MN clique

[TickTickBoomBoom]

I'm a regular poster, and have name changed for this.

Is it just me, or does there seem to be a clique here? Some people's posts always get answered and they seem like a happy friendly little group. If you're 'new' or haven't posted that much, you pretty much get ignored.

I enjoy reading the posts, and I enjoy posting, but this 'exclusivity' is really getting to me. This is supposed to be a place people can come with their problems/jokes etc, and to feel like some people are 'left out' kinda defeats the object IMHO.

It's Benylin for me. Instant vom, even the thought

Ugh pripsen. Grew up in a house full of animals, including 5 cats, that always had worms.

We had a 'therapeutic' dose of pripsen every MONTH.

That's almost as bad Katie

I only ever liked calpol

Every month?!!! Fucking hell

Cod liver oil, out of a huge sticky bottle...
I still take it now, thank goodness for capsules.

I like Benylin, but I don't like Jaggerbombs and they taste a bit like Benylin. Weird.

Liking benilyn

My husband had an allergic reaction to Pripsen. Not serious or life threatening. But was amusing to watch his face going up and down like a week old ballon being squished.

We never had pripsen

We did have Kaolin and Morphine for upset tummies - it was like pale clay in a bottle with clear liquid on the top. Bottle to be shaken before spooning into chops.

What was Milk of Magnesia for? We had a bottle of that.

Constipation Sparkling

Indigestion Sparkers.

The mention of Pripsen makes me shudder.

Was it? My Mum always had Senokot in the first aid box too. we must have been bunged up as a family.

Mmmm anyone else remember Virol?

Sparklers that was for indigestion or if you'd had Too Much Excitement (a party, been to the fair, that kind of thing)

I thought MoM was a remedy for indigestion , apologies.

Nope to Virol, what was that?

We had Minadex liquid, a sort of tonic. Bleurgh!

I like seeing names I recognise on threads. It makes me feel like I 'know' them in a wierd way. I name change a lot so I'm sure my NN isn't recognised, but I am more of a reader than a contributer mostly anyway.

I've been here about 12 years ()

There used to be lots of waving and obvious in-jokes. OTOH it was a warmer , wittier place where women got real support instead of a corporatised, Daily Fail fodder-generating, trolltastic forum - like the rest of the Internet.

I suppose it can be used for indigestion... if your cure is the contents of your stomach exploding out your bum.

Uugh, I can still taste milk of magnesia. What was it for?

Calmed indigestion and stomach acid in this house when I was a nipper, in the days before Gaviscon.

Virol was a malt extract supplement, loved the taste of it, and used to sneak into the pantry with a teaspoon, and eat it out of the jar.

Did it taste like Horlicks, Niffler?

A bit, yes. It was sort of malty sweet brown gloop. I wish they still made it, it was delish.
