So DH just asked does Dadsnet exist? So google it and yes it does. It's so dreary.
No wonder we have Dads arriving here, it's a bit like comparing Aldi with Harrods Food Hall, obviously Mumsnet is Harrods.

Ooh Viz.

Dh's reading material of choice. He once pulled a copyout of his hand luggage on a flight home from Naples, because he thought it would help my panic attack (flying phobia) He chose to open it up at "up the arse corner" The Japanese businessman sat next to me requested another seat BlushGrin

RIZZ0 · 05/02/2011 23:43

Grin been quoting Viz on a swearing thread ce soir.

Truckulente · 05/02/2011 23:44

It was a post about what football matches were on today.

Dadsnet at the moment brings to my mind a dusty room,with a shaft of sunlight sneaking through a crack in the curtain with the sound of a Grandfather clock ticking away, and old men asleep in their arm chairs.

bupcakesandcunting · 05/02/2011 23:45

dadsnet is like The Awakening

Pan · 05/02/2011 23:47

Good T., but UD's description of it being a tres quiet pub vault was excellent too. Just the way we like it....

Truckulente · 05/02/2011 23:48

UQDs post was excellent I may go and find it.

Pan · 05/02/2011 23:51

and we've got it looking so pretty as well.

Post by UQD

I have been here 4 years and Dadsnet has always been a bit like a quiet, empty bar with the odd bloke nursing a pint, some football on a screen in the corner, a buxom barmaid looking surly...

...and a loud, wild, hilarious party of mostly women going on in the room next door.

Occasionally a tipsy woman will stagger in through the doors, clutching a bottle, wearing a party hat and blowing a party vuvuzela. She will then laugh uproariously at us, say what a bunch of saddos we are in here and invite us to come in and join the proper place if we have the balls. She will then slosh and teeter her way back through the door again, cackling madly.
