AIBU to think MN not what I thought it would be

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?

I think that's the least of Sting's problems.

Oh usual twas a cunning disguise! Although bollocks are best, they show our MN level Grin

ImperialStateKnickers · 12/11/2012 22:32

Lesbeadiva The blank posts are on the other thread.

PickledFanjoCat · 12/11/2012 22:33

OK tell us what you want to talk about OP and we will do it.

How you can say its boring though is beyond me. Why just on this one thread we have a poster with side bollocks and one that lives in a vagina.

How marvellous is that? Its like a Genitals Circus or summat.

Well aware thanks imperial Smile

I'm not a bully, I'm lovely. I've been on MN for the best part of a decade, and the only person I'm ever mean to is John Hemming.

I do shout at my kids, though.

Don't let the door hit your arse on the way out then, OP...

ImperialStateKnickers · 12/11/2012 22:35

xposts every time - I'm not a slow typist but honest this one's moving too quick for me to keep up! I wonder if OP will dare return...

Tweasels · 12/11/2012 22:36

I think it's a moldie.

Coming for revenge

Meh3

WorraLiberty · 12/11/2012 22:36

It's a slow night Les Grin

StrawberriesTasteLikeLipsDo · 12/11/2012 22:36

worra I gotta ask, who do you get broadband from? I need a good signal and if you are posting from a fanjo yours has gotta be tip top! Grin

TulisaLover · 12/11/2012 22:36

Imperial - I can guarantee the OP will do one of two things. Either:

  1. Never return.
  2. Come back and dig an even bigger hole for him/herself.
Whatnowffs · 12/11/2012 22:38

Hang on, hang on, hang on - just because the OP said that "you are not middle class, like wot i thought you would be" everyone has taken the huff! She could of course have meant, "well, i was a bit dubious about joining MN, it has a reputation of being a bit middle class and frankly, i was a bit scared" "I have joined and now realise that you are all just, well, like me, normal. You sometimes post about utter twaddle, just for the sake of a chin-wag, its not so scary after all"

Just saying like :)

PickledFanjoCat · 12/11/2012 22:39

Whatnow that is a very very generous way of reading the post. Come on, you are arse licking Santa aren't you?
