To mourn for the days when we were a nest of vipers

Instead of our current tendency to be more like a barrel full of drunk angry Honeybadgers that have suddenly decided they do give a fuck after all.

Are you looking for a fight or harking back to days of yore?

Sparkletastic · 22/06/2016 18:46

Yeah. Me too. You knew where you were when it were all viperish.

TrippyMcTrapFace · 22/06/2016 18:49

YANBU.

AlistairSim · 22/06/2016 18:51

I do fondly remember the days when you didn't have to proof read your posts to the extreme so that you didn't inadvertently give the wrong impression, use incorrect grammar/spelling etc.

sigh

I very much HATE the arrival of "lighthearted"

In them olden days, I was trusted to recognise when something was funny.

Sparkletastic · 22/06/2016 18:55

Better class of trolls back in the day too

ThatsMyStapler · 22/06/2016 19:02

I've only been here a couple of years, but I hate 'lighthearted'

FucksSake · 22/06/2016 19:04

I'm relatively new (compared to some) and even I think it's got a bit shite over the past 18 months or so.

I have a fucking good troll-dar now, though.

I'm pissed off that offering an honest [not a goady fucker ] answer gets the Shock faces turning up telling you you're an arse and you should Hmm be fucking ashamed.

BillSykesDog · 22/06/2016 19:07

I remember when all this wut trees, and the big house paid for your Christening and your funeral and looked after you cradle t' grave. Eee, them were the days.

MrsSpecter · 22/06/2016 19:07

I saw a thread yesterday where a poster clarified in the OP (because she knew it would be asked) that she had asked parent of children she was supervising about allergies etc before feeding them and that the children were playing age appropriate games.

MN is no more. Its a different place now.

jayho · 22/06/2016 19:11

oh fuck off you slaggy cunts

jayho · 22/06/2016 19:11

(lighthearted)

MadameCholetsDirtySecret · 22/06/2016 19:13

It has changed and not for the better sadly.

In fairness I have seen this happen on other forums as well. Perhaps it is how they evolve.

I miss cubes of poo, cutted up pear and your minge. 😓

I loathe Lighthearted with a passion. I'm going to start prefixing my threads with Really Fucking Deadly Serious Shit.

I also hate the way some smartarses dive upon the most tedious incidental detail of some posts and twist them into absolute bonkers nonsense.
I also hate how some posters are like the fucking Candyman and arrive on certain themed threads with alarming fucking predictability.
I never thought I'd hark for the good old days of a creepy yoni massage from Brian.

thedogdaysareover · 22/06/2016 19:21

Oh don't worry, from a newbie's perspective there is still the odd occasion when you come across as a bunch of relentlessly cold-hearted bastards. Cheers to the fucken lot of you! Wine

Take heart OP Grin

jayho · 22/06/2016 19:22

Actually, Honey, looking at your posting history you seem to have an issue with history. Thinking of a recent thread you posted on, you're displaying some worrying character traits.

^^ this is what I hate, the fucking forensic thread police.....

HoneyDragon · 22/06/2016 19:37

Read jahos post three times

Also is your name and intention ploy to get The Pussycat Dolls Jai Ho ear wormed firmly to all who read it?

Or is it just a happy cunty side effect?

Fuck me, if that's the case then owning Hullygully means I'm prepared for an small army of tiny drink Oliver Reeds and Brian Blesseds to stagger out my chuff into a shiny bright new dawn.

Sorry but I cannot make head nor tail of what you're trying to say in your OP, there's no punctuation in it, perhaps you can add some then I'll stop pretending I don't know what it means
"Lighthearted"
