Did Matthew Wright just say that MNers have a limited grasp of English?

I'm sure he did, the cheeky fecker.

I happen to think that the standard of English on here is pretty darn good.

AIBU to want to kick him in the shins? Angry

I think he said very 'literate'... so you can rest easy!

Unrulysun · 04/11/2010 10:08

Where is this thread they're on about?

I hang around here all bleedin' day - how come I've missed this?

booboobeedoo · 04/11/2010 10:09

Oh no, take that back, he might have just said posters can't spell.

mamadiva · 04/11/2010 10:09

No he said 'limited grasp of English'.

You do have to love the fact that he bitches about MN so much but does'nt seem to have anywhere better to find stories...

And YANBU I want kick his little pixie ass sometimes :o

Coca · 04/11/2010 10:09

He did say limited grasp

buttonmoon78 · 04/11/2010 10:09

Serves you all right for watching said fecker!

mamadiva · 04/11/2010 10:10

Unrulysun it was on here last week AFAIK I could'nt make my mind up so did'nt post.

Coca · 04/11/2010 10:11

I normally like him but he does seem to have a bit of a mumsnet obsession lazy researchers

mamadiva · 04/11/2010 10:11

Background noise Button :o

Anniegetyourgun · 04/11/2010 10:11

Who/what is Matthew Wright, and why should we care?

EauRouge · 04/11/2010 10:12

Oh, is he still going?

bonfireblue · 04/11/2010 10:13

I think we should all apply to be in the audience and strike up a literary debate with him.

cupcakesandbunting · 04/11/2010 10:13

I only have the tellybox on because my stereo is broken and I like a bit of background noise whilst I MN work. Admittedly I could have chosen a higher quality of background noise. Blush

Should we just start a thread called,
"Isn't Watthew Wright a Bit of a Cunt?"

If we get to a 1000 posts surely he'll have to mention it on his show Grin

Rocketbird · 04/11/2010 10:14

Limited grasp? Bloody cheek. We know more insults than all the other forums (a?) put together. Knobend.

Unrulysun · 04/11/2010 10:14

Last week? Bugger me Matthew that's topical.

He's basically Jeremy Kyle with a slightly better class of caller innit?

buttonmoon78 · 04/11/2010 10:15

I'd post on that one!

Unrulysun · 04/11/2010 10:16

EvilDead please oblige.

mamadiva · 04/11/2010 10:16

LOL Evildead.

I realise it is a serious and sad story but HAHAHAHAHA at the fact he tried to mke us all out to be a shower of bastards for disagreeing then he got one call siding with him :o

Unrulysun · 04/11/2010 10:18

Also isn't the stat that 70% of MNers have a degree? Not that that's the only indicator of education but it does belie his statement somewhat.

anonymousbird · 04/11/2010 10:18

TED2 - start that thread and MN will go into meltdown with the stampede to post......

Couldn't pick him out in a line up, isn't he rather plebby/shocktastic TV type?

OP - YADNBU!!!

LynetteScavo · 04/11/2010 10:18

What were they discussing? Was it this?

cupcakesandbunting · 04/11/2010 10:18

LOL at Unrulysun Grin

He famously detests Kyle but I too fail to see much of a difference between them, the odious little twerps. They look alike, both appeal to the lowest common denominator and both unexplicably get to use the television as a soapbox for their moronic opinions.

anonymousbird · 04/11/2010 10:18

What is his story anyway, mamadiva?

Unrulysun · 04/11/2010 10:19

Sorry - I seem to have swallowed a pompous pill for that last post :(
