Republic
Religion is banned
Plant based diet compulsory
No private schools
Socialist government only
Do you think it would be nirvana or purgatory?

I'm not taking my shoes off every time I go into someone's house.

managedmis · 10/09/2019 20:25

Sorry, but there's no laughing out loud on this thread. What do you think it is?

BelindasGleeTeam · 10/09/2019 20:32

I cannot enter the pearly gates of MN heaven.

I'm afraid I am a slatternly housewife who doesn't change towels every day or bleach the entire bathroom. Or use zoflora to scent everything.

And I own bog brushes, and an SUV and my kids go to state schools shrugs

TrainspottingWelsh · 10/09/2019 20:33

No derxa offering snacks implies toast, or fruit or even crap at a time you might reasonably expect your dc to be hungry. Not a vast array of pretentious organic shite, which is probably Asda smart price sellotaped back into a Waitrose packet, unearthed from your ghastly handbag and waved above your head as you resolutely stump along after Hortencia under the illusion she will be ‘hangry’ if more than 30 minutes go without food.

MellowBird85 · 10/09/2019 20:34

I’m a step mum with EOW arrangement so count me out Wink

NearLifeExperience · 10/09/2019 20:37

No. I'd not be allowed.
I have tradesmen in at the moment. Not only do I allow them to use the toilet whenever they like, I left my 13YO DD in the house with them for a short while.

I didn't rescue my dog, he's a pedigree I bought from a breeder.

I don't get "girl crushes"

I am a lefty republican vegetarian though!

ReginaGeorgeous · 10/09/2019 20:40

I wouldn't be allowed in. I can't make a roast chicken last more than one meal.

ThePolishWombat · 10/09/2019 20:41

Regina well you’re fucked already on the basis of cooking a roast chicken in the first place!!
ANIMALS ARE FRIENDS NOT FOOD!!! Grin

BogglesGoggles · 10/09/2019 20:42

Ha ha no. We’d take off immediately (with our taxable income!)

Mooey89 · 10/09/2019 20:43

I leave my laundry out to get darked on all the time
I have no issue with unisex toilets 🙈 even when they have loo brushes in them
I feed my kid Pom bears
I am however a vegetarian and a socialist...
So maybe i’ll visit for a cup of tea?

ReginaGeorgeous · 10/09/2019 20:44

@ThePolishWombat good point! Are we required to make stir fries and curries for three years from a single nut roast?

TrainspottingWelsh · 10/09/2019 20:53

Nah, I reckon regina is ok on that front. Eating less cute creatures, or being cruel to any pets/ livestock/ wild animals & birds your dc wish to torment are ok. Provided you are against anyone culling deer or killing anything cute to eat.

Think it’s probably a no to have potatoes with it though because in mn land anyone eating carbs is, or will become 98 stone.

itseasybeingcheesy · 10/09/2019 20:56

Sounds like and episode of black mirror.

Can you imagine the AIBU police? Shock

ThePolishWombat · 10/09/2019 20:58

Regina as long as you cook it in a slow cooker, that might be allowed....

BEDinhalfanhour · 10/09/2019 20:59

No because of the shower thing -

If you shower every other day you are a minger/depressed/have no self respect.

If you shower more you must have OCD and people post how they feel desperately sad for you, that your life revolves around avoiding germs Hmm

31RueCambon75001 · 10/09/2019 20:59

Ha ha! Good question. Not sure. I left a bastard.
I have a pension. Do no harm. Take no shit. No cocklodging boyfriend. I'm not a cheeky fucker.

YaySeptember · 10/09/2019 21:10

I answer the door and am happy to do so. I don't mind people visiting without a prior arrangement. In mn-land I'd be told to fuck off because I go to other people's houses on the off chance they may be in.

camelfinger · 10/09/2019 21:11

No, I’m too fat (and it’s my own fault) and my kids are too unruly, although they do seem to get invited to weddings.

CountFosco · 10/09/2019 21:11

Is it always Gin o'clock? Or do we only drink a small glass of wine once every two years because any more than that and we obviously have a serious drink problem?

Justgivemesomepeace · 10/09/2019 21:17

No - i cant tilt my head and do a tinkly laugh, say 'that doesnt work for me' or 'did you mean to be so rude' without cringing with embarrassment. Nobody in my parallel universe would ever say those things in real life.
I also couldnt wear a Saltwater coat or Joules or Boden.

LittleSweet · 10/09/2019 21:22

No. I need a toilet brush.

Ronsters · 10/09/2019 21:30

No, I would be cast out as a subversive. I like my toilet brush and my carpet in my bathroom too much.

Bluntness100 · 10/09/2019 21:43

No, I wouldn't be allowed in. I drink, smoke, my daughter was privately educated, I drive a 4x4, happily answer the door, will even pass the time of day with the jehovahs witnesses, used child care whilst I worked through choice , didn't breast feed because I didn't want to, don't like to say cunt regularly, nor do I think it's big or clever to do so, and I have loo brushes.

And of course my biggest sin of all...I don't consider six donuts a portion whilst conversely making a chicken feed my family for a week.
