Do they seriously have so little to talk about they need to trawl the threads on MN for stories. He doesn't even like us, he likes the glittery shit on the other side!

I like the show but do find it a bit disturbing when familiar thread titles pop up.

I think you need to get yourself out in the fresh air 2under2aagh.

Why on earth would you martyr yourself by using a forum you think is a load of rubbish?

It's not something I would expect from an 'educated' person...

NeedACleverNN · 18/04/2016 11:01

I have never thought of it as a safe space

Just as a bit of entertainment, laughs and maybe a bit of advice if needed

I would never disclose anything that needed real serious help. That's what doctors are for

Sparklingbrook · 18/04/2016 11:01

So only uneducated people have free time. interesting...

Unless the name contains a swearword.

Good tip for not being quoted on the show, thank you Grin

Of course! I never graduated primary school. It's why I'm always on here

OohMavis · 18/04/2016 11:04

The little boy sticking his hand up the poster's skirt thread was done twice last week.

ILeaveTheRoomForTwoMinutes · 18/04/2016 11:05

Love you too 2under2aaghHalo

Itinerary · 18/04/2016 11:07

all the threads are similar, no one seems able to think for themselves and voice a different opinion and not agree with the sheep mentality

That's incorrect. And this is a different opinion to yours. There are always different opinions and interesting debates on here.

I work in medicine with other medical professionals and I honestly think a lot of people on here are uneducated, how else do they have the free time to write so much crap??

What does your job, whatever it might be, have to do with anything? Confused Do you think anyone who disagrees with you is uneducated?

Oops, forgot to highlight "2under2aagh*'s words there, they're not mine.

Pandakitchen · 18/04/2016 11:08

Agree Worra - We should remember that this is all public- over 3 billion people use the internet. We do not own our information once it is out there it is anybodies.

I always think the guests on TWS only wear glasses to make themselves look more intelligent and informed. yes i'm a bitch-

limitedperiodonly · 18/04/2016 11:09

The days of taking to the streets, armed with a clipboard are long gone

And I'm not the only journalist who mourns their passing worraliberty. You could go missing for hours, and in the days before mobiles they had no way of hauling you back.

OohMavis · 18/04/2016 11:09

You sit and read Mumsnet until your kid needs a nappy change, 2under2?

With public confessions like that, you'll find yourself a TWS topic in no time Wink

WorraLiberty · 18/04/2016 11:14

Did they never check the local pubs limited? Grin

frikadela01 · 18/04/2016 11:14

I agree with worra, it's just modern journalism. You'd have to be an absolute idiot to not use a humongous resource like mumsnet to at least gauge opinions on certain topics.

Cutecat78 · 18/04/2016 11:22

He is such a smug twat.

He is so rude to people who call the show its cringe.

Is Jeremy Edwards on there full time now he never seems to do anything else - I only get to watch on Fridays when I go in late - it's the better of two evils TWS or JK.

Sparklingbrook · 18/04/2016 11:25

I have seen Jeremy Edwards on quite a bit and the terrible Lowri Turner. Plus Janet Ellis, Joe Mangel and loads of other people from Australian soaps and Hollyoaks.

limitedperiodonly · 18/04/2016 11:25

A good landlord never gives you away worra. I used to like clothes shopping or just going home early, but a thirsty colleague on a weekly paper was always going missing.

Best were his tantrums every Thursday morning when the paper came out. Either his story would be the splash but some idiot sub had tampered with it, necessitating an immediate face-to-face apology to his contact, or the story hadn't been given due prominence, which also necessitated an immediate face-to-face apology to his contact. In the pub.

In the run up to Christmas one year he had to have so many meetings with contacts in pubs, all he wrote was a 43-word nib (News In Brief). But it was the most well-researched nib I've ever read.

Waltermittythesequel · 18/04/2016 11:27

2under don't try to so hard to be controversial and people might take you more seriously. There's a dear.

Cutecat78 · 18/04/2016 11:28

Joe Mangel Grin

Cutecat78 · 18/04/2016 11:29

Don't forget Anne Diamond - they wheel her out quite a bit - I don't mind her though.

Sparklingbrook · 18/04/2016 11:29

YY we all need to hear what Joe Mangel thinks of the important issues of the day. Grin

HoneyDragon · 18/04/2016 11:32

They quoted an old thread of Buppers a few weeks ago, so cunting was live on channel 5,so they don't check.

MrsJayy · 18/04/2016 12:23

sparkling you need to let me know next time Anthony costa is on would love to hear his views of the day bless him

Pixienott0005 · 18/04/2016 12:25

Not really otherwise you'd pay Google for everything.

Sparklingbrook · 18/04/2016 12:31

Will do MrsJayy Grin
