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?

Holy fuck, I'm in the fail and the sun

I actually feel quite queasy

A couple of of my posts got included in The Daily Shite Mail once.

It was a thread about over-usage of tumble dryers and doing uber amounts of washing.

So cue lots of "Do you not wash your socks every five minutes??" and "I use my tumble dryer 20 times a day because I can!!".

And the other end of the spectrum "I only change my pants once a year!!" and "I only own a mangle and a wash board and I dry my clothes on a nearby hedge".

I got a bit aerated about wasted energy...

I've been on the telly! One of my threads under another name was discussed on a certain show at length.

It was very weird.

Place marking, battery flat.

YOU - each and every one of you - are CUNTS and VIPERS

wonders how to know if you've made it in the media, and how you'd find out

is there money to be made??

will I have to go topless?-

I could do that

how to hide my jealousy and bitterness????

taking t-shirt off now to see how that feels

Googled my MN user name.

The bloody Fail has apparently been quoting it indiscriminately all over the shop for years, with neither my permission nor knowledge.

You could say I'm hacked off.

I appeared in a feature 16 years ago after giving birth to dd. It was my real name & photograph

I was on a different parenting forum at the time & the journalist who made the appeal said she was freelance. She rang me & carried out a phone interview.

It was printed in a parenting magazine as well as the mail - they bore zero resemblance to each other!!!

I've been in it...but I can't google myself due to similarity to morphine.

I think I'm happier not knowing.

I've been in a few. The BBC quoted me out of context. I was being sarcastic and they quoted me straight. Which frankly doesn't surprise me as they are getting worse and worse and appear to hate women. Just not as obviously as the Fail.

I think we should all get paid for the sterling work we do.

I've been quoted in the DM it appears after a brief Google, in the same article as Barbara of Seville about cleaning tips.

Yes, quite regularly. I also made it into quite a few others, from huffngton post on.

Apparantly my " is that it?" comment after corbyns webchat abruptly ended summed it up nicely for them all,,,,,😂

I googled my username. As you can imagine, It came up many times, but not in relation to anything I've said.

I've been in the DM, Sun, Star, Mirror, Huffpost and then it was reshared by a few bloggers on Facebook. I was spectacularly outed due to the Facebook sharing and MNHQ very kindly namechanged all my previous threads retrospectively. I cried for days. Sensitive soul that I am

Lesson learned. If you post a sensitive subject on here, namechange so you can't be identified by previous posts and change non important details.

Oh and pray that lazy fucking journalists will crawl back under the rocks whence they came and let the actual news get a look in once in a while.

I don't think I've been quoted in the Fail or anywhere else

My opinion of them is very very low but IN THIS SINGLE INSTANCE (!) they actually did write what was going on

Had a similar experience with them. Don't like them but they contacted me to do a story about my brother, flew over to me and everything and the article was actually really well-written and the journalist that interviewed me was lovely and has been quite helpful when other media requests have come.

The Sun on the other hand... they asked to use the story, I said no, and they stole it anyway. The bastards!

Omg! Not a paper but my username comes up on a few sites.

I made the Fail! This is the most famous I've ever been!

www.google.com.au/amp/www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-3894764/amp/Mother-receives-harsh-responses-asking-serve-family-food-s-SEVEN-YEARS-date.html

Seriously, I can't believe someone got paid to "write" that.

as it would seem no-one on MN reads the Fail and hate it with a passion how do you know you have been quoted? Are you all secret Fail readers?

I feel a bit left out now.
Although I was very proud that my question to Corbyn made the mumsnet pre-chat press release.
not that he bloody answered it

desertmum according to the journalist I spoke to mumsnet is part of their key demographic! (I did ask her why they keep stealing threads but didn't get a satisfactory answer on that)

Wow can't believe they get paid to so called write this stuff. I've not been mentioned with previous name but so much copy paste it's crazy

That is the galling thing jayne - they cannot even be arsed to somehow write an article - they literally just copy and paste and stick a shitty title on it and add the words 'furious backlash' somewhere in the opening gambit. Sheesh! The fuckers.

Well I have been sitting by my phone ever since they printed the article and no one has got in touch with me about being in the new Big Brother line up

Some of these comments really have made me laugh though. Absolutely brilliant!

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

I hope there are some words missing from that sentence.

My stomach went funny then! I started a thread about freezer food before because I was going to cook very old frozen out of date food!

iwasjustabout

I wonder if the Dm will write an article about this thread. It would be hilarious and unrecognisable (their favourite words)I love the DM and read it religiously, such fine journalism :) *desperate attempt to get quoted in said paper
