to insist that Mumsnet be shut down?

[FithColumnist]

I originally stumbled on MN about six months ago because I was googling the school I work in and found a few threads mentioning it (nothing bad!). Since then, I have become a full-on MN addict. Chat and AIBU are my daily obsessions, and Relationships has helped me out with advice on more than one occasion.

Now, the thing is, I'm not a mum. I'm not even a dad. Nor am I currently contemplating having DCs of my own. I'm a gay man in my thirties. AIB totally U to have not anticipated how much a bunch of witty, level-headed, opinionated, hilarious, compassionate people here would have taken over so much of my online time?

Yes please Op, it's sucking the life out of me. I haven't will power, the only option is to close it down.

Mumsnet rocks! It's quite happy for Zombie to shuffle around as much as she likes. It's her spiritual home.

Mumsnet loves you too, Zombie And anyone who doesn't can just FTFOTTFSOF and all that.

I'm also addicted to this place, I'm married but no children (yet). My wife once asked why I like MN and I said that it can be entertaining if a little insane.

Vangelina, I like Jocasta and Tarquin. Or Persephone and Atticus, perhaps?

Fith they need to be dressed in boden and eat only organic hummus from waitrose.

Pain au chocolat from lidl/aldi at the weekends.

Hummus? I was planning on quinoa and spelt, going fully organic vegan. Only the best for little Atticus and Persephone!

whatever you do don't start an aldi thread.

I reckon you could do a paleo wheat free vegan hybrid with some 5:2.

So just fruit and veg with a few nuts thrown in for variety from your organic farm shop. Sourced locally of course.

Welcome Fith. I assume you are on summer holidays too. Do you find yourself recanting mumsnetisms for the edification of your pupils? Mine are receiving a very broad and balanced education courtesy of the vipers.

I should be outside, in the fresh sunshiny air, doing the gardening.

Instead I am inside wondering what fith is going to cook for Atticus and Persephone this evening. Quinoa and bean burgers with a side of foraged mushrooms?

I curse you mumsnet. I haven't picked up a book for months because of you!!!!

DameDoom: let us just say that PSHE is definitely coloured by mumsnet!

I was planning on quinoa and spelt I supect you mean farro. As soon as they can be bought from Waitrose in the provinces then they should be removed from the menu.

Level 69 at mo. 91 is amazing.

atticus and Persephone well done!
Have you ever been tempted to tell SLT to GTFTF? (Or year 11?)
I'm loving Mn phse. There's a scheme of work right there (or a thread)

Now this sounds more productive. Perhaps I should get the vipers to help with the issue of executive function, and how to promote its development. a far greater stealer of time than mn

I'd forgotten about damnyouautocorrect and someecards Zing do still sometimes find the message in a bottle site occassionally when I really want to kill time.

Agres..have read the pigeon painting thread now...very funny. Dh (was in dog house due to dropping 6 bowls) asked me why i was laughing so much...

My pretend children are Mungo and Snitchly. I'm another (real) childless, partnerless, hopeless, non-female Mumsnetter.

I'm thinking of getting the PDCs a pretend pet but I can't figure out what they'd like. Mungo doesn't do non Minecraft animals at the moment but Snitchly is planning world domination in a few years time so I'm thinking she'd appreciate a cat.

I ciuld have finished a PhD if I'd spent my MN hours on one.
I'd be a sight less educated though.
