To hate the cliquey vomit-inducing threads on MN?

[HamsterzBollox]

Because they put me right off the whole of MN .

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

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

It is heart breaking, and most of ours have been rescues, so elderly when we got them :(

Gonna be gutted when our girls go, we've had them since they were 6 weeks old (and titchy tiny, with ears too big for their heads)

my girls fought but not to the death, vet said girls are easier to live with than boys i remind dp of this frequently missing out the rat part completely

Rats yuk g.piggys yay

We have two in a cage in the kitchen they are called pigley and hav. Now they are cute and furry

Our girls are definitely easier (they don't fight like boys) however they are much sneakier and ours used to be regular little houdinis. (They ATE one of their cages!!)

Sorry. Did I break you?

I bloody wish my bunnies (of spunk foot fame) wouldn't live past their predicted age. Bastard rabbits.

Shit i thought she would never find me on here

Sorry but I can't get past page 1. Too busy PMSL at wolefs in Corsas.

For the rat lovers, [[http://kalokimallow.wordpress.com/2011/02/09/rattus-rattus/ almost all our ratties.We've since lost Claire and gained two rather overweight boys called Toby and Rasputin.

Sorry but i got to the rat with red eyes and had to close the window - its just not right.

guinea pigs are great my sil has 2 called archie and rory i bloody love them i do but ratties and hamsters were my first luffs

my killing spree is the reason we have no pets now. i am dangerous for all domestic pets not in a bad way im just cursed somehow :(

fecking hell empjs they ate out? i had a hamster who squeezed out every night for a wander but never ate out

spunk foot bunnys are bad sjue they may refrain in future if you pee on them

Get back here cheaptrick. You only had pseudo-zombiism. Or your limbs would be rotting off by now.

Fuck off Le Queen.

now.

Empjusa - there are loads of rats in my garage you are welcome to rescue them all if you want

You just keep on giving LQ.

So that's all OK, honour is restored. Someone has finally been bullied.

Actually, I feel guilty. The reason I didn't get them was that they were the eggshell gloss version of Downpipe and Railings and I have no use for that.
I needed white for ceilings.

Interesting fact - rats with red/pink eyes are almost blind, and have to do a weird weaving head movement to let them work out where things are.

sjuper Yep, they chewed a huge great chunk through the base. So we moved them into a smaller cage while we went out to get materials to fix their original cage, only to discover they'd escaped that one too. And were sat watching us from inside the first cage! I'm sure they were laughing at us.

I had lots of rabbits

they all came to Bad Ends. some in the traffic, some with mr foxy
