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?!

Arse.. Did I come off looking like a loon?!

they haven't missed the point - this is a very serious issue for Piste - she has been losing sleep over it.

(i screamed at the TV when they mentioned it in the introduction this morning!
I am very sad - odd, because I never watch MW and only did because you lot were talking about him yesterday, and lo and behold, there you were in all your madness (or at least, your thread was))

Smashing

I'm famous

I shall be signing autographs later

Well I have a slight reprieve - its not on replay or the website yet!

It matters.
Clock in the middle.
Nothing loon like about it!!

Well I want to see it!!!!!

So anyone can avoid watching the whole damned programme, it's the last section.

Was sad MW didn't use the words shrubbery or jaunty - he missed a trick there.....

But thank you Sparkling I take the

And now I shall just wait in the Waitrose cafe for my PM from JustineMumsnet booting me off for bringing the MN gang into disrepute....

Did you shop in Waitrose before you got famous Piste?

Watching it on sky+ now, will sit back and pour myself a glass of wine and enjoy.

(Love you Matthew)

Did Matthew mention the placing of John Sergeant on the mantlepiece at all?

The unfunny comedienne on the left is even less funny than I thought she was originally.

For the record my mantle piece is a mess, I have a few carefully placed pictures and vases, but then dh and kids just dump other things on there too like letters from school and there is still a homemade christmas card from dd1 on there. In fact I'm off now to go and sort it out.

No shrubberies, no jaunty and sadly no John Sergeants

Sparkling... I thought shopping at Waitrose was a requirement of our MN membership. No?

Still goes in the middle. In the bloody MIDDLE

And the cheek of the smarmy little toad man - foul-mouthed harridans? Fucking hell!! Who's he calling foul-mouthed harridans? The bastard.

Oh yes Piste I remember now. Yours has a coffee shop?

Costas

YADNBU!

op is clearly my insane dh

MW mentioned it again at the start of his show. People had sent photos of their mantelpieces that he showed. Then he told them all to 'get a life'.( Yes, and stop watching The Wright Stuff while they are about it)

lemmein do you keep a tin of spam on your mantlepiece?

Or have you just posted in the wrong place?

I thought it was going to be a 10 minute solution to sorting your mantelpiece.

it says "Part 7: Keeping The Mantel Peace
Do you fret about the symmetry of the ornaments on your mantelpiece? Those foul-mouthed harridans that frequent mumsnet do. Hundreds have commented on the story of a woman who wants to know if her clock has to go in the middle of the mantelpiece or can she place it at one end. " on the channel 5 player thing.

foul-mouthed harridans

how very dare he!
