Because they put me right off the whole of MN Sad.

Maybe it's because I don't generally use MN for 'chatting'; more for getting advice and opinions on parenting issues, health issues, etc (have namechanged btw as am a longstanding and cowardly MNer). But I do click on 'most active' when I come on here to see what's going on, and the clique arse-kissing and 'in' jokes between some MNers make me cringe and really put me off the site. It's like the school playground mum cliques but worse - because at least there the people really do know each other.

And yes I know threads about a thread are against MN rules blah blah but I wanted to moan about and am happy to be slated for doing so - so there Grin

I just think some MNers should get over themselves and go off and start a new 'love-in' site somewhere else. The End.

How do you get suspenders on a duck? They don't have a waist?

I can do a very good duck noise if that helps.

You are most welcome CatainNancy.

Hullygully · 08/09/2011 13:55

they just don't know how to have fun, gals (for Rhubs)

Feeling sick, yet OP?

You could start an anticlique clique of your own, if you all name changed every day, you'd not get to know each other, and then in jokes would not distract from the Important Business of Swapping Opinions on Health and Parenting Issue.

I love this thread, it's made me laugh, even though I'm feeling very shit due to a ruptured twisted ovarian cyst.

Can anyone recommend a good brand of wet wipes?

TheRhubarb · 08/09/2011 13:58

The OP doesn't want ducks here? She's asked them to leave? As in "get back to your own country you fucking ducks!"?

Well that does it, I'm off to start a fuckduck forum. Who's with me?

Why yes Hully. We use Lidl 'toujours' wipes. They are unperfumed but effective and very gentle on the skin. The price is very competitive and they are also very useful for make up removal. There one down side is the sticky tab to reseal them but then that is a fault on many a packet in my experience.

Hullygully · 08/09/2011 14:01

Thank you bitchtwat, it's that sort of helpful tip that makes MN such a great and helpful site!!!!!!

TheRhubarb · 08/09/2011 14:02

You know when you do a poo and it clings to your duckhole? Do you use Aldi wipes for that?

Which reminds me ........ bumsex

reelingintheyears · 08/09/2011 14:03

Rhubarbo..Aldi wipes are shit wipes.

bitchtwat · 08/09/2011 14:03

No problem Hully. As my name suggests, I am only here for helping others and creating a harmonious atmosphere.

Hassled · 08/09/2011 14:04

I don't know what the fuck anyone is talking about anymore. It's bewildering. I can't even be judgmental anymore because I don't pissing understand.

I tried being in a clique once. It was exhausting. You have to remember things and pretend to be interested - I get enough of that in RL.

TheSupremeMugwump · 08/09/2011 14:05

Just spit on a tissue and wipe.

Just like my dear old ma used to.

reelingintheyears · 08/09/2011 14:05

Anyway bitchtwat...

Back to duck fucking...

Do you indulge?

TuftyFinch · 08/09/2011 14:05

I admit I havn't read all 20 pages but I think I get the gist.

Wet wipes: would it be ok to dampen a tea towel to wipe your bum? This is what I do, seems ok. Wash on 60 after, bob's a good un.

A duck walks into a pub and orders a pint of lager.
Bar man says "That's £2.70 please"
Duck: "Put it on my bill"

Tip: some seagulls eat rats. Birds and stones.
