Can't say I like it either. There is a reason I don't go on netmums anymore definitely miss the roll eyes and fainting smiley though

I highly doubt people were taught that at school, so why do it? I get enough of it on Facebook.

I do think there has been an invasion of tightass prigs though.

^ this. A thousand times this ^

The sheer volume of passive aggressive, condescending, bollocks on here at the moment is going to give me an ulcer.

Emilythornesbff · 01/08/2013 19:45

Don't you find you can't help reading it all though Randal ?
addictive.

RandallPinkFloyd · 01/08/2013 19:51

I do Emily, I really do.

It's not good for my rage.

scottishmummy · 01/08/2013 19:58

Not my cuppa tea,but neither are the lufflys,the vairy naice,or the this too will pass
Worst of all is the fake buffet that's twee
Its All schlocky sentimental drippy shite, but i let it go over me.everyone has different style

ZingWidge · 01/08/2013 20:05

Is that what you meant?Wink

ZingWidge · 01/08/2013 20:05

Ems!!!!

scottishmummy · 01/08/2013 20:24

Pretending you're hostess at a buffet,is twee.you're not
I cannot see how pretending to be hostess to the pc warriors enhances a thread
But I know the this too will pass huns,and pretend bench inhabitants probably love it
