to be a smidgen startled that a DF had never heard of MN?

[ChaosTrulyReigns]

Do tell if I'm being a tad PFF, but I was totally baffled that a friend of mine had never heard of the country's most popular meeting place for paretns.

Yes, I can understand not actually visiting the forum, yep, I can see that. But it's in the news loads isn't it?

She totally did a wtaj face when I said the word.

for the poor old doily.

Feel sorry for her for being so out of touch.

But that's the kicker - she's up with the news, reads nonMaildecent papers, and keeps up to date with stuff.

And is extremely witty and intelligent.

She just has a gapnig hole in her life.

How DOES she cope???

It means you can start AIBU threads about her and she'll never know

So how did you describe it to her? I always struggle to explain what MNet is to poeple who haven't heard the Good News without sound like some kind of weirdy evangelist...

Maybe she does know...

Maybe she stalks you and doesn't want you to know...

Or maybe I'm overthinking things... again... with too many ...'s

Oh yes, she's truly beuatiful as well and an allround decent egg.

Just on case, eh, Carpe.

not surprising. not many people care enough about an internet forum for it to register.

A 'smidgen startled'? I thought we could only be 'furious' or '' at things.

She's lying. It's a cover so that she doesn't out herself.

AnnaF. I wasntcwilling to leave myself wide open to the anti-hyperbolic by being all frothing and SIOBy.

Tbh I only found out about mumsnet a year ago when DP became obsessed with his reptile forum he'd found, he suggested to me to sign up for a cat forum cos that's what I liked , and I done a search for something a bit more exciting and found this but I don't personally know anyone else who had heard of it and my friends give me a funny look when I mention it.

I bet she is really one of the prolific posters who is very outspoken like Hullygully and she just doesn't want you to realise.

Actually I hadn't heard of this until last year either.

My goodness she must have so much spare time

What does she DO all day?? The poor, poor woman
