AIBU what's with the whole 'nethuns' nonsense?

[AuchAyethenoo]

I'm quite happily a member of both forums, I get lots out of both, but it does REALLY rip my knitting when a few on MN call it net'huns'.

Dare I say I actually find it quite an offensive term, being from Glasgow the word 'hun' has very particular connotations in a sectarian form.

I know there is a fairly large cross over of users, so why with the hate people?

[VitoCorleone]

CrazyNana you got banned?! (you prob have no idea who i am but we spoke on Nethuns before when i was on there all the time)

I used o be a regular over there and came over here after seeing MN being slagged off, MN was sooo not what i was expecting, ive only been back to NM once or twice and started noticing all the hunning and just stopped going om there

[VitoCorleone]

Now i wana know who ScarletLady is!

[Shakey1500]

Waves to Scarlett

I can't actually post on Bounty any more could be related that I kicked up a storm, wrote to the company owner, got a very nice reply and they got a bollocking

[ScarletLady02]

I'm Liz M (360) I always have a crazy haired profile pic.

Heeey Shakey I haven't been on there in yonks. I still chat to a load of debates regulars on Facebook though.

[VitoCorleone]

Ah i know who you are, your hair is awesome

[crazynanna]

Scarlet thankyou.for you r nice words, but tbh, NeoMums has been shit for a while now don't you think?

oohh Vito am intrigued

Yes the fuckers banned me. I got goaded once too often...and bit. Was getting fed up of it there anyway..like I said...looking in, I do now see how crap it is.

[ScarletLady02]

Hmmm...it has been getting worse. I'm less and less inclined to post, especially now I have another way to chat to the people I like on there. Hardly any of them post now either.

I'm definitely bored of arguing with David M

[crazynanna]

He's a card...ain't he?

Actually...he once passed me a compliment. I nearly choked on my cava

[ScarletLady02]

He actually likes me....it makes me cringe...

[VitoCorleone]

CrazyNana i wont say my name but my avatar over there is a pic of the same person my nick name is here. We PMd once when i guessed who you where on here and was thinking of joining MN

[tallulahturtle]

I've never been on NM but I've just had a look and one thing that stood out is that there are an awful lot of posts where the viewing figures for the post are very high but the replies are very low. At least on here, even if people don't know what advice to give, they just offer their support rather the just lurking.

[crazynanna]

Oh dear Vito...I suspect this was all before the menopause that has bestowed itself upon me..so I do not even remember my own name. But I bet I liked you

[VitoCorleone]

Ha its ok, we definatley spoke but i wasnt one of the popular posters that everyone remembers :(

Towards the end of my time there i just spent most of it on the Savvy shoppers thread (lovely ladies on there)

[JonHammsTrouserSnake]

at carzynanna's cunty ticker.

Are the huns too young for you to delight them with your menopause tales and the rabbitcam?

[ComposHat]

I live in Scotland but I never made the connection between Nethuns and the Sectarian use of the term. I think a website of this ilk specifically for hardliners within the unionist community could be useful.

Your paradez your rulez. lol

My sexy Lil bub looks so gawjuss with his flute and sash.

Counters for the glorious 12th


and lots of orange rather than pink.

[JonHammsTrouserSnake]

Netmums put me off parenting sites for years. I have a grudge.

I could have been early MN royalty. I old have been a legend. Ffs I could have been a moldie.

[crazynanna]

Jon

On the frequent "How old are we all...." threads...I was always the oldest

[SomethingOnce]

They call us The Dark Side but only cos the mods won't let them call us Wankers

I'm a wanker and proud of it.

Knock yourselves out, hunz

[pollywollydoodle]

i never realised that hun was anything but puke-tastic

squoosh i need to know what a Tim is now

[ComposHat]

Polly

A Tim is a Catholic.

Sometimes also used to refer to fans of Celtic, who traditionally draw their support from the Catholic community.

[DizzyZebra]

Can't get my head round the damned site.

The only thing I dislike about mumsnet is the fact I keep hitting report on my nexus. But a fair few mobile websites have unfortunately placed buttons.

I have a small ticker on another website saying how far I am in my pregnancy. It is not glittery and diets in with the background. It is because I am a genuine twat and keep forgetting how far I am.

Counting on the calendar is too much effort.

[DizzyZebra]

Fits, not diets

[pollywollydoodle]

cheers compos...learn something every day

[DizzyZebra]

Oh and babycentre birth boards... I got witch hunted for telling a ftm that unless shed been licking her cats arse, wiping it across the worktops or her food, or rubbing the litter tray contents on her face that she probably did not have toxoplasmosis.

This was after two negative test results from her HCP and about the 12th fucking time shed asked.

Also got accused of lying about pregnancy loss because I hadn't listed it in my signature. This was when I told a woman she didn't sound like she was having ectopic symptoms (given she was about 9 weeks and wouldn't be in a fit state to be telling us about them if she were, but to get checked if concerned).

[ParadiseChick]

Scarlett your one of the few others I'd agree with over there!

There was one sigh nippy mare I kept coming across, all she would say is 'you must not judge', her sig was something about not judging others but Jesus fuck she was the judgiest fucker around!

I used to cringe on threads about child benefit cuts where some people genuinely thought their hubbys were gettin taxed 40% on their whole salary.
