I miss mumsnet as it was!!

[Lightupthefire]

Oh how I miss it when we all had fun, no one was serious, no one was stupid, no one ever did anything I didn't want them to do!! Oh wasn't it wonderful!

Ah, yes the Baileys' thread. The Janet and Roy threads are my guilty Christmas pleasure.

A pint of Baileys! I wish I had such fun friends.

A pint of Baileys!

Imagine the sick

I bought a Rudolph with greenery planted in to his back at Lidl's today - he's meant for outside but will get to spend the night in my kitchen as it is so wild outside that he would indeed turn in to a flying reindeer, but I fear would never come back. And that would be sad.

Prosecco, anybody?
Christmas has started Chez PD

I did my best with it, it was quite difficult. Bit overwhelming.

I'll have a pint of Prosecco PD.

Oh great! Are we playing favourites again but just under a different guise?

no one was serious? Are you? being serious? well, obviously, you ain't having a laugh.

Things change, it's no longer a little quiche, those who made it so have either moved on, or moved with the times. Get over it.

Did you mean to be so rude OP?. Red flags all around.

It did used to be a a right old laugh.

Full of wit and you could be a bit sarcastic without getting deleted.

I would love a pint of Baileys.

Or a pint of Prosecco.

Not on the same night though.

There was a really nice thread about how to spark up Prosecco.

I've got it saved for our housewarming party.

Thanks to everyone who posted on that

I remember when this was all green fields
(Apologies if anyobe has already said this bit I can't be arsed to ttft).

What's that then?

Tough out the fucking thread?

Tits to the fucking thread?

Twat the fucking thread?

Toil through the fucking thread

the pc twats scare off normal posters. i do post what i think. it maybe unpc but surely it's best discussed rather than just ushered away?

What do you class as a pc twat

people who report straight to HQ without sorting out on thread, thus educating everyone (or not)

Sorry, too excited to see Tiktok's name to RTFT. Takes me back to the breastfeeding days when I could spend many guilt free hours on MN because getting up off my arse would wake dd.

Poncy, poncey, works either way. Tomatoe-Potatoe, let's call the whole thing off

Prosecco is just the latest in a long line of fizzy white wine fads.

Fake champers

It's nice.

cin cin!

Right !
I have heliumitus of the upper aorta and calling things lighthearted is deeply offensive.
I also suffer from knickerius twisticus very time I loose an arugument and therefore must not be contradicted or it might progress into the altogether more serious complication of knickerius twisticus ab wedgi.
I had my sense of humour accidentaly removed because a doctor with dyslexia had my medical chart interpreted to them through the medium of expressive dance , and anybody anywhere laughing is clearly just taunting me..
so stop enjoying yourselves and please only hold circular conversations where the general tone is that of a teashop in a declining British seaside town on a rainy day where we can all talk about how much nicer it used to be when......

Oops sorry as you were...nothing to look at here ....

Good to see the poncy/poncey debate still going strong www.mumsnet.com/Talk/pedants_corner/440481-poncy-or-poncey-please circa 2007

English spelling makes no sense whichever way you look at it

Tha alternative way to spell 'fish':

• 'f' sound from 'enough'
• 'i' sound from 'women'
• 'sh' sound from 'information'

ergo 'ghoti' = 'fish'

Just sayin' - I am not at all bitter that I had to learn English/American spelling as an adult. And don't get me started on the random differences between how the two countries insist on spelling stuff. Never mind 'poncy' vs 'poncey', how about 'center' vs 'centre'?? Daft.

Well, my Apply spell check does not approve of 'poncy', keeps correcting it to 'pony'
