[Chandon]

...in any thread. ever?

vote here.

DO they? i never knew

but chandon you had never heard the epxression "jesus wept" till last night, so I am not sure you are one to command respect wrt to common parlance

I'm having a precious moment right now.

Honey, are you MNing while on the loo? Because that's terribly common you know.

tenapenny, that's right! I have only been in the UK for 3 years

I am, obviously, still learning.

In fact, I am mainly on MN to improve my English and knowledge of common parlance.

Nope. I have given the children sandwiches in front of the telly and am hiding in the kitchen eating their Mars Bars. Moments don't get much more precious.

Precious Moments

or something

I thought 'Precious moments' were when you've finally got the buggers off to sleep in the double buggy by walking and walking and walking. Then you can have a quick drool in the jewellers window at the 'push present' you hinted so hard at and never got....till one of them wakes up.

My precious....

I hate the use of the sad face.

"I'm sad, sad, sad. I'm so terribly sad that I must punctuate every sentence of my post with a sad face. Did I remind you that I'm very sad about this?"

I have to click straight off of a thread if the OP is using lots of sad faces.

I know that makes me a cowbag but I can't help it.

Cheesy Moments are nice. They are by the same people who make Bacon Fries and are available in all good public houses.

Any reference to itchy teeth

"They're toxic. Cut them out." Ban.

"Hahaha that made me spit coffee all over my laptop"

No, it didn't.

"I laughed so hard a bit of wee came out."

More likely this being a parenting forum but even so, shhhhh.

I hate seeing people put kisses after their posts...it really winds me up xx

"tethersend, you're wrong"

That wants banning.

Cheesy Moments taste like sawdust and stick to the roof of your mouth.

Yuk

I think you'll find that cheesy moments are the second best bar snack after a poughmans' lunch in a plastic packet!
Bombay mix is third.

You can't beat a good old fashioned salted peanut.

When I were a lass, a local hostelry used to sell a plastic packet containing 2 Ritz crackers, a dairylea cheese triangle and a silverskin onion. Bliss.

Booby moments

O.k., I will not ban people.

Instead I will lobby for MN HQ to change any "precious moments" into a random selection of

" booby moments" or

" cheese moments"

or a sad face.

YANBU. Can we ban 'martyr mummy' too? and Breastfeeding Nazi/Mafia?

I think MNHQ should leave "Precious moments" in, but with a note that says please feel free to ignore anyone who uses this phrase, they are clearly a soppy know-it-all with no idea of what the real world is like

pirate WHERE are you? I haven't seen cheesy moments since the late 80s and never thought they still made them! Bacon Fries here come with Scampi Fries on the other half of the card/multipack and while scampi fries are nice, they aren't cheesy moments.

oh and please ban anyone who calls a group of posters a "gang" or a "brigade". And let me punch em as well
