To ask is there an alternative to mumsnet out there for people who...

[Somethingisntactuallyanything]

Do not think smearing a soiled nappy on a car is a good idea, or mixing cat poo with milk and pouring it into airvents to get rid of problem parkers, etc etc. It's all gone a bit bizarre round here, and I used to read mn for sane, diverse, funny, wise intelligent opinion. Now my eyes bulge at the majority of posts / advice - people are aggressive and humourless far more often than wise, funny or kind. I'm hoping responses to this thread won't attract too many of those...

Has penis beaker ruined it for us long term posters?

If anyone can direct me to where all the old posters have gone I'd love to know

On it, I shall add my prestigious name

Oh Caprini, you're Pag? I think we've bumped into each other on a few threads here. Suddenly it all makes sense...

I've never been on netmums. I assume that's a good thing ?

I've popped on to add my support to Worra's thread.

Just saying hullo, really.

Snowball, anyone ?

Mrs V!! Lovely to se eyou!

No snowball but how about ?

Not long until Aus Open.

magi ! Hullo again !

I've got Snowballs. Big, long ones.

I'm not stalking you, honest.

And I am not stalking you - just so pleased to see you again!

Awww, lovely ! You'll make me cry.

This is what it used to be like, multiple conversations on multiple threads. We all had a giggle and forgot about RL for a little while.

Be nice if we could get a little bit of it back.

Multiple giggles is what I come here for & the support that's needed when life is tough.

I don't want to read about shitty nappys being flung on cars.

Quite, magi.

Think its a load of shite, frankly. 'Scuse the pun.

I've been here for years and obviously can't read every thread and I think the 'just venting' thing is quite new?.

I see lots of threads now with 'just venting' in the OP or OP replying to others 'i'm just venting, you don't need to comment if you don't like it'.

I'm not sure when 'just venting' became a 'thing'?. Why do people feel the need to post something on the Internet just to have others hear it but not really comment?.

Can't people have thoughts or experiences without telling random strangers about it on the Internet?.

OP MN is fucked.

Gosh, this seems to be an olde world MN gathering of the clans.

"Can't people have thoughts or experiences without telling random strangers about it on the Internet?."

Yes, just a tricky exchange in RL which may attract a raised eyebrow from time to time. Now seems to be worthwhile as a grand drama.

Apropos of nothing, really, was just lurking and thinking what a very pleasant thread this was, then misread Maryz post about gin and Sunny Delight as gin and Angel Delight. Which would be an intriguing drink, I think. Not sure if they still make the stuff, but I may have to pick up some 1970's themed instant dessert powders for experimentation purposes.

Butterscotch or Banana gin ? Or both ? That might work....

You could call it a gin smoothie, Ministry.

Specially if it was a banana or strawberry one.

You could freeze Angel Delight and make lollies.

Isn't there something with gin like wodka that it doesn't freeze, just gets very very very very cold ?

I don't drink gin but I might if I could flavour it with Angel Delight.

Could someone try and get back to me ? Please ?

Troo Maryz probs.

Maryz and Pannn - agreed!.

And that links to my earlier comment about the sweary one-liner responses along the lines of 'I'd tell the cunt to fuck off'.

Yeah, course you would (strokes Jimmy Hills chin).

yes, it also more seriously goes for the ltb opinion, as if there is no consequence to actually lbt. Some bastards seriously need leaving, but the notion is handed out like used bog paper.

I don't think some posters really respect how difficult it can be to LTB.

It's why I don't go on Relationships much.

Just seen yourself here Hully - are we anywhere nearer a sort of reconciliation at all? Just wondering.

I never go on Relationships. I don't have the required qualifications to advise.
