AIBU to think MN not what I thought it would be

sidandlinus · 12/11/2012 22:16

After years of hearing about how influential and "middle class" MN is. I am I being unreasonable to think that I have found it (over past few months - so can't judge beyond this) a bit "meh2! A lot of the postings appear to be attention-seeking, middle-of-the-road and basically dull. Am I missing something?

So because ive said you are being slightly offensive by finding MN boring and choosing to start a thread about it, i am a cyber bully? Well shag me sideways with a stick, how have I not noticed. Clearly im not middle classed enough. Back t'ot mines with me.

What is it you want? Do you want tales of whether to buy that 3 bedroomed holiday home, whether to put twigs in vases or not? Whether or not toast should be done only on one side?

Tulisalover- YES, NO, GOD NO BOTH SIDES.

ImperialStateKnickers · 12/11/2012 22:28

Did you want it to be middle class and influential then, and are disappointed?

TulisaLover · 12/11/2012 22:29

Genuinely interested in a concrete example of what the problems you thought you would find are - that would help us understand immeasurably.

StrawberriesTasteLikeLipsDo · 12/11/2012 22:29

Ohh usual your bollocks are back Grin

PickledFanjoCat · 12/11/2012 22:29

Not sure what you mean, are there too many common people on here?

Shall we have them removed?

Tweasels · 12/11/2012 22:29

Oh no, not me. I am lovely to everyone in "cyber world" but I'm a bastard in the school yard.

I am middle-class and influential, in my spare time...

WorraLiberty · 12/11/2012 22:30

Is "meh2" some sort of code?

OwedToAutumn · 12/11/2012 22:30

It's all right, OP. You don't have to like MN. Lots of people don't. Liz Jones, Samantha Brick, Matthew Wright.......

StrawberriesTasteLikeLipsDo · 12/11/2012 22:30

Ohhh ive just clicked...
Are you
A. A daily fail reporter unhappy with the slimness of article fodder pickings?

TulisaLover · 12/11/2012 22:30

Yes, I've never quite understood why Sting likes it done only on one side. Superb lyric though.

Well, MrsWembly, I am middle class and influential for a living!

Lesbeadiva · 12/11/2012 22:31

That was my intentional no comment...now obsolete due to this comment!

AlbertoFrog · 12/11/2012 22:31

Apart from the occasional wander I actually haven't strayed far from AIBU either as don't have much time on my hands but if I do need advice or support I know that MNetters will be there to provide it.

For entertainment value though AIBU is where it's at Grin

MrsWembley · 12/11/2012 22:31

I am also too tired for this.

See you all in the middle of the night when the DCs wake me up by coughing/crying/climbing into bed with us.
