to ask why is it frowned upon to remember things some posters' say

without actually doing a search, why is it not ok to perhaps ask a poster who previously posted for example "I have twin boys both starting school son" who then asks for advice on how to adopt for example as they don't have children .... "hang on a second, I thought you said last week you have twin boys". why is this frowned upon? people are accused of doing advanced searches when some people actually have a good memory or remember a thread as it resounded more for them than others ... and are asked "eh, what has that to do with this thread". am genuinely asking. wouldn't be for someone following a poster around and tearing shite out of everything they post ... but why cant a poster's posting history be questioned if there are obvious inconsistencies?!

Can you coco?!?! It's the one thing I forgot to eat when I was there in July.

I am not as sociopathic as that post makes me sound, btw

Of course not, lovey

HoneyDragon · 06/08/2013 20:20

Well, now you'll be remembered for having chocolate smeared walls and clean sheets you fucking sociopath, so that's good.

LeGavrOrf · 06/08/2013 20:24

NO, you smash them when they are still within the foil. So you can have fun smashing them but the house remains spick and span.

Anthea Turner could be my friend.

Yep. We're terribly cosmopolitan in Ards.
You can get them in the shopping centre and my local garage.
See? Sophistication personified.

MrsKoala · 06/08/2013 20:30

Shock DH smashes them and eats the face first. I think this is horribly cruel. I eat their bodies and leave the face till last, which i always thought was kindest, but when i think about it they can see themselves being eaten away and are forced to watch. So now i feel like a bastard.

LeGavrOrf · 06/08/2013 20:32

It's best to snap their ears off the bastards first.

Funnily enough I feel terribly guilty about cutting into a cake with a face on.

One of my Lindt bunnies has a bell round its neck.

LeGavrOrf · 06/08/2013 20:33

If I was having this conversation this is the point where my dd would look at me in horror and say 'stop fucking talking, mum'

Sounds more like she'd be quivering behind a louvred wardrobe door.

littlemisswise · 06/08/2013 20:42

LeGavrOrf now you are going to be known as the poster with the clean sheets, who likes to punch the fuck out of chocolate bunnies! Grin

I know what you mean. I remember what people say. Particularly the people I routinely think "twat" about after reading their posts. No doubt some may feel the same about me.

fluckered · 06/08/2013 21:05

I must say i think my pet hate is people posting 'drip drip drip' and therefore i remember their NN and scrawl it with a compass on a tile i keep face down in the kitchen, i call it my tile of hate and dance on it to 80s electro pop...

brilliant!

Eats chocolate.

magimedi · 06/08/2013 22:29

Chocolate? Why?

When you could have cheese 'n' onion crisps?

YAABVU - Crisps rule & down with choccolate!

ExitPursuedByABear · 06/08/2013 23:10

NUTS

MrsKoala · 06/08/2013 23:36

I have one word for you all saltnvinegarcrispsdippedinchocolateandpeanutbutterstripeyspread (not sure of the sp? but that defo is a word isn't it?)

ExitPursuedByABear · 06/08/2013 23:43

NOPE

HoneyDragon · 07/08/2013 00:22

Why has cadburys chocolate gone shite

But

Cadburys chocolate on ice cream and cadburys flake stayed the same?

DoubleLifeIsALifeHalved · 07/08/2013 02:22

Cadburys chocolate sooooo tastes bad now... Or at least, I say 'tastes', more like 'doesn't taste' as its favour less sugary wax now :( (cries sobbing through the night!)

MayTheOddsBeEverInYourFavour · 07/08/2013 03:02

My children have no qualms when it comes to cakes with faces on, everytime there is an almighty battle for who is going to get the eyes

Morloth · 07/08/2013 03:02

It is pointless calling people out on their bullshit here.

Because a good 80% of stuff posted is bullshit.

There are definitely serial offenders for this, I just don't bother posting for those people once I see what is going on - I got caught out once years ago and never again.

So just go with the flow and don't let it get to you...

MrsKoala · 07/08/2013 03:27

See i believe everything i read - i am so gullible! How do you get the 80% stat Morloth? (just curious as to why my bullshit radar is broken)

Morloth · 07/08/2013 03:49

I just made it up. Wink

See, bullshit!

Is easy.
