To think that if you have a clock on the mantlepiece it needs to go in the middle?

[RatherBeOnThePiste]

Or am I being anal? My children say so. I don't think I am, but I need support from the MN jury. How could the clock go on one end? That would be wrong.

Right now it goes plant, photo frame, photo frame, CLOCK, photo frame, body sort of sculpture thing, flowers.

But clock in the middle. Yes?!

Please let us get something straight, once and for all...
It goes Bloody Knives, Bloody Forks and Bloody Spoons

Bloody knives?

What kind of a house do you live in?

The 'loser' has bloody knives, Matthew

Knives, forks and spoons around the clock wouldn't be symmetrical enough surely.

How does it feel to be famous for being anal, Pistey?

Definitely in the middle. I have major symmetry issues and sometimes cannot sleep if I know something might be out of line. Seriously.

Why in the name of all that is holy would anyone put a clock anywhere else BUT the middle of their mantlepiece? That would be mental.

Who is Matthew Wright?
If he is linking to this on FB, it sounds like he is the one with too much time on his hands..

Mine is on the end.

Tall candle, short candle clock (it's small), vase.

He has his own TV show Northern, it's a bit like Jeremy Kyle only with famous people and newspapers. He dislikes Mumsnet and says so fairly often. He looks like a bit like this and I think he hates Mumsnet because he secretly fancies us like a boy in the playground who is too scared to let his mates know he likes girls, eeeurrrghhh, but will then be gutted when his mates ask us out.

shit - it's not Jeremy Kyle is it? It's the other one!

Matthew Wright.

Could he fit on the mantlepiece?

Placement of candlesticks, the next challenge.

Thanks NoOne. How unfortunate to look like Pob. I feel only pity

Jeremy, Matthew...

never seen in the same room.

Spooky.

Do you remember when Matthew reported on this thread: www.mumsnet.com/Talk/am_i_being_unreasonable/953389-To-sew-a-little-willy-on-the-doll-I-39/AllOnOnePage

Perhaps one at each end of the mantel. For symmetry rather than aesthetics.

Pob is actually the better looking, nicer twin Northern.

I thought Pob was the weird thing that looks like Gove?

No?

separated at birth, here

Candlesticks then......
Are we talking Christmas or general?

Perhaps they are triplets then

Michael Gove, Pob and Matthew Wright.

But who would go in the middle?

NoonesGoingToEatYouEyes - brilliant! But obviously central

I will have the final say...

No jaunty
No Twiggy shit
No asymmetrical nonsense
No Michael Goves
No hair bobbles
No used tissues
No meeting under the clock at Trinity's
No flying fuckeroos
No fifths or thirds
No isosceles triangles
and certainly no Matthew Wrights

Clock in the middle

It has and always will go knives, forks and spoons.

Thank you, we all agree then IANBU??!!!!!!
