..to expect AIBU to be contentious, and challenging and sometimes fun??

[loverofwine]

I hold my hands up - I'm a lurker. I love reading through other threads, rarely posting.

But i AM a busymotheroffourboys and want to use the few hours I have getting the best of mumsnet. AIBU used to be good. Now it's mostly attention seekers talking about non stuff.

Say I am BU. Go on. raises fists and does pathetic punchy things in air

Oh - and OP? Yeah - you there.

YABU

HTH

On a serious note I am realising that at this time of night/week 15 yrs ago I'd be doing my thing at Pop Tarts in my plastic dress. And now I am sat in front of my PC, listening to Absolute 80's and flirting with an old bird.

Now rocks

By the way for those of you lurking on the edges of the dancefloor it is OK. You can dance too.

After months of micro posting I feel reborn by having my own little thread.

YAY

I would love to join in with the middle aged frivolity thread but I am a) becoming so long sighted I can't actually read the text unless I hold my laptop out a metre away and b) I am also reading through one eye as I've had three glasses of because I am krazeeeee like that, and am absolutely knackered.

Knock yourselves out and rock on!

BTW I did have a serious point. Albeit using the medium of humour to get it across.

Where do we get to chat about really contentious stuff these days? (send me to that board and I am it's disciple) because AIBU ain't doing it for me.
