is it time to stop with the 'girls' day/night out shit?

[FrankietheSquealer]

Its patronising

It's like the old days round here, MN isn't MN without a thread about people who hate Cod and people who think she's funny and irreverent. And four other people saying what the fuck is a COD.

All we need now is FrannyandZooeys 10/10 thread and it'll be all 2007 up in here

Oh god. She was fun. And her wnaky baskets.

Ahhh I liked 2007 although I preferred 2009. I was a lurker with bad internet connection until then.

Wnaky baskets!

I assume you meant wanky baskets but then that doesn't sound right either

What's a wanky basket? Is it related to the penis beaker?

It's a treasure basket for babies. For heuristic play.

I possibly have one.

Penis Beaker; the hysteria over that deeply unfunny pile of nonsense beggared belief. Now THAT would never have happened in 2007, or even 2009.

wnaky baskets being lowered out of a window.....

Hmmm.

I don't think there's anything wrong with the term per se , it's just a description. sometimes having a night out with only women is awesome.

I am hoping to arrange a night out with a few female friends whom I share a common cultural interest with and I respect as people and I hope to enjoy their conversation (which will probably involve the common cultural interest). I wouldn't want any male friends attending.

My individual experience though is the phrase has been hijacked.

when individuals use this, there is a big difference between rhetoric and reality (a bit like the kind of night out in the Office which David Brent organises).

Whenever I've had a potential "woop woop Girls Time" presented to me it inevitably is really, really shit and despite promises of female solidarity it always is a bit flat.

It's the kind of thing a netm**ms user would say you know what I mean hunny babe?

And the pottery penis

And the refusal to buy jeans from Gap

And the thread about the Xmas party, with photos

So, anyone been to Norfolk recently?

Regina is very aware of "cod" who hadn't posted since 2007/8 yet claims not to remember anything of that era.

Nope didn't say I didn't remember that era I said I liked 2007 and but preferred 2009.

Look Regina, I am sorry you don't like me But i don't quite know what I'm supposed to do about it.

Thing is you can generally tell from the title if it's a fishy thread or not. Just don't look.

Oh, is this a pbp?

I don't know what a pbp is.

Urban dictionary tells me it's a pain in both testicles for no apparent reason.

Evening all,

Just a reminder to keep things civil and stay clear of personal attacks.

A link to our Talk guidelines, should anyone need a reminder...

Nothing you can do really. I suppose you could be more mindful of the threads you post but then again plenty of people like them so I wouldn't want them to go without.

Tbh I feel much better for telling you how I feel it was quite theraputic. Maybe there should be a thread where posters can say how much and why they dislike another. You could start it

Pbp.... Mumsnet acronym for 'previously banned poster'

Na itsmine, Cod is like the MN version of the Kray twins. Everyone and their uncle Jimmy hung around with her once.

I'm glad you feel better.

such a thread would be utter carnage Regina. I'm in!

90% of this thread makes no sense to me

Ah. I'm sure the OP is a harmless kitten really. At least Daftpunk's gone.
