to use MN for my own nefarious ends?

In short, I've posted before to get (genuine) advice on certain things. DW stumbled across this the other day, but largely agreed with all the advice/comments (as had I previously), so that turned out nicely.

Now I'm thinking "aha - I could ask for advice on all sorts of stuff and skilfully direct DW to the threads". I've had to sort my username out of course (the last one's busted), but still... Mwahahahahaa!

AIBU?

Also, side question - on which of these topics am I most likely to get a favourable MNers response?

  1. Playing cricket one evening a week is good healthy exercise, and in the family's wider interest;
  2. Leaving pans to soak for a few hours* in the sink is an approved washing-up technique;
  3. Occasionally swapping over who goes on top can only lead to greater harmony and richness of understanding;
  4. That wasn't me, it must have been the dog.

Don't we all use it for our own nefarious ends?

No chance. None of the above. Learn your place (Mrs B will explain this).

I think we can see through that feeble excuse for number 3 on your list-you lazy fecker! Wink

Hey, it says "occasionally"...

Don't even try number 2.

Pans 'left to soak' attract almost as much vitriol as Per Una does in Style and Beauty.

  1. Providing that OH/dcs are consulted prior to any evening being set aside by the intended exercisee, and providing that any health benefit isn't undone by considerably more hours spent in a pub/bar immediately afterwards.
  1. Providing the leavee rises at crack of dawn to complete the chore in a noiseless manner. NB: Muchos brownie points can be scored if an habitual leavee buys a dishwasher, learns how to load/operate it, and uses it on a regular basis.
  1. Providing that the swapees are not of disproportionate weight and that BOTH parties consent.
  1. It is NEVER the dog unless said canine can provide signed declaration from vet certifying a predisposition to emit offensive noises, smells, or exhibit general clumsiness, etc.

  1. Sure! Turn over dear while I get Mr Big out of the drawer

Choices. Have a bash at all four, may as well hedge your bets.
