To issue a siren and sound a klaxon for those of us that once played together across the boards

Perhaps I am...but where are they now?

Come hither lamented playmates and fill my heart with joy and laughter.

I actually wrote that song but it was nicked off me.

Fuckers.

you are a veritable poet, Randall.

MadameDefarge · 21/06/2014 14:52

Can you do it in Haiku?

PoonAnnie · 21/06/2014 14:53

@ Randall

PoonAnnie · 21/06/2014 14:54

Snark?? snurk. Oh, the irony.

I think it was you Maryz with your AIBU about the fucking twats. There was a siren call through the ether, sort of like for Batman but with gin and atrocious cuntery.

RandallFloyd · 21/06/2014 16:14

I love the idea of a lark symbol projecting high Grin
Could we have a lark phone too?

Brilliant Grin

She of the insisting she has no purple parts only graces us with her delightfulness when it is XFactor season.

Maryz I have been lurking on and off for months but I forced myself to de-reg so I couldn't post. I just stood outside with my face pressed to the window like a sad Victorian shoeless orphan outside a sweet shop full of spoilt rich children getting fat on humbugs without me.

But now I'm here again. So that's good.

FellReturneth · 21/06/2014 16:21

I have to say though, the sweet shop shelves have mostly been bare, or full of stuff I don't care for, which has made it rather easy for me on the whole.

Fiderer · 21/06/2014 16:21

Twinkle well it brought me out of my cave Grin

RandallFloyd · 21/06/2014 16:28

Marvellous analogy, Fell!

TwinkleTwinkleStarlight · 21/06/2014 16:28

Well that can only be a good thing, I'm sure Grin

Fell aren't you in forrin climes and used to have a nautical name?

ginslinger · 21/06/2014 16:33

If you got banned Maryz then we'd put up a fight for you

Fiderer · 21/06/2014 16:34

Maryz no flouncing. I'd love a MaryzTeenagers topic where fucking twats and utter cunts would be zapped at the first post. Just working on the technology side before I put it to MNHQ.

ginslinger · 21/06/2014 16:36

I've been thinking about what I said about posters not being so awful in the past and I think what I meant was tht posters tended to be less mean spirited. Sure there was bitching and the whole Moldiegate, but generally people weren't up for a fight from the word go. I've lost count of te post where posters are just downright mean and i despair for what it must be like to know them

Stratter5 · 21/06/2014 16:41

There's no team spirit left. In the past, you could lark about, take the piss, rib the trolls. Now, the site is full of mean spiritedness; those little, under the surface Po digs, that if you respond to you get a slap.

The good humour has gone, and been replaced with a smug self righteousness, that doesn't sit well on a parenting site.
