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

FunnysInLaJardin · 04/10/2012 22:27

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?

::head tilt::

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
