I mean it's so clearly such a great stinking heap of horse shit, how can anyone actually believe it?
Another mum at playgroup today was telling me what kind of personality my 9 month old will have based solely on her star sign.
All pleasant enough stuff but she actually believed it.
What's wrong with people?

Do you have a grim life, Cote? I don't (my name notwithstanding). Maybe she was on totally the wrong thread and has slunk off with her stripey tail between her legs.

bettybosseye · 08/02/2011 19:55

What the hell is this tiger talking about? I didn't notice anyone being particularly nasty.
Hopefully she's gone back to netmums leaving the grown ups to talk.

Sometimes I just love AIBU :)
This is one of those times.

I mean, "Am I Being Unreasonable to sumtimes wander if star signs aren't always correct, no offense to ne1 but?" just doesn't work the same, does it?

GrimmaTheNome · 08/02/2011 21:21

Anyway, back to the OP I have finally got the answer to 'what is wrong with people?'

Most of them aren't Capricorns.

Oh dear as i thought PATHETIC Bitchiness Cote ...it is easy to slag people off on the net isnt it does it make you feel empowered, and to slag off someone's spelling mistakes oh lar di dar.....hahaha who are the grown hahaha so very childish whos the grown up here ?????? certainly not You dear!!!!!...Netmums ? are they nicer less bitchy people on there?? more open minded maybe....with better things to do ??
If i met you in the street i doubt you'd have the bottle to say a dickie bird PEOPLE LIKE YOU ARE SO SO SO SAD !!!!!

CoteDAzur · 09/02/2011 07:52

tiger - The chances of you and I meeting in RL are so small as to be astronomical. You get a say on the Internet, but unfortunately don't know what to do with it and end up posting garbled rants.

The way you write is that of an angry, confused & uneducated teenager. As I said before, that is not the kind of person anyone takes advice from (except maybe your peers) so do kindly buzz off to Netmums and BabyCentre whose members are more in your demographic. And their posts get deleted often for saying things they shouldn't so you will like it there.

Godspeed and good luck.

GrimmaTheNome · 09/02/2011 08:06

tiger, I think you've misunderstood the way MN works.

Monitors take note this site need monitoring

There are no 'monitors' as such. If you have serious issues with a particular post or a whole thread, what you do is click the Report button on the blue bar above a post and report it to MNHQ who will look at it and make a judgement.

You are perfectly free to do that. Or, if you have something to say on the topic of the thread, e.g. defend astrology, then please do join in properly.

Grin @ "grim life", by the way.

I live in a safe & wealthy Mediterranean town with with 350 days of sunshine per year, no traffic, no pollution, and pretty much zero crime. Winter is calm and pleasant, and we are on the beach most weekends as kids play in the sand and the playground while we have wine with our pizzas. Last weekend it was so warm that we were in t-shirts. And soon summer will come and everything will liven up even more. There are always some sort of cocktail, show, or exhibition to go to, but if we get bored, Italy is 15 mins drive in one direction, and some lovely French cities are 15-45 mins in the other direction.

Oh how "grim" my life is, tiger. Will you adopt me and give me a better one? Hmm

You come here all guns blazing, accusing people of not being civil, among other things and talking about your "backside" in your first post. Is that because your life is "grim"?

Anyway, the sisterhood of "women folk" at BabyCentre and Netmums will surely be happy to hold your had and give you many hugs and kisses as you tell them all about it.

cobbledtogether · 09/02/2011 08:35

Just wanted to mention that..

a) Astrology is complete and utter rubbish
and
b) I am so Envy of Cote that I could eat my own foot.

GrimmaTheNome · 09/02/2011 08:36

I thought my question was on safe ground but I didn't realise the extent of the non-grimness, you lucky so-and-so! Grin For some reason I'd not considered that your name might be your location.

Hey Cobbled, I live near Preston too. Not quite as nice here as the Cote D'Azur today!

cobbledtogether · 09/02/2011 08:50

No its currently peeing down. As usual.
I asked for my last comment to go as its a bit mean. I blame Cote for making me realise how grim it is here. Grin

CoteDAzur · 09/02/2011 11:01

Sorry for that Smile I don't usually rub it in but tiger did ask for it.

StuffingGoldBrass · 09/02/2011 13:35

Cote, you must have been.... born under a lucky star

tigertiger09 · 10/02/2011 15:40

Cote you have a perfect life ??? But why do you spend it everyday ranting on here ? Arguing with someone who is just laughing back at you, i dont care about what you think dear where you come from, you lost my respect from you from the first few words i read of you, i dont like people like you, and thank god i will never meet you !!!! So the thing is why dont you get your Lard Arse into gear and go out there and enjoy LIFE instead of sat arguing on the net you sad cow !

tigertiger09 · 10/02/2011 15:42

Amen ....fink i'll buzz off now and join a few freindlier souls...x Smile

AgeingGrace · 10/02/2011 15:51

Phew!
Her Jupiter must have been misaligned with her Mercury. Or something.

Cote, I'm on my way over. Open the Crozes-Hermitage, please, let it breathe Wink

nenevomito · 10/02/2011 16:21

I do love a spot of irony.

Is that from being a Leo or does it come from Uranus?

balloonballs · 10/02/2011 16:40

Tiger's run out of rescue remedy hasn't she, poor love.

She's going to have to pick all of those toys up when she's finished.

CoteDAzur · 10/02/2011 18:20

tiger - My life isn't perfect (nobody's is) and I don't go around boasting on MN but thought you might like to know just how off the mark you are with your predictions of my "grim life". I come on MN when I have free time, because I like it here - people speak their minds, most are intelligent and interesting, and there are always new topics to talk about.

"i dont like people like you"

You mean articulate people who can write in sentences and use punctuation marks? Well, if you must know, we are not all that crazy about the vulgar, uncouth, and barely-literate Wink

Have fun at Netmums or BabyCentre. Bye.

CoteDAzur · 10/02/2011 18:22

Grace - Funny enough, I am going to a wine tasting tonight. Here, have a Wine Grin
