To emigrate here from Netmums?

I'm running over here after a great many disappointing years on Netmums.

It's an over-moderated, under-imaginative and purile site where threads are deleted left right and centre because the OP (Or some other busybody) goes crying to the mods to have it removed.

Debate is definately NOT encouraged.

You must tow the line and accept a very rigid general view of parenting to be a Netmum. If I felt any more restricted I'd be in a straight jacket!

And excuse the FUCK out of me for needing to swear every now and then.

Oh yeah, feeling much better now!

Your name is an anagram of 'so amused'.

ThePosieParker · 18/08/2011 20:49

In certain areas in scotland a "hun" is a rangers football club supporter,

so everyone in netmums is a gers supporter ? Hmm

And can someone please tell me , "what the fuck is a ticker ? "

Confused
MigratingCoconuts · 18/08/2011 20:51

oh, I thought the name was some sort of ref to mozart (I go for classy names like that!)

notbothered · 18/08/2011 20:54

yeah fucking ticker. hates some fucking words i cant understand (and thats a lot of words becuase im fucking foreign)

Asmodeus · 18/08/2011 20:54

droves a ticker is a counter that shows your baby's pic and exact age. Sometimes name as well. I have never seen the point.

As for the Rangers thing I'm from just outside Glasgow amd it did take me a second to realise no-one was talking about fooball Blush

I emigrated from NM about 3 years ago and haven't looked back. The local boards there are better, but I mainly lurk post here.

I never fitted in there anyway because I can actually write coherently in English.

notbothered · 18/08/2011 20:57

wots coherently? (i feel like twat)

Asmodeus · 18/08/2011 20:58

Is there a spellcheck on this site? I'm a bit poor of sight and hit the wrong keys on occassion. Spellcheck usually saves my blushes :)

MigratingCoconuts · 18/08/2011 20:58

I have never actually looked at NM and I have to say that you are not selling it hugely.

Asmodeus · 18/08/2011 20:59

MigratingCoconuts I'd never try to sell it. Pay people to stay off it, maybe!

WiiUnfit · 18/08/2011 20:59

Welcome to MN hun Grin

I feel dirty even joking about it...

Asmodeus · 18/08/2011 21:00

notbothered Coherent = understandable.

Asmodeus · 18/08/2011 21:00

And you said TWAT. I likes it!

CheerMum · 18/08/2011 21:01

i'm also a nm convert, it is SO much more fun over here. i LOVE the fact that you can swear on here. though i didn't feel a proper part of MN until i'd had a post deleted (got into a screaming swearing rant one friday night hehe)

notbothered · 18/08/2011 21:01

asmodeus do you do bumsex?

notbothered · 18/08/2011 21:02

thanks hun for coherent... i learn every day...

MigratingCoconuts · 18/08/2011 21:03

and, this is important, what are your views on fruitshoots?

Asmodeus · 18/08/2011 21:04

Eeep! Over-hunning. I'm being hunned from all angles! Be fair folks, I've just had a shower. Don't make me need to go back!!!

SarahStratton · 18/08/2011 21:04

And dragon butter?

Asmodeus · 18/08/2011 21:05

MigratingCoconuts my main issue with Fruit Shoots is that they taste just awful!!! The Asparatime content doesn't eaxctly fill me full of cheer either, mind you!

MigratingCoconuts · 18/08/2011 21:08

By the way DVDA...

I only found out about this one today (forgotten which thread) and maybe I am being completely unimaginative but is that actually possible??

freybean · 18/08/2011 21:08

i use to be a member of the dark side

until someone there posted a link to this site and i've never looked back

youarekidding · 18/08/2011 21:09

I don't know. NM can be fun at times. Wink
