I just saw a thread where someone admitted to watching tv ( ITV no less) in the day.

OP posts:

You could certainly proclaim them to be an impostor on threads, @VladmirsPoutine, to ensure people don't think it's nc you.

Lots of people nc in this way, prevents easy searching whilst letting people know which poster you were before.

POUTINE is one word and PUTIN is another

aye.

GOADY and FUCKER are two more.

Did uou not know or did you do it on purpose

WTF?! Does anyone pay any attention whatsoever to usernames?!

There’s about 6 names I recognise and I’ve been here forever.

People will admit to anything on MN. Remember the Sistine Screamer

I nearly wet my pants in the Sistine Chapel once. Not because I was overcome by the art, but because I'd had una birra grandi (spellings changed to protect the Italian) with lunch. Does that count?

Your Op made me laugh, it reminded me of a conversation I was having with a new BF (we both were born in the mid 60's) and I was talking about certain tv shows I had seen, when he stopped me and said, I was only allowed to watch BBC so hadn't any knowledge of the ones I was discussing.

Fucking yogurt has a lot to answer for these days.

And I mentioned 'cunt for the butter' the other day on another thread and no-one commented! Shock

I bought leggings at Walmart Shock and realised that the own brand Walmart leggings were $2.50 cheaper than the 'Active Lifestyle' Walmart ones, but the same fucking product!

So I bought the cheap ones of course.

LovesMaltesers · 13/04/2018 16:14

I dunno - I've just seen a thread titled "Private woodland management"..

I think that's a euphemism for a Lady Garden. Wink

Do you allow ketchup on the table?
Only with fish and chips.

Are cake forks considered naff now? I really like eating cake with proper cake forks, it stops my fingers from getting sticky. Oh well, I sound MC, but look like a bag lady & come from hardy working class stock. And I am not giving my cake forks up for no-one, see.

Dancingleopard · 13/04/2018 16:20

I think it still leans towards middle class. A thread I was on this morning screamed of it.

Banterlope · 13/04/2018 16:20

I have a lavatory brush in each of my WCs and I decant my Asda brown sauce. So you're wrong Confused

Tinkobell · 13/04/2018 16:20

Does anyone know where one might source some organic caperberries.....I need them to go with my tempered olives?!! 😬

KaliforniaDreamz · 13/04/2018 16:21

Ketchup in the fridge but butter in the larder. My God, who am i...

KaliforniaDreamz · 13/04/2018 16:22

Banterlope i am not sure those things should go together in one sentence haha

Flippetydip · 13/04/2018 16:23

Nobody ever believes me when I say I wasn't allowed to watch ITV as a child. Even my parents deny it now.

I'm definitely first generation MC though.

Quality post though vlad. I'm not entirely sure why people are getting so over-excited about usernames. I NEVER notice usernames - other than one or two, and then wonder why they haven't got anything better to do in life than post every living moment on MN.

sirlee66 · 13/04/2018 16:28

I'm terribly sorry, I couldn't hear you all whilst my organic avacado was ripening naturally on the window sill. (Planning to have it with a quinoa and kale salad.)

Elendon · 13/04/2018 16:29

I wasn't allowed to watch ITV as a child. My mum, a widow, now watches it non stop and is a Corrie addict. Good on her I say!

She HATES bbc2
