For me first off I would say Hully, Pagwatch, Hecate, LaQ, Buppy, Usual and LOADS of others.

They will all decry the title, so I suppose what I mean is who are the regular regulars who you see about all the time?

Is it a bit like Animal Farm where we are all equal, but some are more equal than others?Grin

HoneyDragon · 22/01/2013 22:27

I fixed it by getting other Mnetters to beseech the universe to let the electrical healing man find an oven door that would fit in his collection and he did.

I broke it because I decided to clean it against Hullys better judgement. The smart arsed bugger was right.

DreamySleepyNightySnoozySnooze · 22/01/2013 22:29

I bet you've all heard of me?

AllYoursBabooshka · 22/01/2013 22:29

See, that's why I never clean my oven.

Too risky.

ZooAnimals · 22/01/2013 22:30

Definitely me, I received an email directly from Justine telling me. I'm actually Dame ZooAnimals of Mumsnetshire now.

This is definitely not a lie.

Honest.

Nagoo · 22/01/2013 22:30

There was a 'nice' royalty thread? Shock

People should definitely delurk. Lurkers! Stop bloody previewing!

FlouncingMintyy · 22/01/2013 22:32

I agree with Cortana. It kind of depends where you hang out. I am sure there are thousands of Mumsnetters who have never heard of Hully or Paggy or the rest of your Royalty.

There are many posters whose names I see all the time but I would not call them Royalty, either.

I did once, nagoo but it was far too scary on AIBU so I returned to my lurking ways.......

DeepRedBetty · 22/01/2013 22:32

There's people whose names you see a lot, and some of them are pretty reliable with good advice, and others are very good at making me Grin, and a very few manage both. But I'm not going to name names, as (a) it's offensive to the ones whose names I forget, (b) some of the best stuff has come from people who don't post that often and (c) some of us name change fairly regularly. Like me.

NaturalBaby · 22/01/2013 22:36

There is no such thing as MN royalty.
Is there?

HoneyDragon · 22/01/2013 22:36

Yes. In fact I can think of at least two fairly recently that were nice yet mentioned royalty.

Anyway, its like a lot of terms on forums, it can be used to endear or sneer. It's more telling about how a person uses the term than the person they use it for, I find.

Not that many people use it meanly, you just tend to remember when they do.

FunnysInLaJardin · 22/01/2013 22:37

So Mintyy I know you are on a flounce but who are your best loved posters?

Dreamy I have now Grin

And yes lurkers, post post post. I was once one of you and scared but now I am.........mediocre

There's no such thing as Mumsnet Royalty. you are all cunts equally! Grin

HoneyDragon · 22/01/2013 22:38

Betty. It's still obvious it's you though Grin

beachyhead · 22/01/2013 22:38

Depends on the topic......also changes over time... Real Royalty doesn't change over time

FunnysInLaJardin · 22/01/2013 22:40

aye saggy I am a cunt, tis true. I did have the builders round to look at my conversion tonight though. They were dying to know my budget but I wouldn't tell

OP posts:
exoticfruits · 22/01/2013 22:41

I am always surprised that anyone thinks there is such a thing. A new poster, making there first post is just as valid(and quite possibly more sensible) than those who post a lot. I have never heard of some of the names who are supposed to be royalty!

Greensleeves · 22/01/2013 22:41

These threads make me feel old. and uncool. like an elderly banana.

BluelightsAndSirens · 22/01/2013 22:42

I want to include zombie but isn't there loads of zombiexyz....?

I think we need an organisational chart.

TuftyFinch · 22/01/2013 22:43

I've never heard of Hully.

IamtheZombie · 22/01/2013 22:43

Justine

Carrie

Helen

Rebecca

Olivia

Rowan

And all the others at HQ who provide this place for us.

FlouncingMintyy · 22/01/2013 22:43

I honestly don't think of anyone as Royalty Funnys. I have posters that I particularly like, don't we all? and a tiny number who are really not my cup of tea

Nagoo · 22/01/2013 22:43

Can anyone smell burning?

SPsFanjoIsAsComfyAsAOnesie · 22/01/2013 22:44

SPsFanjo is here all the fucking time. She obviously has no life.
