To think the 'MN isn't what it used to be' threads, aren't what they used to be?

[ArsenicChaseScream]

They used to be a bit sparkier somehow. And glossier. And had more snow.

This year's penis beaker is a webcam surely?

Well, this week's at least.

Today has been a fucking doozie on MN

I personally yes speaking from my pov would rather you all read the question and FULL THREAD before answering

I haven't heard anyone say "having it off" since 1987.

Oh I wish that were the case. My Mum says it (generally when watching soaps, so not in public or anything too often), when she's here I go though quite a lot of brain bleach.

I blame Capaldi and Moffatt

chipping absolute brain bleach situation. I get it when mine says 'two-timing'. Also generally when watching soaps.

Yes Callme - we should all try to be a little more Clara

oh and it was Gordons - naturally

I was thinking, just the other day, we should have a 10 year round up of all the best "mn has changed" threads. It would be interesting to see the then and now. I seem to remember up roar about having more than 5 topics (before sub topics were a glint in hqs eye).

The old threads were funnier

Makes even less sense considering my brain missed the NC and asked the question anyway....

Can't read, can't think, what can I do?

It's not Bombay is it gordy? Magic juice that.

Mumsnet at its worst.

I don't know who anybody is anymore.

all gin is magic juice

I still love you Arsey

I haven't read the whole thread but when I joined MN in 1899 we were far more respectful and I remember posting about my poor DS (5.7) getting upset about cleaning chimneys for a living, but someone (I think it may have been you Arsenic) bucked me up no end by pointing out how we were doing our best for good old Queen Victoria (bless her) and that DS should develop a stiff upper lip and pull his socks up. Sigh

I don't know who anybody is anymore.

In what sense Exit?

and that DS should develop a stiff upper lip and pull his socks up.

Sounds like me

I think I'm still me but I'll need to check with Matron.

There are so few names that I recognise.

I think people are still 'having it off', Chipping's mum is always at it apparently. 'Bonking' seems to have thankfully become extinct though.

Have you tried meal planning OP? And definitely get a cleaner.

People still bonk in Swansea

I for one, am really pleased with the less glossier, less snow on 'em threads. Minimalist. That's what you should be aiming for. Dead twigs and...stuff.

And if we are pointing fingers, I blame hipster beards.

Squoosh thankfully my Mum is only talking about other people & usually those in/on soaps No amount of brain bleach would wipe out being told about her actually 'having it off' ...

I can only get 17 meals out of a chicken these days.

There are so few names that I recognise

I put that down to advancing years.

Those threads used to be as big as Wagon Wheels.

I blame it on Hitler. During the war threads were made a lot smaller due to post rationing. I remember my Granny talking about post substitutes made from cardboard, swede and powdered opinions.
