You 'orrible lot!!!

Why is baby Jesus crying? I didn't get this on the NM thread. [thick emoticom]

Casey76 · 24/05/2011 17:15

Probably due to the single mother poster who called me a sluuuuuuuut when I helpfully suggested that she did what I do and sleep around play the field.

My wife loves NM but I prefer MN because everyone is hnoest and I get a laugh out of most people not taking things to seriously but reading the other post most people were being very reasonable and a few flitter between the two.

'Hmm, I can't for one minute believe that the SN pages we horrible to her about a toy. Nope nope nope.'

That was probably me, 5inabed. We had some woman come on and ask about designing a toy or a game for a child with additional needs, and she seemed to want it to be all things to all children of every need and ability and age. So I, and a few others, advised her to narrow the specs down to thinking of a target audience, and a specific disability and she got very arsey about it all and ended up flouncing off.

fishtankneedscleaning · 24/05/2011 17:20

Is NM Marta on here? God I hope not....... Not two forums surely...... PLEASE!

5inthebed · 24/05/2011 17:24

If that was the case, she set herself up for that one.

Link to SN thread please Goblin? PM me if you like.

WorzselMaamage · 24/05/2011 17:25

It started last night because some twassock came here and posted "Thankfully it wasnlt cancer, but I did buy a wig in case" in a bragging post about how chillies got her pregnant ( yes honestly!) and how she was going to be in Real idiot People magazine next week, having sold her story to fund her emergency hairpiece collection.

Quite rightly we were all a bit Hmm about it and may have ripped the piss a tiny bit.

She got all affronted and scuttled of to nethuns crying about how we'd quashed her joy.

Was funny as fuck.

Casey76 · 24/05/2011 17:27

'Link to SN thread please Goblin? PM me if you like.'

I've had a look, but the thread has gone. We really just wanted her to understand that to try and make an item useful, she had to know what she was trying to achieve with it and her target audience, but she wouldn't have any of it and got very stroppy.
It didn't matter to her if the child had CP, CF, ASD, ADHD, visual impairment or hearing loss and she couldn't see why some of us thought that a generic board game concept could be so much more interesting and useful with a bit of thought.
Or it could have been someone Completely Different, but that's the latest ruck about a toy down in the SN cellar.
