What an utter tit

Let's all hold hands and think of poor Mrs Terry.

squoosh - no way can he be married. I mean, who would?

Looking at some of his other comments and posts I think we can safely say that Terry is very much a single and bitter man.

Good

Oh he's going to get a load of hits on his website and start charging people to advertise! DO NOT CLICK!! What he wrote is up thread!

Evening all,
There have been quite a few reports wondering if these threads are being started by Tezza himself, for a spot of self-promotion, but having investigated it just looks like three or four (I can only find three threads) perfectly genuine MNers have seen the ad, felt righteously outraged and brought that fury to MN, as is the right and proper thing to do. Keep up the good work, all, and thanks to those who reported.

And then he wrote this blog today www.sim64.co.uk/blog/mumsnet-translator-wanted-by-dh/

He's obviously trying v hard to be contentious

Apologies to you OP

I wonder if Terry looks like Terry from Eastenders? ... Bleurgh.

Apologies OP!

Terry the twonk you get no apologies!

a SERIOUS website for SERIOUS MEN with SERIOUS BUSINESSES

barked Tezza as he STRODE around the room, brushing aside the hordes of meaningless women cluttering his path. Chin JUTTING, he assumed a MASTERFUL pose as he uploaded adverts for three Abba tribute bands, a dog grooming parlour and an envelope-stuffing job to his monochrome, badly-executed website with its uniquely regional aroma.

he will be feeling very smug as he'll see all the page views he got from mumsnet today.

Oh I doubt it somehow

It's an extremely badly designed web-site. The number of categories and geographical locations looks impressive until one clicks on any of the links which click through to random selections of businesses in random locations.

Well I've just registered by business, I think it was called fuck you or something.
The website was pure shite though. I had to select abbey wood in Aberdeenshire before I died of boredom while inputting an address.

I think Terry is aka Brian, the msn with the yoni business. Similar sort of name.

My Dad's called Terry.

He's lovely though.

Not like you Terry you sad little prick.

I wonder why he needs a translator when there is a perfectly good page on mumsnet that tells you what a the acronyms mean! I mean, he must have actually seen that page in order to write a post using all those acronyms vaguely in context, so what in fact is he bloody moaning about!

Besides, why would he even want to come on mumsnet, we are all just a bunch of silly bored housewives gossiping while our other halves are out earning a living after all - we only discuss silly lady problems don'tcha know :p

Just added a dogging business .....

Nitty

Stop feeding Terry the Clickbaiter

To be fair, there have been lots of threads on here by ppl pissed off by Facebook mums starting up cup cake/ dummy clip/ bunting businesses.
I'm quite amused by terry

Is the website founded by the Magic Penis Society?

We've blogged about this and MN responses on Prowess the online centre for women in business.

Standing up to Small Business Sexism

“If you are just a little housewife running a little business from home earning some pin money..” Small Business Sexism is rarely that blatant, but the subtle stuff is no less deadly.

Don't expect I can post a link, but will have a go: www.prowess.org.uk/small-business-sexism

Hey, let's not cuss a site with such amazing user reviews:

"
Very pleased with my listing on the Small Business Directory and happy to recommend it. I had a minor query today and to my amazement there was a standard rate phone number for me to ring. To my greater surprise, somebody actually answered my call. We had a short chat and my query was resolved. Makes a pleasant change to be able to speak to a real person and get an immediate answer instead of emailing 3 times and waiting months for the reply that never arrives. Keep up the good work !!!"

They have a phone number! That's innovation right there!
