I'll have a custart cream scrambled. Is it too early for a Wine??

ScrambledSmegs · 05/10/2012 13:28

Blimey. I'm actually number 181049.

Jus, it's never too early for Wine. Except when you're 7 months pregnant and grumpy with it

I think we should have to have our registration number as part of our user name. That would sort the wheat from the chaff Grin.

ScrambledSmegs · 05/10/2012 13:38

Am I chaff?

trice · 05/10/2012 13:38

Or the mutton from the lambs.

ClippedPhoenix · 05/10/2012 13:39

amillionyears. I do get what you are saying hopes I'm rather mad as it excuses plenty Grin

At the end of the day like kind of gravitates towards like.

Hence i have seen people with the same humour, same attitude to life etc. become rather pally and back each other up on here. Especially regular users.

I personally don't enter into much banter on here, butt in when I want and get out. Therefore I haven't really made any "cyber" friends here. It's the way I like it but others are far more friendly than me do.

I'm 100307 and joined 5 years ago, presumably 100,306 people had already joined before me, I wonder what number the newest member is?

TheVermiciousKnid · 05/10/2012 13:43

I am number 348647. I suspect I'm too new to be a larker. :(

Jusfloatingby · 05/10/2012 13:43

If you think some of the larks are twats can you still be a lark? [worried]

ScrambledSmegs · 05/10/2012 13:48

I don't think labelling yourself is the way to go, actually. Just be who you are. 'Larkers' don't always lark, just as some of the people that I've mentally labelled 'po' have shown their lighter side too.

ScrambledSmegs · 05/10/2012 13:49

Can't we all just get along?

I am Number 285132.
I've been here longer than I thought.
Knid, I thought you'd been here a lot longer than me but in fact

You're 63515 behind me.
Who'd have thought it.
You newbie, you.

tjah04 · 05/10/2012 13:53

Well I started that last thread and I felt totally excluded. The reason being is actually I quite like......

Magnolia Grin

Jusfloatingby · 05/10/2012 13:53

Don't be a spoilsport Scrambled. Get Along Shock Shock ???????

Pagwatch · 05/10/2012 13:55

Magnolia?

Mintyy,I think that is where a lot of the confusion lies.
There are some of the larkers who often and regularly mention about those things.
No,Pagwatch doesnt,no MaryZed doesnt,no you appear not to,but yes to lots of the others.

Who does/doesn't do what?! I really don't know what you're saying here! What things?

There are no orchestrated pile ons. Nobody messages anyone else - well, I'm speaking for myself here - to come and join a thread.

I think also it's fair to point out that whilst some may lark about on certain threads, we may also be pretty po-faced on other. Like Maryz I'm very po-faced on any drugs 'n teens threads.

I happen to 'know' lots of other MNetters because I've been here for 6 years now. I've met many of them at various meet ups. But if I needed to, I would also disagree with them on a post.

Mintyy · 05/10/2012 13:56

I think Rhubarb is number 35 or something crazy like that.

I am in the 40,000s and joined in 2006.

greenhill · 05/10/2012 13:58

tjah04 I felt excluded as my house is magnolia too, with cream sofas and curtains, or they would be if the DC kept their grubby hands off everything and never touched anything ever again...

Tee2072 · 05/10/2012 14:01

I have no idea what this thread is about any more.

I am number 140097.

I am not a Larker, or a PO, or a PRIM (was that it? Can't be arsed to look) or Royalty or anything but Tee2072.

And if you ask me what the 2072 means...I'll have to kill you...even for just asking...

Jusfloatingby · 05/10/2012 14:02

Actually, I don't think I want to join the 'larkers'. They sound like they might try to get me to join in a game of hockey or something. [mind made up]

Hullygully · 05/10/2012 14:03

Can I just clear a few things up?

  1. THERE IS NO PMING TO JOIN IN THREADS
  1. PO DOES NOT MEAN SERIOUS, WE ARE ALL SERIOUS WHEN WARRANTED, IT MEANS OBJECTING TO OTHER PEOPLE MUCKING ABOUT AND CALLING THEM QUICHEY ETC FOR DOING SO AND FOR BEING PROFESSIONALLY OFFENDED.

All right?
