Just sayin.

Nethuns?

Glitterknickaz · 06/09/2011 13:45

Now this could be amusing.....

SuePurblybilt · 06/09/2011 13:46

Is that a vermicious knid?

So if I made myself a sweary ticker and went to play on NM, I could?

GeneralCustardsHardHat · 06/09/2011 13:46

lost

ColdSancerre · 06/09/2011 13:47

But you can only see the tickers if you sign up? Am I going to have to sign up in order to read sweary sparkly tickers?

SuePurblybilt · 06/09/2011 13:55

I am so glad MN does not have tickers. I realise that if they did introduce them, the vast majority of people would not bother or do a funny one.
But the rest - it would make me properly hate people for no other reason than they've listed themselves as 'Sister to Jools, Mummy to Caleb, lil Princess Jade and Tearaway Malachi, wifey to gawjuss hubbie Dave [who always looks either like a potato or a weasel] and Mommy to my Stupidly Exotic Pet, Taramunchkin.'

I fear it would bring out the latent bitch in everyone Grin

hobnobsaremyfavourite · 06/09/2011 14:07

what the fuck is a ticker? Grin

HappyMummyOfOne · 06/09/2011 14:41

I still dont think I could bring myself to have one regardless. From what I recall they either tell you the point of someones menstrual cycle or the awful names that people give their children.

I love the fact that MN has no tickers and would hate them to change it.

My midwife gave me a leaflet for Netmums when I had DS, it seemed to appeal to a certain group of people whereas Mumsnet has a mix.

thefirstMrsDeVere · 06/09/2011 14:44

I love tickers.
They are brilliant.

I have said admitted this before.

They are the only way I know how old my kids are or how many weeks pregnant I am (when I am pg obviously).

Without them I would be lost.

I also enjoy having one for my 17 year old. Mwah ha ha

SuePurblybilt · 06/09/2011 14:48

You are allowed MrsDV, in a maverick, bucking-the-trend fashion. Are you the poster who has tickers so big they've broken NM before now? Grin. That's gone down the 'so bad it's arrived back at good' road and so exempt fom piss taking.

Honeydragon · 06/09/2011 14:51

So if I went on to Nethuns now I could make my ticker say coming to you from the far side of fuck and they could do nada?

Honeydragon · 06/09/2011 14:53

Sue how right you are. It is a FACT that any man described as gawjuss, in a non ironic fashion, will indeed look like a Potato or Weasel.

RockStockAndTwoOpenBottles · 06/09/2011 14:55

Yes, but the fact remains that They. Are. Still. Fucking. Annoying. Tickers.

Honeydragon · 06/09/2011 14:58
nickelbabe · 06/09/2011 14:59

do they really?
Shock

lovely.

now, if someone could tell me how to put a bloody ticker on, i would be grateful.

RockStockAndTwoOpenBottles · 06/09/2011 15:10

Honeydragon thank you - needed!

MissMap · 06/09/2011 15:17

Oh I see, I had been going to ask do Waitrose sell them or would I have to go to Asda?

ViolaTricolor · 06/09/2011 15:19

Grin SuePurblybilt. Vermicious knids would be ideal for a ticker.

thefirstMrsDeVere · 06/09/2011 15:22

Yes indeed Sue. I have had TWO warnings from NM about the size of my tickers

Grin
ShoutyHamster · 06/09/2011 15:23

tick tick tick it's only 41 days until the new baby weaselpotato arrives, can't wait lol love LATENT BITCH

that's what mine would say

TheVermiciousKnid · 06/09/2011 15:26

Hey, I don't think I would like to be used as a ticker! Shock Angry

If I had a ticker, it would say:

x days, x hours and x minutes since I started this ticker

SayCoolNowSayWhip · 06/09/2011 15:38

What does knidly mean?

10 mins and 5 seconds since I last said 'Fuck off Cunty chops'

nickelbabe · 06/09/2011 16:56
