to think that not every man on mumsnet must be "dodgy"

A thread on mums net to settle an argument about mumsnet...
DH thinks that if a man is on mumsnet then he must have an ulterior motive, to chat up 'mums' - he wants me to add that he thinks they must be devious. I think, perhaps naively that there are probably some genuine male parents, aka dads, wishing to discuss parenting issues. DH believes men should be on dadsnet.
Genuinely looking for opinions.

Sarah, I've booked you into the firestation next Friday but they said you have to turn up in a pirate costume.

BelleDameSansMerci · 21/11/2011 14:53

Hmmm... I'm from Suffolk but now live in Yorkshire (not 'Arrogate, sadly). I don't know whose side to be on .

MrGin · 21/11/2011 14:55

I was born on the banks of the Tyne. Thankfully my parents saw sense and moved to Surrey before I learned to speak.

Wayhey Gin.

Should I wear my thigh high FM pirate boots too? Grin

Opinion seeker. Well men and women seem less than perfect. We are all human so learn to live with it. Or read womans own

cheeptrick · 21/11/2011 15:18

Anyone else think Gin and Sarah should just get it on?

MrGin · 21/11/2011 15:37

:o @ everyone.

AnyFucker · 21/11/2011 15:47

yes cheep it has been said

they are stubborn as the proverbial mules though...

MrG...you were actually born on the banks of the river ?

wasn't it a bit muddy ?

SarahStratton · 21/11/2011 15:49

Ho yes, that's not a tan he's got...

Get0rf · 21/11/2011 15:52

I think Sarah and Gin should get it on.

There can then be the first MN wedding and I can get a hat like Cilla.

cheeptrick · 21/11/2011 15:56

We could help plan the wedding and guess list and hen night - it would be so cool Grin

MrGin · 21/11/2011 15:56

the clinic was on the shore. it's a pub now :o

Psammead · 21/11/2011 16:01

Does it have a little blue plaque halfway up the wall, subtly announcing that it was the birthplace of Someone Significant? Grin

MrGin · 21/11/2011 16:04

no but I think there's an upside crucifix

SarahStratton · 21/11/2011 16:05

It is tempting to invent a Grande Gin/Sarah Passion, purely to shut you lot up.

Psammead · 21/11/2011 16:05

I bet. Portal to the the underworld otherwise known as Newcastle.

  • Sarah, I can teach you how to pose provocatively on the bed for him Grin

SarahStratton · 21/11/2011 16:07

I have no need of that, thanks Ry. My posing has never let me down yet. Grin

AnyFucker · 21/11/2011 16:11

ry Grin

I don't recommend a candlewick bedspread though...

I have visions of MummyGin taking her washing down to the Tyne, dropping the sprog and calmly scrubbing her panty hose afterwards...

rycooler · 21/11/2011 16:12

I shouldn't say things like that around AF - she'll get all feminist on me - where is she anyway?

SarahStratton · 21/11/2011 16:13

She's behiiiiind you! Grin
