To love a good mumsnet bunfight?

[Saggyoldclothcatpuss]

Schools, teachers, formula feeding, whatever the subject it's great to watch. Like being in the playground all over again!

Amazinf BF. I find the same with Guido Fawkes Tory blog. I'm a bit of a champagne socialist myself, though that means further to the left of Clegg these days. But Guido postsers/followers are so, so, so funny.

I'll ready pretty much any of them, whatever the day because they just degenerate, in a totally different way to Mumsnet, but are abs hysterical. They're more like reading Viz and Private Eye together.

If you're into Current afairs/politics/bun fights I thoroughly recommend it.

I enjoy it too, however I can fail to stifle the desire to be flippant on occasion.

Nice to know I'm not alone.

Apart from right here, right now.

On a thread I've probably killed.

ah it feels like i have stumbled into confession! i LOVE bunfights and almost actively seek them out as an observer of course!

but she DIDNT ever want to sue the hotel chain did she

From me? If so why so many mums harbour jealousy and blank... here. Though I lied. It's still live ...

Or do you mean Guido ... here take your pick

Or do you not mean me!?

love the way innocuous threads can descend into mêlée.for no apparent reason.something as tame as ...

im off to put the kettle on then!

humph you're lucky you have a kettle
oi,are you saying im a bad mutha or sumat

aye folk like you all boden and kettles make me sick

...and so it goes

wee humphy faces and link to shitsville yooni school of social science and infant feeding usually indicate its all gone tits up

Pixie you went looking for a fight!

Fantastic.

Now your'e what makes Mumsent Musmnet.

Still, you just used me.

Which is quite mean and selfish.

Why are people on Mumsnet so mean and selfish?

thanks loopy

This is shaping up

Thank you loopy for giving me the link. Hope that helps Pixie

No probs. :)

wanker :)

me?

Umm, before I go to bed, could you tell me if a) that was to me, b) I've missed the point entirely or c) you have internet Tourettes?

What have I done?

loopy, it's because you used "no probs"

jameelaq HATES that phrase, there's a thread in AIBU about it.

I don't thinks she meant to call you a wanker seriously though.

love the supersoaker thread - despite being told no no no! over and over OP kept insisting everyone would LOVE her "boisterous" ds to turn up with his massive supersoaker. oh the mirth..

anyone see the chicken pox thread - jesus that had me ignoring DS for a good hour

actually that one started as a bunfight and then got all weird as a troll was outed. on the subject - does anyone else love it when a troll is uncovered?

sometimes they provide a welcome distraction with me feeling like one of the crowd who shouted "fight, fight" from the edges in the playground.

Other times I watch in horror as it gets really nasty and vile and people get badly affected by it, such as the thread summerbird just mentioned. I don't enjoy those at all, it makes me feel dirty.

just jumped on there to say that as a disclaimer (ie before i get flamed) i didnt particularly enjoy that last thread as nutella said it got quite nasty and vile. I felt quite freaked out by it all.

I am freaked out by the thread too summerbird . Its one of those situations where the thread was educating but vile and now theres bereaved parents affected and a possible troll (altho I'm still unsure if she is) and everyone is in limbo. Very sad when many of the 'bunfight' threads are funny. Supersoaker one springs to mind
