourite biscuits. My lackey Jack quips: “I hear that Boris prefers a crumpet.”

ErrolTheDragon · 17/07/2019 13:52

I seem to remember that post @BertrandRussell , but it was quite a while ago unless she's repeated it.

ErrolTheDragon · 17/07/2019 14:04

Sir Tim forced to up stumps

The thread was from September last year, so I'm guessing the diarist was challenged to make a link, however tenuous, between Johnson and an eminent philosopher.Grin

LikeDolphinsCanSwin · 17/07/2019 14:05

She hasn’t been named Hmm

Isatis · 17/07/2019 14:11

one, with the nom de touche of Bertrand Russell, claims she has bedded “two MPs and an ex-party leader”

Hmm, ex-party leader who presumably didn't make it to PM (otherwise she'd have said so). That's quite a limited field. My money's on Kinnock.

SlocombePooter · 17/07/2019 14:14

Urgh Isatis what a thought! Maybe they weren't all Labour, though? Brexit Party maybe?

ErrolTheDragon · 17/07/2019 14:19

Brexit Party maybe?

We can rule that out at least, as the thread in question predates the founding of the BP.
