To fuck OFF.

Many examples recently of people appointing themselves thread curator and being rude, annoying and pointy finger ish to other posters who disagree with them.

It annoys me more than it should.

No, drunk husband thread is better avoided.

I love Navy and her straight-talkingness (is that a word?)

Plus she has an excellent taste in canines.

My teens could use some policing tonight. I am losing the will to live.

I think I want to move and start an international sheep recuse service. Those kamakaze sheep are more reasonable than my DS. AND ALL they can do is BLEAT.

YesMadamDeputySpeaker · 26/06/2017 21:25

Raspberry I will happily police your teens for you if you return the favour for my six year old twins. They're currently having a screaming contest. An actual who-can-scream-the-loudest contest.

DS1 (17) has just arrived home to get an early night as we have a very early start in the morning. He is self policing.

SmileEachDay · 26/06/2017 21:31

You are winning at mummying Sparkling.

I am policing myself and am planning the mother of all lessons for my teens tomorrow.

YesMadamDeputySpeaker · 26/06/2017 21:33

You've raised a good 'un there Sparkling

Ooh, what's the lesson?

Sparklingbrook · 26/06/2017 21:35

I keep reminding DS1 that I was off dancing in nightclubs til all hours at 15, and he is letting the side down. It's a bit like an episode of AbFab around here sometimes.

Hoping you mean dogs. Wink

Speaking and Listening Madam

Same with my DS1, and he's only 11. He's a proper little old man already.

SmileEachDay · 26/06/2017 21:37

I am approaching it through the medium of festivals Grin

I might be able to show horn in some FOOS

OP posts:
SmileEachDay · 26/06/2017 21:38

*shoe horn

Not *show horn.

That would be inappropriate Grin

Lweji Wink

Ah, Listening & speaking was always my favourite. Want to swap classes for tomorrow?

Sparklingbrook · 26/06/2017 21:39

i am on a thread about the dirty beggars leaving all that crap at Glastonbury. I have learned that people take 2 tents, one to sleep in and one for a toilet. Eww.

SmileEachDay · 26/06/2017 21:40

why, what do you have?

OP posts:
YesMadamDeputySpeaker · 26/06/2017 21:40

Grin the festival angle sounds fantastic. Are you going to slip some LoneGee in there too? Then again, perhaps Ed will suit the teen audience better.

Sparklingbrook · 26/06/2017 21:42

LoneG, Ed being a bit meh with his loop pedal gizmo and pooey tents. Plus naked man and glittery boobs. It's all there.

YesMadamDeputySpeaker · 26/06/2017 21:42

My 'alcohol is bad kids' cover PSHE class. No need to be suspicious of that at all, no sirree..

Sparklingbrook · 26/06/2017 21:43

'Just say no' as the kids from Grange Hill said. Wink

YesMadamDeputySpeaker · 26/06/2017 21:43

Glittery boobies and poopy tents. Welcome to Britain, 2017.

SmileEachDay · 26/06/2017 21:44

Ah. Yes. The Drunken Hubz lesson.

Yeah.

I might stick to mine actually 😂

Could play then Chic!!

OP posts:
YesMadamDeputySpeaker · 26/06/2017 21:45

Ooh that's a thought. I should put the GH song on. They'd love it

SmileEachDay · 26/06/2017 21:46

Do It!

OP posts:
YesMadamDeputySpeaker · 26/06/2017 21:46

Should I just pull up the Drunken Hubz and make them read through the whole sorry tale?

Actually that may well end up driving them to drink.

An aside, the Drunken Hubz would be an excellent name for a pub. Hmm
