So, James obrian super liberal jumps on instead of the mail lol

damepeanutbutter · 11/05/2016 12:15

mumsnet just got a mention! Says the threads on here can be fascinating. And has read the thread about him!

Akire · 11/05/2016 12:16

"cancel the cheque was mentioned " aye once or twice :)

silverpenny · 11/05/2016 12:17

As vardy said above this story was doing the round a few years ago, of course it could have happened twice?

Lweji · 11/05/2016 12:19

BTW, I found some Brazilian news where the bride complained on FB (!) that their best man/bridesmaid didn't give enough as a wedding present.
Yes, there are people like this.

Liiinooo · 11/05/2016 12:26

What is all this 'naming and shaming'? Nonsense. No-one has been named. The only people who can do that are the OP, Mrs Indiscreet and the happy couple. No-one else knows. I am sure Puzzled won't name - she seems far too classy. I don't the HC will out themselves. That just leaves Mrs Indiscreet.......

DuckAndPancakes · 11/05/2016 12:28

Maybe Mrs Indiscreet will take a sad face photo?
Or maybe a happy grinning one of "fuck you, ya grabbing bastards!"

Seeyounearertime · 11/05/2016 12:28

Where is the previous story from a few years ago?
I'd like to read it.

SymphonyofShadows · 11/05/2016 12:37

Did someone say that MNHQ were going to comment about the DM etc? Have they done that anywhere yet?

LupoLounger · 11/05/2016 12:38

Best sound-bite ever from LBC

"Divorced from the ExW...due to her wife liking other men's appendages"

LOL! Horrible situation and of course one-sided (maybe) but what a way with words!

Couple more copies of this might get sold today...

MissBattleaxe · 11/05/2016 12:39

I found this link to a blog on Twitter. This story is going viral! I wonder if Greedzilla has seen any of this yet? www.the-pool.com/life/life-honestly/2016/19/is-it-ever-reasonable-to-demand-a-bigger-wedding-present

LupoLounger · 11/05/2016 12:39

typo: "...due to the wife..."

MTPurse · 11/05/2016 12:40

ITV News now Hmm

MTPurse · 11/05/2016 12:41

With an actual link to this thread.

DerelictDaughter · 11/05/2016 12:43

I bet all that investigative journalism training is going into a Mail writer finding out who the B+G are so they can print the other side of the story tomorrow Grin
(With accompanying sad face photo)

Lweji · 11/05/2016 12:44

That huffpost story is even worse. They threaten that they'll also only give $100 back as a wedding present. Charming.

Lweji · 11/05/2016 12:44

with the title
"we've been shamed by an anonymous post on MN"

JenniferYellowHat1980 · 11/05/2016 12:45

So hoping the bride and groom have recognised themselves from any one of the many sources reporting on this now 😄 That one came back to bite them on the bum, and of course indiscreet friend can be relied upon to ensure the wedding guests know their real identity!

ScreenshottingIsNotJournalism · 11/05/2016 12:46

I guess none of my posts were witty enough to make the cut Hmm
Wonder why? Grin

bubblegurl252 · 11/05/2016 13:18

Lol it's on the radio here now, and I quote "what happened to the times when you could buy someone a toaster? £12"

bubblegurl252 · 11/05/2016 13:23

It's actually being used as the advertisement quote for their breakfast show

ThumbWitchesAbroad · 11/05/2016 13:24

Yeah, that Huff Post story isn't exactly the same, is it. Just because it has the figure 100 in and a grabby bride, it's not the same story.
