To think there should be a spechul newbie section....

[DrPolidori]

where they get broken in gently?

Why does Pagwatch get the sorting hat?

Not fair.

shakey swear now get your first rant off now and you will find it much easier as time goes on

But is it a green beret?

It's like First Form at St Claires but with more whining.

Actually that thread was about loads of stuff to do with language, consideration, personal vendettas and band wagons. To say it was about 'idiot' and 'loon' is simplistic at best

Sure, I can't summarise 200+ posts in one line, I was just pointing DrP to the one I meant.

I see what you mean about arguing over everything :)

Am I the only newbie who fell into Mumsnet with consummate ease then? I don't think if particularly managed to fuck anyone off yet.

Why not insist that newbies have a red L after their name for their first six weeks of posting, so they can be kindly shown their faux paux so they are settled in and ready to cope before its removal?

me stamping foot and going off in a huff

Devonshire, its called flouncing here. And very disapproved of.

Get it right....there is NO first form at St Clare's.

The O'Sullivan Twins
Summer term at St Clare's
Second form at St clare's

Fifth Formers of St Clare's.

Its a raspberry beret, in honour of the Tiny One.

Did you find it in a second hand store dr P?

There must have been a first form, reeling. As in the first form they were there

I bow to your superior memory.

I very much like to blow raspberries.

St Clare's are much superior to Malory Towers.

I have 'em all.

But i will allow that the Twins were once in the first form.

oh, the Twins at St Claires were first form. My. were they the uppity newbies, with their sense of superiority, evening gowns and suchlike!

Where is hully. the last thing I saw her on was when she was tipsy after a PTA bash, but that was aaaaaaages ago, anyone seen her? Down the back of the sofa? In the kitchen drawer?

Anyone tried yelling? If we all shout together, ONE, TWO, THREE.........

Uppity. They needed Squashing. Then they developed a pash on someone and played the game.
I am lumping them all together in my mind now.

Nothing second hand for my mentors, oh no. (hides receipt from Oxfam)

Honesty, the truth is, my berets were from a poorly dyed batch for the red berets, the big girls blouses refused to wear 'em

honey and sue you didn't join in. No wonder she didn't reply, now, let's try again.....ONE, TWO, THREE....

HULLY! WHERE ARE YOU?

Didn't they object to going on forced marches healthy walk in their high heels?

Yeah..where is Hully?

Hullys having Holibobs as far as I am inadequately, admittedly aware. I don't think she'd hear you what with this being written down. Perhaps if every Mnetter yells out their window on a count of three one of us might be next door and she'll hear and get online?

Sorry. Hulllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

You could borrow the wolef sky symbol?

I think Hully is not so far away.

I do actually swear like a trooper (trouper?) in RL. Weirdly, birth mother will not flinch at the word "fuck" but will do a cats bum face at "crap".

I'm a fan of swearing. Particular favourite is twat (I know it's swearing per se but...) it can be said with such venom :)

Small swearing related anecdote- Played "Rita" in Educating Rita tears ago, am dram. The commitee, yawn, decided in their wisdom that the line "fucking pheasants" be replaced with "frigging pheasants" so as not to upset the old folk who ventured out of an evening to see us. I despaired.
