Oh yes, usual. Maybe that's me, too.

TheVermiciousKnid · 04/10/2012 22:25

MaryZed - regarding reading your name correctly, I have to admit I always read it as Maryzzzzz, sorry! Grin I shall now read your 'new' name as Mary's Ed. So, you are really Ed, Mary's Ed to be correct, not Mary? Grin Good night, Ed! Grin

Oh feck off Kniddy

(by the way, is your K silent? I never know, but pronounce you K-nid in my head)

TheVermiciousKnid · 04/10/2012 22:39

It is indeed pronounced K-nid. Grin I'm very proud of that K, don't silence it!

SuperB0F · 04/10/2012 22:40

Sorry, MissAnnersley, I didn't mean to be unkind. I'm feeling a bit flat myself, and that might be making me sound abrupt.

WorraLiberty · 04/10/2012 22:42

Right so who are Tinkywinky, Dipsy and Lala?

MaryZed · 04/10/2012 22:44

Well, on a Friday night I suspect many of us are a combination of all three - thus we are Tipsy and Lala at the same time Grin

MissAnnersley · 04/10/2012 22:45

Oh no, I didn't take offence. I forgot to add a Grin.

Sorry B0F

TheVermiciousKnid · 04/10/2012 22:45

I had the same thought, Worra. I was very disappointed not really when I realised that the Po referred to on these threads isn't a teletubby. :(

MaryZed · 04/10/2012 22:46

tbh, I think we can all be po about things we mind about. I suppose I just get a bit baffled that some people seem to mind about such very odd things - and indeed some people seem to mind about everything Confused.

WorraLiberty · 04/10/2012 22:47

Hmm the Alky tubbies

Sums me up anyway Grin

FrankWippery · 04/10/2012 22:47

I'm Lala at the moment as I am rather Lala thanks to the amazing painkillers I am popping.

Next week I'd like to be Dipsy. Ta.

MissAnnersley · 04/10/2012 22:47

Also, I've been reliably informed that my writing style can be 'grim and a bit humourless'.

TheLightPassenger · 04/10/2012 23:01

darn you Maryz - I was about to get all huffy and bosom hoicky about the PO stuff- then I agreed with just about every word of your explanatory post. Gah.

MaryZed · 05/10/2012 09:08

That's 'cos I'm always reasonable.

just too much of a wimp to start any aibu threads

Tee2072 · 05/10/2012 09:14

Hey, guess what? Y'all were talking about me!!

You know what? I wasn't bullied. I hid the thread because I hide most threads after awhile because I get bored reading the same thing over and over again.

And then I came back when a friend said it got fun. And it had.

I wasn't hurt. I didn't leave MN (over that?!?!) and never would.

I was horribly bullied at school. I know from bullying. I've never seen anyone bullied on MN. One disagreement does not bullying make.

Is everyone okay?

NolaFfing · 05/10/2012 09:15

Honestly though, I think the accusations of PO have gone a bit mad.

The PO used to rock up on threads and say stuff like "You're all racist" (I'm thinking in particular of a beesimo thread called "Day Orphanages" when the topic turned away from the premise that WOHM who used nurseries were cunts, and towards a chat about South London and random song lyrics), they were indeed the PO.

I don't think people disagreeing with one another, or saying that they think things are shit (I did it that myself on a thread recently where I thought that larking about was really inappropriate) are necessarily "The Po".

MaryZed · 05/10/2012 09:15

Grin at Tee.

Talking behind people's back's is bullying you know. You should be huffing and puffing and reporting.

Pagwatch · 05/10/2012 09:16

Excellent.
Very pleased.
I knew I was not being horrible to you, that mst people on the thread were not, and I was a bit upset that it kept being suggested that I was.

Cheers Tee

Tee2072 · 05/10/2012 09:20

Pag, I luff you. You made me famous!!

::head tilt::

RaisinDEtre · 05/10/2012 09:20

MissAnnersley that's a bit off, you poor thing

Grim and Humourless would be fab pet names though Grin

MaryZed · 05/10/2012 09:22

Or a mumsnet name: GrimAndHumourless

RaisinDEtre · 05/10/2012 09:23

hah yes

Off to NC if no one has snaffled in the meantime
