Or who uses your bog?

Just think of something original to be all AIBU about.

It's ages til the next school holiday. Sad

I love the teenage troll threads.

CuttedUpPear · 28/02/2015 00:19

I was pondering asking MNHQ if we could get Brian in for a Q&A.
Much more enervating than all them politicians and fitness weirdos.

I want to know why there haven't been threads about carrying the placenta and cord around with the baby for 3 weeks.
There's a whole new lump of bun fightery and competition there.
Or maybe I've missed them.
Wouldn't be the first time.

usualsuspect333 · 28/02/2015 00:26

I can't be doing with all the fitness stuff.

It involves moving off the sofa.

YANBU

I have a not so original issue.

My CRT TV for bedroom TV-watching is breaking and Argos stopped selling CRTs yonks ago. I'll have to get a flatscreen!

Anyway, here's my issue: wibu to invite the daily mail to the official funeral of our crt? Could telling DM journalist that you can't even buy a fucking non-flatscreen any more possibly backfire on us?

Surely not?

I like ones about cats, and sharing pictures of said cats (not pussies), Sparkling and her sleb threads... there's not been a good Orange Klaxon for ages, last time someone told us off for laughing at Precious Peter because "he's really nice". And the grammar nobs can nob off too.

What's with the?.. 'Lighthearted' "AIBU I got out of bed and did a big stretch and it felt really nice which is weird because I've never got out of bed to stretch before and I didn't realise what a difference it would make".
What's that all about? Put it in chat, or don't, I thought I was bothered but now I've typed it all out I'm not really. They're harmless.

Still despise the "it's have op, not of you thick classless oaf" manner of some though.

Maybe it's all about making placenta cupcakes now.

OP posts:
MetallicBeige · 28/02/2015 00:30

Putting glitter on everything and flogging it is the in thing around these parts. A glitter coated placenta might make a nice centrepiece.

usualsuspect333 · 28/02/2015 00:32

There's one for The Great British Bake Off.

Make a cupcake with placenta icing.

Placenta Wellington could work.

trufflesnout · 28/02/2015 00:36

Placenta Wellington actually sounds alright

usualsuspect333 · 28/02/2015 00:38

A nice placenta pasta bake.

I bet Heston already has one on special offer in Waitrose.

OP posts:
BewitchedBotheredandBewildered · 28/02/2015 00:45

Well that seen 'em all off!

Sorry.

I was going to say Heston will have one that grows another baby but think that might be a step too surreal

TheCatAteMyTaxReturn · 28/02/2015 00:55

Thread killer!

You are not being unreasonable in my opinion. I am a mother of 2 daughters and pregnant with number 3. I work also 60 hours per week so you can imagine

CuttedUpPear · 28/02/2015 06:41

It does seem that there are fewer (lighthearted) bastards these days, I've been jumping on them like the Stasi and I think possibly scared their little diddums innocent lives out of them because I'm a bitch

They just put everything in AIBU now. Some bar raising is urgently required.

Is it too early on a nice Saturday morning to start a thread about lotus birth?
With links to Google Images?

Or would nobody give a shit? Sad
What do you all think?

WineCowboy · 28/02/2015 08:23

I'll go with that pacific I've got to go to the outlaws today so anything to distract me from thinking about that will suffice!

PacificDogwood · 28/02/2015 08:24

I've got at a rough estimate 2.000.000 things to do, so procrastinating on MN and generally fucking about in the interwebz seems like the most productive thing to do Grin

Hmm
HicDraconis · 28/02/2015 09:05

I know this is a whole lot of cool people and stuff and I probably don't belong in here but back up a tick. You wash bathmats? I mean obviously if there is shit on it, you have to clean it but otherwise?

ovaryhill · 28/02/2015 09:09

The fanjo/pledge wipe comment reminds me an unfortunate drunken incident involving friends fanjo/ domestos wipe mistaken for Andrex wipes
Ensuing burning minge required immediate cooling and the only thinIg we could find deemed suitable was a frozen corn on the cob to hold against it
Unfortunately the combination of slightly damp minge /frozen cob meant it stuck fast!
Other friend decided antihistamines would do the trick to take the sting out but in drunken state gave friend prescription strength laxative by mistake
