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?

Yes. My quote was the headline.

Jenijena · 28/06/2017 22:43

Bastards, they quoted in the mail too. May change my username.

desertmum · 28/06/2017 22:45

I was approached by the Fail years ago after I commented on a thread on here that was about a dear friend of mine - I told them to fuck right off

purplecollar · 28/06/2017 22:46

Just googled myself. No DM quotes but....gasp...

a Purple Collar worker is a term describing someone who sells marijuana for a living.

Well I've learnt something new today!

Albadross · 28/06/2017 22:47

The DM once printed a story claiming I'd 'gone on a drunken rampage in front of Prince Charles'. Hmm

fannydaggerz · 28/06/2017 22:48

I just googled my name and nothing.

frankie001 · 28/06/2017 22:48

Just name searched and I'm also in the sun!!

Here is the fail one

Just googled mine and it turns out it is a place in Germany. Who knew?

Not in daily mail though.

Guiltypleasures001 · 28/06/2017 22:52

Bloody hell im in the telegraph, I've just googled my user name and theirs a few of us in there, in a big write up, I think the date it was written is today as well 😁

Vinorosso74 · 28/06/2017 22:54

Also just googled my user name and I've made the Huffington Post

noblegiraffe · 28/06/2017 22:59

I just googled my username and found 'May we strive not to hide behind our inner Jackal and speak the love languages of the Noble Giraffe within each of us.'

Another site has 'Like the noble giraffe, we put honesty and trust over short-term profit'

Indeed.

Guiltypleasures001 · 28/06/2017 22:59

Umm I think I'll change my user name it's coming up on some very dodgey sites, so glad I've got sky block thingy on.

The Telegraph article was written in 2013

stuntcamel · 28/06/2017 23:05

Nah. Tried several of my doppelgangers - sod all Grin

viques · 28/06/2017 23:06

And did you mailers flaunt your perfect pins and toss your luscious locks over your toned bikini ready bodies. Jezebels the lot of you.

Anyone got a cure for cankles?

Toysaurus · 28/06/2017 23:07

Yes, sadly. Though I still think upstairs flats should NOT have laminate flooring.

thecraftyfox · 28/06/2017 23:07

My grandma's advice to pot the baby at night is quoted in the Mail, Mirror and the Express. Sorry Grandma but I still think that was bonkers advice

ArchieStar · 28/06/2017 23:08

I'm actually a band! Who knew?! Grin

MumGoneCrazy · 28/06/2017 23:10

I googled my username and found someone else using it on Twitter and a fb page with name MumGoneCrazy mn Confused no posts or friends though

IfYouGoDownToTheWoodsToday · 28/06/2017 23:11

I was contacted by a mail journo once, I ignored them and name changed pretty damn quick.

Hate the bastards.

PossumInAPearTree · 28/06/2017 23:12

I've googled my previous username.

Have found a thread on singletrackworld about a MN thread where I'm described as "very feisty".

And an article in the huffington post where I'm quoted slagging off a daily mail journalist.

IfYouGoDownToTheWoodsToday · 28/06/2017 23:13

thecrafty my eldest is 26 and I used to do that with her. It worked, she was out of nappies at night by 2.6 as was dd2.

QueenieMum · 28/06/2017 23:14

One of my threads made the Fail. I was so surprised that something so trivial could end up on there but I suppose they have to fill the online Fail somehow. Even their readers are fed up with so many MN threads being published.

LazyDailyMailJournos · 28/06/2017 23:15

Yes, on more than one occasion. I NC regularly anyway after Jeffrey-gate, but my usernames now are designed to be as unpalatable as possible to lurking Fail journalists.

If someone asked if I minded being quoted, then that would be different. But as I think that Paul Dacre's paper is an Islamophobic, racist, homophobic and misogynistic pile of shite, I can't see a situation where I'd ever want to give the time of day to a Fail journalist.
