to have signed up to Netmums...

[gapbear]

...just to see the signatures?

Never been on Netmums before, but the Banned from Starbucks thread intrigued me with all the allusions to hilarious signatures and glitter.

Oh, I may have tarnished the Mumsnet part of my soul, but boy, was it worth it! I haven't laughed so much since, well technically since this afternoon when one of my class said something that really tickled me - but you get the idea..

Just be careful of your eyes with all the tickers hun

lots of forums on the internet ,different strokes and all that ..its not for me but clearly some people like it

Aw Hun, bless you & have a hug.

YABVU tickers v glitter = twats.

PMSL @ TSF.

u do what u want hun ur puter ur choice

lol - it's not quite as insane as I'd imagined, but I definitely prefer Mumsnet

I'm staying registered now, knowing that a complete stranger's Lil Man is 7 months, 2 weeks, 2 days, 1 hour, 34 minutes and 3 seconds old somehow makes the world seem a lot more...funny.

what are "tickers" ??!!

I can't abide tickers, I think if you have to have a sig, it should be a restricted size. It has to be on eBay not sure why other forums cannot moderate the overuse of sigs. It does differentiate posters though and I like them but not glitter/moving sigs and certainly not tickers.

Mate of mine had a ticker on FB and we have all been laughing because it is saying that her bean is now 42 weeks old despite being born two weeks ago. She hasn't had a chance to delete the bloody thing obviously

I signed up a while ago for the local info. I don't go on the chat boards. Too many tickers and shit.

Another forum I go on, Farmville (yes, I am a loser with no life, I have accepted this, and moved on ) has sigs, which are also limited in size. I agree, I like sigs, but not tickers, and I would never have a twee one like the ones over there (although I am all for other people having them so I can read them...)

jazz - tickers are little counters with cutesy pictures on counting days of pregnancy / DCs age / time til next nappy change, you name it

tickers

wtf???

Luteal Phase Length ticker? Why the hecky thump would I want anyone to know that?

Ooh, I could use a ticker to show how old my horse is. If I had one. Or when my cat needs worming.

This is a whole new world for me - thatnks MillsAndDoom

DD1 is 9 years 4 months 2 days 4 hours & 6 seconds old.

I'm 6 hours pregnant & little bean is the size of a, erm.... sperm

I've been with dp 1 day 3 hours & 6 seconds

I do like their smileys though, they can neck pints, slam their head against brick walls & throw sledge hammers at the computer screen.

Love the TTC one - does that actually register how many times you have SWI? Kerrrazy! I think I need a ticker counting how many times I say the word 'f*ck' in one day .

2 mins, 54 seconds since I last scratched my arse

4 mins, 12 seconds til I have sex with DH

9 mins, 12 seconds til I can go to sleep

Is it wrong to want a ticker now?

Mine would go from 1-1,000, and show my progress of Malteser eating.

I could have a consumption of wine in one evening ticker but I would want the option to hide it.

Actually, Gapbear, YABVU, as it is your fault I am addicted to started using THIS site, and now you've got me tempted to have a look at another!

Don't do it cat it's so fluffy & lovey, you can't even say: laughed my piss flaps off or anything.

Ooh, hello Catnao! Sorry about the loss of your social life wrt Mumsnet, but we do like it, don't we?

What would happen if I joined and put a ticker thing on detailing the worst excesses of my lifestyle?

Shut up gapbear! Of course we don't LIKE it, it's an addiction like any other and should be pitied!

Your computer would explode...
