to have just realised goat connection?

[Incaminka]

Iam being inordinately slow and have only just realised gruff/troll connection. What else am I missing?

Oh! I never got that either Thanks for the clarification

I don't understand about the biscuit, is it to keep someone quiet while it is in their mouth?

No, that's not why you get a goat. I'll find you a link.......

i think of it along the lines of ''that takes the biscuit''

the goat was about presents of oxfam goats if i recall?

Biscuit is like no comment but do calm down dear.

I have no idea what the goat is all about either

It's got nothing to do with trolls,its from a thread where the Op said benefit claimants get my goat

Although I did miss the original thread and only saw the aftermath

Oh, so goats are only relevant to benefit hating trolls, and ordinary trolls get biscuits?

no, prime ministers get biscuits

I love how people lump all benefit claiments together,when what they really mean is ''this person,or family really annoy me cause they have x,y,z and claim benefits,and I work and don't have as much money,so they should cut their benefits so they have to buy everything cheap just to survive,and have to make their own clothes'' but I suppose its a very long thread title.

I found a thread - still trying to work out how to link it........ It's to do with the poor in Africa getting Oxfam goats. And what usualsuspect said, and in the way that only MN can, it all got mixed up......

No, families on benefits get goats, and anyone can be given a biscuit. Trolls should get reported.

:) trip-trap! It is interesting to see where MN traditions come from, though.

I still don't understand pom bears or fruit shoots though.

Pom bears is from a not very funny thread about a dinner party, its in classics I think

pom bears are for posh dinner parties, fruit shoots are for never , just never

Oh must have a look in there.

Can anyone tell me how to copy and paste on an Apple? I've printed the link a few times.......

I'm sure I've seen goats on non-benefits threads? I assumed it was a not very subtle way of calling troll as well.

The thread is funny.

Mumsnet asked PM Gordon Brown what his favourite biscuit is. He couldn't think of it. Hence, biscuit = no answer to that. (Gordon did come back especially to tell us his favourite biscuit!)
