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

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?!

watching it now.
he really is a twat, isn't he?

nickelDorritt · 10/02/2012 10:45

how would they fill the show without MN?

nickelDorritt · 10/02/2012 10:46

peoplesprincess - apparently you're a home-wrecker.

nickelDorritt · 10/02/2012 10:50

so he agrees with the loon Piste, but he's still taking the piss

Sparklingbrook · 10/02/2012 11:07

Did anyone see the TV review? They slated one show for being 'steeped in unoriginality' Hahahahahahahaha. The irony.

NoOnesGoingToEatYourEyes · 10/02/2012 13:02

He said PeoplesPrincess was a home-wrecker?

nickelDorritt · 10/02/2012 13:03

basically,, yes.
he said: one woman left her husband because of it! no wonder there are so many divorces.
or something like that.

It was discussed at the start of today's show though. My posts on this thread today were me watching today's show. Smile

nickelDorritt · 10/02/2012 16:57

ooh.

Sparklingbrook · 10/02/2012 17:01

Try and find it on 5 player nickel. people have sent in mantelpiece pictures. Grin

JKSLtd · 10/02/2012 17:06

Have come too late to this thread I think, missed out MN mentions on shows and all sorts, bugger.

But definitely clock in the middle, tis a law

RatherBeOnThePiste · 10/02/2012 17:07

A harridan, an OCD loon and a prat too? It doesn't get much better than this Grin

I wish I'd thought, I would have sent in a lovely picture of my mantelpiece with the clock centred so beautifully... an opportunity missed. Sad times.

COF I am leaving with you.

Word Origin & History

harridan
1700, "one that is half Whore, half Bawd" ["Dictionary of the Canting Crew"]; "a decayed strumpet" [Johnson], from Fr. haridelle "a poore tit, or leane ill-favored jade," [Cotgrave, 1611], in Fr. from 16c., of unknown origin.

I'll hold my hands up and say this is quite a good description of me - especially the decayed strumpet bit Grin

RatherBeOnThePiste · 10/02/2012 18:32

TwoStepsBack - that is brilliant!

Well I am certainly a poore tit. No question.

NoOnesGoingToEatYourEyes · 10/02/2012 18:37

I know what COF means.

Piste has given up on the mantlepiece and put the clock on the floor. Wink

Not really, she has the delusion that calendars belong on the fridge.

I think I may be the leane ill-favoured jade.

And if Matthew is still reading, I don't think there have been hundreds of foul-mouthed harridan's on this thread, just a few dedicated ones with a lot to say Grin

And it's ok to have a clock off centre. Mine is left of centre.
Now right of centre is another story.
