Sparkling have i popped your bubble or something it seems like your begging for us. To leave this sight were not hurting anybody and obviously were your new little obsession. Its fine i find it quiet flattering .

Hmm

Are you sure you won't reconsider facebook? I have a feeling it's much more your thing.

twistedlove · 21/02/2016 21:18

I was just making a friendly suggestion.

Calm down, dear.

Passmethecrisps · 21/02/2016 21:23

MN is full of garbage - all sorts of rubbish. Much of it funny but some of it just nonsense. This isn't an AIBU but considering how many people would like that section stopped anyway or others who post for traffic I cannot see why it is an issue.

Report, hide or move on. Those are your choices if a thread doesn't appeal.

ephemeralfairy · 21/02/2016 21:31

This is one of the best threads I've ever read on here. OP you sound great. I would like to have a few jars with you if I'm ever in the toon!

And I would bloody love to have a roast cooked for me every sunday. My mum and DP's mum are both very far away and I miss them.

I find it odd that people don't know what 'canny' and 'sound' mean...both are colloquialisms that have been around for ages. You know, as in 'sound as a pound'. Hardly 'text speak'. Awful lot of language snobbery on here sometimes.

WorraLiberty · 21/02/2016 21:36

Christ, what's with the digs on this thread? Anyone need a JCB?

Just ignore them OP.

The majority of threads in AIBU have nothing to do with the OP asking if they're being unreasonable anyway.

They just tend to try to word it that way, because they want the traffic in this topic.

So we get threads like...

"AIBU to have a headache"? (What the fuck? How COULD you be???)

"AIBU to have helped an elderly person who fell over in Tesco"? (Huh? Yes, you should have stepped over their body and continued to the frozen veg aisle)

"AIBU to feel cold"? (Well no, unless you're sat naked at a fucking bus stop!?)

We're not talking to eachother anymore so i dont see why people still have a problem with us Confused

MattDillonsPants · 21/02/2016 22:10

The OP reads like an Alan Bleasdale script.

MattDillonsPants · 21/02/2016 22:11

Oh. No...just seen OPs posting style actually changed from

"I love her she does me dinner, nowt up wi her.. top Marmar" etc to being quite articulate. Confused

manicattack · 21/02/2016 22:27
