to be REALLY annoyed with netmums?

[MardyBra]

Disclaimer: This is NOT a netmums bashing thread. Each to their own and all that, BUT...

I wish, I wish, I wish that several years ago I hadn't looked at netmums and subsequently dismissed "parenting" websites as dull, trite places with earnest mums discussing potty training and the advantages of huggies over pampers.

I was completely put off and only strayed onto MN about a year ago (namechanged a bit while I made an arse of myself at the beginning).

If only I'd got confused and typed MN instead.

Or I could have witnessed the cod worship in her heyday...

or a nice shall i pick my verruca or poke mil thread

nice

there was no mn heyday,transient fun bibble babble.all ye tales of my back door was always open (o'er missus) and knew everyone else... is frankly chuff

best bit
now is bigger
more random
and few invasions to see off

"wasnt like this in ye olde days of good spelling and lovely syntax"

Ah, I have truly found my spiritual home in Pedants' Corner.

'Nowt like that on NM. (Maybe they have txtspk courner).

Absolutely agree with SM.

Drop the what if, I coulda been a contender shite.

MN is what YOU make it. Today.

OK so no heyday. But it would have been nice to have discovered it sooner and discovered what all the mums at the school gates were judging me about at the time...

I do prefer a nice..
'Can i squeeze my teenage son's spots'
Or
'My MIL is such a bitch'....
Or
'I have hairs on my chin..what shall i do'?

Oh shit, you're actually taking me seriously?

Plenty of chin hairs - could have got rid of them a couple of years ago with MN!

if you want to hang with the actually its a split infinitive blah blah crew,jump in.no queue's just them bumping gums.no shitty stick beating you off that lot

no one much bothers with them

they however bother with everyone else and decline of mn and written words

Goodness, no

I like to deliberately split infinitives, "actually".

I'm glad I found it when I was pregnant cos I've found out so much useful stuff. However I almost wish I hadn't cos I dread to think how many hours I've wasted on here when I should have been doing something else .... like sleeping.

at big scottish hoor

Um, sorry (only been on MN two years so relative newbie) but if you know about cod and royalty and moldies, you've been around for a while so your obv taking the piss :o

Loving the idea of scottishmummy being called a big Scottish hoor, arf :o

But seriously, those f*king tickers...

Oh shit - I thought this was Netmums...

I sometimes wish I had discovered MN earlier then I remember I had no interest in anything baby or child related :o

I must admit, due to comments on other forums I always kind of lumped netmums/mumsnet together - to my eternal shame.

netmums makes my teeth itch, and don't even start me on the tickers (9 minutes, 43 seconds until my precious little snugglebum needs his nappiewappiewoo changing).

I started lurking here a wee while ago, and was pleasantly surprised - find myself flicking through the threads most days and invariably howling with laughter at some stage.

I started on babycentre. Apparently it is wrong to call someone a "troll", but you can say their behaviour is "troll-like". I couldn't return as the flashbacks to primary school were too painful.

pahhhhahaahaahaaa @ scottishmummy on netmums.

funnyist image in my head today,
they will all be horrified

SMP, Absolutely hilarious!!

These "moldies" ought really to be spelling their moniker "mouldies".

Surely such spelling sets a bad example for those of us wet behind the ears!
