Frankly they can't afford them, nor know their value.

Not even about goat husbandry?

Message deleted by Mumsnet as poster is too poor to have an opinion.

Hullygully · 29/05/2012 08:41

Not about anything. Perhaps if they have bought their own goat with the sweat of their brow, not if they got it off the social.

They can have opinions about the stock in Iceland and such, surely? I mean if we don't allow them to think about anything at all they might start having bigger thoughts. I know it's unlikely but it could happen.

DaisyMaisyJessicaEmily · 29/05/2012 08:42

They could get tesco everyday value opinions if they stopped buying LCD goats Hmm

TheVermiciousKnid · 29/05/2012 08:43

I have a 20 pound note in my pocket. Am I allowed two opinions?

Hullygully · 29/05/2012 08:43

Well all right, perhaps just whether to get the pack of 60 fishfingers or the pack of 72 sausages made from innards and sawdust.

But that's it. They aren't even allowed to look at the prawn rings.

op are you bored?

SillyBeardyDaddyman · 29/05/2012 08:44

YABU

They're allowed opinions, but they're worth significantly less than mine. I think a ratio of 27:1 works for me.

TheVermiciousKnid · 29/05/2012 08:44

Hully, how do we know that you're not too poor to have an opinion on this?

Hullygully · 29/05/2012 08:46

No 2shoes. I think it's an important debating point. Are you?

That is a good point Vermicious. I can assure you that I posses wealth of staggering stonkingness - enough to opine on an entire country's fiscal strategy.

so ner

I like sausages made from innards and sawdust. I can't actually understand what else you would make a sausage from. Surely the whole point of a sausage is to use up the bits?

Housewifefromheaven · 29/05/2012 08:50

:o fanjo

LST · 29/05/2012 08:51

Even of its a joke it's a hit harsh tbh...

My sausages haven't even got innards...

LST · 29/05/2012 08:52

If.. My shitty public school didn't even teach me how to spell... Pft

Hullygully · 29/05/2012 08:52

A joke?

A joke?

Nothing funny about gobshite poor people who don't know what they're talking about.

I think opinions should be allowed about things like Big Briother and X factor and that, but giving the vote was when the rot set in. Bring back Feudalism, I say.

My parents are rich, but I am poor and am residing here as proud benefit scum. We even have a field for me to feed my ill gotten goats on.

Please advise how to upgrade goat for flat screen. Have no opinions of my own but feel obliged to regard Jeremy lyles options as gospel. He must be VERY rich.

Mosman · 29/05/2012 08:58

They can have opinions but lets face it if your poor nobody gives a fcuk

pleonasm · 29/05/2012 09:00

Poor thinkers shouldn't be allowed opinions. Or start freds about them.

Like the private/state wankery stuff.

Mrsjay · 29/05/2012 09:01

TBH idiots shouldnt be allowed an opinion on anything

MiseryBusiness · 29/05/2012 09:01

I agree.

Oh wait... I dont think I'm rich enough to have an opinion.

TantrumsAndBalloons · 29/05/2012 09:02

Before anyone dares to disagree with my opinion, I ask to see their last 3 months bank statements and pay slips.
