Cinn for the last time, there are NO plot holes, dodgy writing or anything of that sort. Oh and you forgot to add "utter bollocks" to the list of things we talk about.

It's lovely in the Inn. Frequented by the feistiest and loveliest bunch of women I've ever met. It's not quichey at all. If women having fun, friendships and a laugh offends you then please just hide us. YABU.

DrMalcolmTuckerWhosMistress · 19/10/2014 08:59

We've had a rare old time! And in all seriousness some great friendships have been made and we are always happy for other people to join in. Why wouldn't we be? It's not like we are of the school bully mentality where we'd start a thread bitching about other threads we don't like or anything Hmm

We've had some fabulous meet ups and it's all been a pretty wonderful experience. It's nice having that little one thing in common and it sets the tone for humour and friendships.

ApricotCrush · 19/10/2014 09:00

Don't make it sound so good. They'll all want to join us and then the threads will last for 20 minutes instead of 3 days.

PinkSquash · 19/10/2014 09:07

I think she is intimidated by the Wenches in the Swagger Inn.

It's gotta be.

Bloody love those Musketeers tho and I'm not involved at all.

DrMalcolmTuckerWhosMistress · 19/10/2014 09:16

Well PinkSquash the vortex is always open to those with appropriate tastes!

RumpledElkSkin · 19/10/2014 09:18

Well pink

You know where we are....unless you're all about athos.....in which case you can do one hide the thread, k?

FolknNorah · 19/10/2014 09:20

UABU to minimise rape. That's the sort of thing you should be directing your ire at IMO.
Hmm
There isn't some rule that you have to read every thread that appears btw.

DrMalcolmTuckerWhosMistress · 19/10/2014 09:25

Go oooon Pink you know you want to...

DrMalcolmTuckerWhosMistress · 19/10/2014 09:26

We are going to have our own Secret Santa!! If that's not enticement I do not know what is.

Anniegetyourgun · 19/10/2014 09:27

There isn't? I've been doing it wrong for years then!

Fenton · 19/10/2014 09:32

Bit of a shitty thread from someone who ought to know better.

Best ignored.

Badvoc123 · 19/10/2014 09:35

Washing update...
2 loads out away
2 loads to go on.
I might pop to ikea later....can I get anyone anything?
Anyone is welcome in the Inn.
Except anyone who loves Athos.
You can fuck off

W00woo · 19/10/2014 09:35

I remember the horrid thread that stopped Lottie posting about wilf. I miss those threads. Sorry to derail.

W00woo · 19/10/2014 09:36

Miss lotties threads obviously - not the mean ones ??

CuttedUpPear · 19/10/2014 09:36

DrMalcolm your first post on this thread inviting non Inn fans to "fuck the fuck off" is really horrible.
I didn't think it was a clique before I read that.
I just minded that you didn't have a thread topic of your own so I could hide it.

Now I wouldn't stray onto an Inn thread for love nor money.

Btw I use the app, which doesn't have a hide thread function.

Badvoc123 · 19/10/2014 09:36

Yes woo, I remember that too.
Some real bitches with nothing better to do around, aren't there?

SqueezyCheeseWeasel · 19/10/2014 09:38

Tbh, I feel the same, I do hide them.

I'm the same with the bloody 'vaping' threads. For some reason I can't find 'stop smoking' on my subjects to hide list. Very irritating

DrMalcolmTuckerWhosMistress · 19/10/2014 09:41

No, CuttedUpPear just OP. Who had implicated, personally, I was being "Rapey". But feel welcome to see it how you wish to see it!

Badvoc123 · 19/10/2014 09:42

I am confused....

There are many, many threads on MN I don't post on that are very prolific...
Bootcamp
Christmas bargain
BCAS
It doesn't bother me that they are prolific.
It doesn't bother me that they exist.
What is the ops problem, exactly?
That a bunch of women have bonded over a TV programme and have become friends?
That we meet up and have a good time?
That we support one another through the shitty times?
Am quite bemused by the nastiness and assumptions of the op.
And as the titles being"rapey"? I won't even dignify that with a reply.
As to hiding the thread - do so.
If you use the app and can't do so...well...that's life! :) try not to let it get to you.
Have a good Sunday everyone!

DrMalcolmTuckerWhosMistress · 19/10/2014 09:47

Go switch off your TV set and go do something less boring instead?

maras2 · 19/10/2014 09:49

Lottie has started posting again after a few months of being upset by a newbie who ignorantly posted some crap like 'Oh and while I'm moaning,what's with that woman and someone called Wilf.Who cares' So Lottie went off line.Who could blame her.After a few months and lots of support she's back but posting under a different but recognisable name.Welcome back Lottie. < waves to Lottie and Wilfred >

thegreylady · 19/10/2014 10:02

Haven't a clue about Musketeers, swaggers etc but want to say YAY! dear lottie and Zombie.

lyndie · 19/10/2014 10:15

CuttedUp you don't know the half of it! I would echo dear Badders and Cin what's not to like? I see long running threads of those TTC, stop smoking, lose weight, good on them. I am pretty sure I can speak for everyone on the thread by saying our lives have been enhanced by it. Other threads are available. Chalet School not my cup of tea for instance. We've found somewhere where we fit in and we like it. Sorry not sorry for being so prolific. Now, have you met Vinnie yet?

HolyQuadrityDrinkFeckArseGirls · 19/10/2014 10:18

I think we all know the most offensive running thread ever is the fecking Christmas one. All. Year. Round Grin.

That and the bloody Klaxon .

LaComtessdelafere · 19/10/2014 10:19

I know this is best ignored but must point out that IF the op had read the thread then they would know that

  1. some participants on the thread have been affected by sexual violence in real life and have been well supported and comforted by those on the thread. Therefore your silly 'rapey' phrase is both nonsense and very ill judged.

  2. IF it was such a clique why does the thread continue to grow and have new participants? Not a clique but a lot of fun.
