DailyFail Famous!

[KrayKray00]

My comment got printed in the Daily Fail from a AIBU thread!

I now feel like a Z-Lister. So cool, so famous.

And I can't even tell anyone, DH is wondering what I am looking so smug about but I shall not tell him...I will not let my love addiction to AIBU on Mumsnet be revealed.

Have you ever been in the Daily mail because of a mumsnet post?

This thread has just made me t'internet search my user name - I am not associated with the blog of the same name set up by someone in the late noughties

I made The Times once . I was both elated and appalled. Back before there was a sex topic, when there was much debate as to whether there should be a sex topic, they quoted my explanation as to why people felt there shouldn't be one - I alluded to pervy weirdos from all across the internet congregating on Mumsnet, and that's the bit they quoted. But I was taking the piss - I was actually in favour of a sex topic. Now I can't even see the quote because of the bastard firewall.

beat this then

an article mentioning my dirty nick clegg fantasies

I've been quoted twice that I know of, about saving money on groceries and household tips about frozen citrus fruit for G&Ts. I don't know whether to feel dirty or quite proud.

My very first Mumsnet thread start got in the Mail last week. I'd said I was probably BU for being mildly irked, but they printed that I was in a rage!

I have. I changed my name immediately!

I've been in the Daily Fail because they printed something I tweeted and it was a fucking nightmare. Men's rights advocates came out of the woodwork to call me a feminazi and tried to pick fights with me. They lost.

a family member was in the mail and other papers and I had a reporter turn up to get the inside scoop.

I pointed out I would sit in my own shit on the hottest day of the year then talk to them.

I've been in the daily mail because I've written articles for them....nothing MN related though I swear!

I've been in the Mail and the Express - they picked up a (single issue) environmental campaign I was involved with and were the only papers to come and interview me in person - My opinion of them is very very low but IN THIS SINGLE INSTANCE (!) they actually did write what was going on - I do understand it must have been because it fitted with their own skewed views of the world, but it made a good headline for us and actually got the campaign some help . And NO it was not anything horrible or fascist or anti muslim or immigrants or anything - think a very worthy environmental cause which is supported by many left leaning people who the Mail etc hate :)

I was amazed tbh but good coverage was welcome at the time.
Tbh I do feel grubby just by association, now - this was many years ago!

And hell would freeze over if they ever approached me now! Regardless of how worthy a cause it was! Bunch of total utter shits.

No Fail fame here, but I just googled myself to check and apparently I made the Talk Round Up when I 'piped up reassuringly'.

Not sure how i feel about that tbh...

Yep. I think I was called something like a "shocked mother". I was neither. They missed the point of the thread spectacularly.

I've not, Pink News (gay news website, in case you can't guess/don't know) did throw their toys out of the pram about a thread I started, because they assumed that 'mums' talking about homosexuality must be being homophobic. It was a proud moment.

They seem to be a bit lost without phone hacking.

Not sure if I have been quoted (feel famous just saying that ). But have definitely been on threads that have been printed in the media.

hanger onner

I'm not controversial enough. Google my username and all you get is the Stereophonics song from whence it came!

Oh my god - I just vanity googled and I am there in the fail too! I am famous.

Hassled I was quoted in The Sunday Times once but they didn't post my user name. I was very excited then had to pretend it was nothing because it wasn't something I wanted my DC to read .

No, but one of my threads were stolen by The Wright Stuff as a talking point. What a knobend that man is.

I've just googled myself and I ended up with a load of cake recipes

Channel 5 tracked me down and asked me to go on the Matthew Wright show. I said no.

OG I have just googled my username and I am a swinger living in Spain apparently - off to name change

Not in the Fail, but one of my tweets was quoted in the Express once. It was a comment about shirtless Aidan Turner in the TV adaptation of And Then There Were None.
