Ok not really.

But now you're here AIBU to ask you to read this thread which is really quite important instead?

If I had wanted to comment on that thread I would have done so and it doesn't need you creating a new thread to link to it.

I think the NHS is mostly popular. I like it :)

Special K actually have a new 'with Gin' product to add to their ridiculous plethora of flavours (including the chocolate one which tastes like a weird dessert)

Oh FFS. Yes, posting an obviously fake and lighthearted title to get attention.

Depends on whether you think the NHS is a good cause, whether you want recognisable healthcare free at the point of use in a decade.


Makes no difference to me, I'm no longer in it.

As an aside, I wondered for ages why one of my nursing colleagues had a post it with "FFS" on her monitor. I figured it got her through the day. Finally I mention it and apparently it means "Fit For Surgery". :)

You can hover over or right click a link to see what it is (unless you're on the app I expect).

No gin? Definitely not eating it. But I did download the document.

Trying to manipulate the freedom people have on the Mn by posting misleading heading. I will not be clicking on the link even though it maybe for a good cause.

I promise. It links to AnotherEffingOrangsRevel's post also in AIBU. If you'd rather not click the link, thread title is "...to ask how you feel about the NHS?" Scroll down & click direct :)

She was right though, this thread already has more replies!

I'm not clicking on it to find it takes me off to some weird/illegal porn site.

Or the thread currently in active asking if anyone's tried a 'MMF threesome'

i once did a 'holding order' for Ocado. (i.e. random stuff over £40) I forgot to update it.

My husbands face when he took delivery of a bottle of gin and 12 cans of sardines was priceless.

Sardines and gin is now code house for any silly forgetful moment.

i read a recipie for pink gin yesterday, the original just had gin and bitters, apparently it needs a spoonful of sugar for modern tastes.
So add sugar as well as the gin.

Sorry. The link is to another mumsnet thread (I said "this thread" in the text but obviously could be lying there) - and after posting it the OP mentioned she should have used a catchier title. So I started another one, with variation on her catchy title to try to increase traffic.

There are huge threads where someone is complaining about the junior doctors strike, there are massive funding issues and healthcare gaps. It's important to everyone to have their say.
