Breastfeeding threads will usually do it! Wink

TrillianAstra · 28/01/2011 14:05

Could you do better?

FabbyChic · 28/01/2011 14:05

I like the class threads! Middle Class-v-Working class! Bring em back I say.

AMumInScotland · 28/01/2011 14:07

The better kind at least have you wondering whether they are a troll, or just have a very strange life or attitudes. We haven't had any of those for a while, I think?

Much more "Fight! Fight! Fight!" trollery atm.

The important thing would be that you need to remember that you're only pretending to be a troll, even though everyone else would believe you were one. This is a major psychological difficulty, as if you spend too much time undercover there's a risk you'll convince yourself too....

You're trolling the pedants by stealth aren't you? Grin

TrollyMcTrollPants · 28/01/2011 14:21

All these modern-types giving us bridge-dwellers a bad name.

Just namechange and say "I'm a regular but I've namechanged, bat, redrug, cod, moldies, penguins"

Surely all the trolls have seen that written enough to know to use it themselves now?

wannaBe · 28/01/2011 14:27

I'm not always sure that the middle/working class/sahm/wohm bf/ff trolls are really trolls though. The reality is that there are people that hold all of those views. And if people just didn't rise to the threads they wouldn't take off.

As for the emotionally damaging ones, didn't we have enough of those last year?

MadameDefarge · 28/01/2011 15:33

I like funny trolling. LIke that one last year where the AIBU was about boyfriend spending too much time with shop mannequins

I think you should all stop faffing about on here and go have productive afternoons, bake a cake and put something pretty on for when he comes home.

MadameDefarge · 28/01/2011 15:40

apart from a few mosts are appalling

southeastastra · 28/01/2011 15:41

most not mosts

southeastastra · 28/01/2011 15:43

i don't get the could you do better comment - trolling isn't something this site needs imo

twirlymum · 28/01/2011 15:44

I've just baked a cake.
But it's for my mum's birthday tomorrow.

The one just before Christmas about her DH not booking a hotel room was funny.

MN badly needs a "like" button because I like this thread title very much.

I've now cooked beef stew braised in red wine, tomatoes and rosemary, to be served with fluffy mash and greens for 25, and a vegetable tagine with lemon couscous for veggies for 15.
