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.

The Dallas one had mutated out of a thread that was deleted by MNHQ (quelle surprise), though I can't remember why.

It was a great thread. It lead to me ordering Dallas on lovefilm. DP was not impressed.

actually, for wolefs I have no idea how that even started. I was away from MN for a couple of weeks, asked people to tell me about any frakkasses and they didn't, came back and found out there'd been something about wolf fleeces. I remain oblivious

Thank you for that Pinot, can you buy them on amazon? Excuse me if I don't shag you in the ear out of gratitude but I'm busy looking up frottage in the dictionary. What an education this is, perhaps MN should apply to become a free school.

Wha?

ShirleyKnotFrotGrot · 08/09/2011 11:32

That was buppy with the aidsy eye pencil.

Buying eye make up off ebay! The dirty girl.

Pinot · 08/09/2011 11:32

On the wolef threads we use language such as ergo, herinafter and hitherto.

Everyday is a school day on MN Wink

TwoPlusTwoEqualsFive · 08/09/2011 11:32

Back from dictionary. So frottage is what basically we used to do on history trips with those brass plates of medieval knights, that kind of thing? Always loved history.

Pinot · 08/09/2011 11:33

LeQ you have your own arsekissing thread right now! heh heh

I need to know if she has good eye Aids or bad eye Aids. If it's bad Aids we have to shun her, obviously.

I think I need someone to link to a picture of a "manky fleece thing fat birds wear" to make sure I never accidently purchase one.

SDTGisAnEvilGenius · 08/09/2011 11:35

Ahem.

A group of people that excludes others, has in-jokes etc, is a clique.

A savoury flan, usually with a savoury egg custard, often with cheese, bacon, veggies etc - is a quiche.

As you were.

ChickensHaveNoEyebrows · 08/09/2011 11:35

I live in the wolf fleece capital of England. Fact.

And I remember the eye AIDS ebay eyeliner pencil.

Pinot · 08/09/2011 11:36

Havent seen you in ages!

TheSupremeMugwump · 08/09/2011 11:36
Grin

Have we discovered how to fix glue ear?

SayCoolNowSayWhip · 08/09/2011 11:37

There's a good eye Aids??!

Quiche is just another typo in-joke.
