I won't mention names but some of them seem to be popular for....not a lot really. Certain people come to mind who have a reputation for being straight talking and funny but most of the time I don't see it. I find them rather disagreeable tbh. Is it just me?

Buffy I am so sorry to disappoint. Grin I am a wavy blonde. I have had compliments on the back of my hair and everything.

Damn pigeons.

ScrambledSmegs · 08/10/2015 18:11

Haven't seen one of these threads for a while

You know OP, what you might see as rudeness is often seen as honestly and straightforwardness by others. Everyone's different. I respect your right to be upset about it, but I'm not too sure what you hoped a thread vaguely alluding to 'certain posters' being unkind was going to achieve?

If you see posters making personal attacks then do report to MNHQ.

ScrambledSmegs · 08/10/2015 18:12

Hey, this has moved on a bit, hasn't it? Should have refreshed Blush Whoops.

I do love a good pie chart.

ScrambledSmegs · 08/10/2015 18:13

By popular you mean prolific and they're only popular in their own minds and with a few sychophants.

HoneyDragon · 08/10/2015 18:19

Well the ops going to have to get used to me being around, and I'd appreciate more HullyGully.

I've just forked out for a new condenser dryer so am skint. You are now all officially the only thing I have.

SkandiStyle · 08/10/2015 18:19

I too is a wavy blonde...are we being cloned by MNHQ [suspicious]

00100001 · 08/10/2015 18:19

I looooove you evilcherub

Sparklingbrook · 08/10/2015 18:19

Ooh a wavy blonde clique. Is that allowed? We could have a meet up but not on a day when it's damp outside. Grin

You have precisely 37 minutes until the thermostat pops, and your new dryer breaks down Honey [speaks from bitter experience]

MrsKoala · 08/10/2015 18:21

Sparkling - i remember years ago someone posted a thread and the first response was the typical Fabbychic one, the poster immediately said 'thanks for that bitchplopper' and i think i nearly burst something with laughter. I'd never heard that term before and it was just so perfect to describe her posting style. You saying it upthread has just reminded me (and made me laugh all over again) god i need a life

I can see how this jolly 'reunion' thread can be seen as a load of 'popular' mners being a bit rude and disrespectful to the OP by just being cheeky and having a laugh all over the thread. But then again i can see how it's just a bunch of mates who recognise each other having a laugh together. I think the difference is whether you are part of the group or not. I think it's nice seeing people have a nice chat tho. Sometimes it's a bit fighty and bitey here.
