Do you like her tights? I have always thought opaque white with a diamond design a little outre. No?

Having no specialty, being not particularly funny and not usually all that controversial, I come on here to be entertained/informed/ignored by those who are Grin.

I don't give a fuck about being a somebody on an internet forum. The "MN Royalty" thing makes me cringe whenever anyone goes on about it. There are some nobbers on here who chuck their weight about because they've been here since Jesus walked. They're all idiots.

I just come on for a natter and a bitch about inconsequential shit. Suits me fine. Having said that, a MN royalty woman said "hello Cupcakes" when I posted on a thread the other day and I might have done a bit of wee.

PacificDogwood · 25/11/2010 10:05

Hmphf.

If you are looking for 'friends' on here you'd could try joining a regular thread ie threadkiller, lighter, pre- or postnatal or whatever applies to you. And post lots.

You will have NO RL, but become 'known' on MN

Hullygully · 25/11/2010 10:09

Did someone say something?

cupcakesandbunting · 25/11/2010 10:11

I think that someone said that Hully smells like fishpaste that's been left in teh sun too long.

pottonista · 25/11/2010 10:11

YANBU. But speaking as someone who does online community stuff for a living, I can tell you that every online community that has ever existed works like this and so it's no use grumbling.

JinnyS · 25/11/2010 10:12

It's just like any other internet forum. There will always be people that feel this way.

What you put into a community dictates what you get back

I'm new, not particularly controversial,have no specialities nor talent for humour but I feel quite welcome

ChickensHaveNoMercyForTurkeys · 25/11/2010 10:13

I love how cupcakesandbunting has such a twee name, yet is a total cowbag Let's be mates, cupcakes

Hullygully · 25/11/2010 10:14

Fishpaste. Yum. Love fishpaste. Especially salmon and shrimp. I had that in my white bread sandwiches for lunch every day for about seven years.

Sorry but who are you?

I need a new name :(

I joined with the intention of asking a specific question - never expected to stay.

Never asked the question though

cupcakesandbunting · 25/11/2010 10:17

DH used to have fishpaste sandwiches at school. He was always in such a hurry to get out and play football that he would put his crisps and Club biscuit into the fishpaste sandwich at wolf it all down to get out quicker.

Sometimes I think about that when we're kissing and it makes me feel sick.

ShatnersBassoon · 25/11/2010 10:17

It's good to blend in. People don't expect anything of you.

ChickensHaveNoMercyForTurkeys · 25/11/2010 10:18

I used to have fishpaste and tomato sandwiches. Sometimes the bones were still in it. I think my mum hated me.

cupcakesandbunting · 25/11/2010 10:19

There are about four regular posters that I always get confused. I think I was rude to one of them the other day thinking that she was one of the others, one that I don't like.

I need to make a list of MNers names that I do not like. I like about three so no need to keep a list of "like-ees"

ChickensHaveNoMercyForTurkeys · 25/11/2010 10:20

We all need spreadsheets. That's the next thing that MNHQ needs to get busy with. Interactive spreadsheets

Hullygully · 25/11/2010 10:20

Oh come on then, let's have the ones you don't like.

(is it that time, already?)
