To wonder why people insist on posting about 'MN Royalty'?

[BIWI]

Because it's always an insult.

But no-one is ever named.

If you do it, what do you mean? Why do you do it?

Does it ever cross your mind that long-standing, non-name-changing posters might be very hurt by your accusations?

If you're going to do it, have the courage of your convictions and name names.

That sounds hilarious Gobbo, I must confess i have a slightly unhealthy memory of about a handful of posters names who have said things that are incredibly rude to me - going back years. I don't care about people disagreeing with me tho, just those random wtf comments you get on here.

Well quite worra

Now I need to find a thread to vehemently disagree with you in before I'm accused of being in a clique or a vile jealous hater

U2 sweety, you're better than royalty. You're a super mnetter, with the superpower to arrive out of nowhere every time someone posts

Bono and U2 are shire weasels

And go

"Nope. You are wrong"

Flumpet

If there is MN Royalty then there should be Newbie Allstars. I am putting myself up there. I've posted about some paint. #newbieallstars

I used to be a somebody

I remember massively disagreeing with you that you couldn't find a cleaner in tonbridge mrsk. I literally couldn't believe it and searching gumtree frantically during s particularly bad period of pregnant related insomnia

Before you take out a restraining order, the reason I remember this dark period is because all the searching has massively ducked up my gumtree cookies and I don't know how to fix it so now when I'm searching for something for me I have to make the radius about 300 bloody miles and sift through everything as I live bloody miles away from tonbridge

I might have to relocate there as gumtree is insistent that I live there. Is it nice?

Oh yes, come and live here. I still have no cleaner but intend to get one - any recommendations?

usual!

Oh my God, I feel my fingers itching to google

why are there no cleaners there? I'm going to relocate and set up a cleaning agency.

I called a cleaning agency that leafletted our street once and asked for a quote for 2 hours cleaning a week, they quoted 48 fucking quid!! I said 'TWENTY FOUR POUNDS AN HOUR ARE YOU JOKING' and the lady snottily said no one else had ever said it was expensive and perhaps 'i just couldn't afford a cleaner'

Where's catthiefkeith?

Your highness !

I sometimes think there is unwritten code about which I know nothing.

eg AnyFucker and StealthPolarBear have been here since I have been a member and never changed their names.

Then there are other posters whom I loved but who seem to disappear, then new ones appear with names I don't know, but they are fab and what's more everyone seems to know them and I just assumed they are a name change and I am the only one who didn't get the PM as to who they are.

Then one day I read a problem where the OP's trouble reminded me of another well-known poster who had a similar long-running problem. I posted - light-heartedly - "are you xxx?" and was flamed by all and sundry. I was , especially as I had seen the poster xxx do that to people to trollhunt, and I was clearly not trollhunting, just joking. Luckily xxx didn't mind at all - it was the "how dare you" posters on her behalf that stunned me. If she had wanted no one to know it was her, she just needed to say "who is xxx?" and my joke would have fallen flat. But their outrage made it clear that it was actually her. But, as I say, she, the royalty poster herself, didn't care, it was the, ahem, courtiers that were the problem.

Readers: I did grovellingly apologise.

Since you've clearly been identified as royalty on this thread you can just barge in, maryz. Rtft is for commoners only.

Because some people have never grown out of the politics of the playground, I suspect.

Sorry, that's my fault. i'm a rambling wanderer. Perhaps it's because 'I AM THE DUKE OF EDINBURGH OF MUMSNET'. Sorry, again. I'll shut up now. if only that were true

Well since a lot of the royalty members have been named can they chuck some pennies this way? I'm just a lowly begger in need of food

I am guessing you are MMRoyalty then Maryz bows not a veiled insult I am definitely feeling completely oblivious I agree with you that most GF are new posters, name changers. Last week I was nearly going to take a couple of pictures of my 'I'm on' threads, they were practically all deleted, all from newbies. I think I must be attracted to shit stirrers.

Agree it's often a veiled dig. Though am myself fond of clandestine archaeological excavations.

I can see a castle out of my window. Am I now royalty? Though some bugger's added red lighting to it recently. One may as well be in Transylvania.

Perhaps I am Countess Fiderer von Königen?
