Is she wearing the silver puffa coat and a furious expression.

God I haven't watched it for years, last time I sqw it Dirty Den was in it (for the seciond time). With Letitia Deans lips quivering.

Ah, St Biddulph

I am raising a boy scottishmummy who is breastfed as it happens...

Anyway, before I retire from the thread I just want to say that BoF's phrase, "wanking on about" is bloody brilliant. I shall be stealing adopting it in RL. And certainly when I go back to work. Very handy for summing up meetings I think.

FellatioNelson · 26/07/2010 21:08

Me too VV. Poor kids never get a minute's peace! MY fifteen year old thought he'd try his luck at saying 'We was' the other day. I nearly put him up for adoption.

at the cancel ..gerrout of my pub... I've gone all Peggy Mitchell

FellatioNelson · 26/07/2010 21:15

what is precious moments please?

FellatioNelson · 26/07/2010 21:15

I lower-cased that w on purpose BTW...I wanted it like that.

scottishmummy · 26/07/2010 21:18

precious moments are baking,craft activities,and child velcroed to your hip so you dont miss a single precious moment.unlike avaricious absent working mums who forgo all attachment and contact for mere money

GetOrfMoiLand · 26/07/2010 21:20

WOHM/SAHM threads standard MN top trumps

SAHM

Oh but HOW can you go to work all day for MONEY and miss all those PRECIOUS MOMENTS.

Cue other key words such as selfish, career obsessed, mindless, neglectful blah de blah.

Cue verbal napalm from WOHMs.

Etc etc ad infinitum

scottishmummy · 26/07/2010 21:25

martyr mum is aligned to precious moments too.A giving things up competition (not the ole broadband though).no consumer durables,hand knitted tampons,strained cheese for dinner.and prone to say "cant you down size?"...forgetting to mention her alpha male husband earns gazillions and she doesnt need to work.

FellatioNelson · 26/07/2010 21:25

Of course. Thank you.

MiladyDeSummer · 26/07/2010 21:27

Well I bloody well didn't say that. I'm not a SAHM by choice and win MN Top Trumps with S.N child in any case

All I said was that I didn't like the inference that non-working MNers were illiterate.

Or should that be "implication" I wonder. There was a recent argument about that as I recall.

So much for retiring from the thread. Who's up for a weaning debate?

scottishmummy · 26/07/2010 21:29

mn perennials for argy bargy
bf/ff
working/sahm
private school
...and if you can incorporate all of them in a single thread you get triple mn points

usualsuspect · 26/07/2010 21:33

Child ear piercing for bonus points

scottishmummy · 26/07/2010 21:36

ah yes erroneous of me to omit that gem

PosyPetrovaPauline · 26/07/2010 21:37

might be nasty and childish but the fact is you WILL be judged by an awful lot of mumsnetters for grammatical faux pas - so long as you know...

typos no issue

scottishmummy · 26/07/2010 21:38

mn posters judge for a fuckin living.dont need an excuse.any thread can kick off.spelling related or not

usualsuspect · 26/07/2010 21:39

I know ..but still don't care

FellatioNelson · 26/07/2010 21:42

I agree Posy. And even diabolical spelling can be excused on the grounds of dyslexia or plain drunkenness. But say 'We done' or 'they was' and we will come for you with pitchforks and burning torches.

abr1de · 26/07/2010 21:47

The only time I have to do it is when people are extolling the virtues of independant and grammer schools.

usualsuspect · 26/07/2010 21:47

I have trouble with of and off ..shall I leave ..nah, I like to think of the nothing better to do pedants quivering and twitching at my mistakes

FellatioNelson · 26/07/2010 21:54

I watched a programme about jobless men in Wisbech competing for work with migrants thew other day, and the main man showed the camera his record of job applications (a printed form from the jobcentre) where he'd listed all the vacancies and then written 'Sent of CV' next to every one, all the way down the page. It ruined my evening.
