Why not ask their new Director of Programmes @iankatz1000 what his wife's @Justine_Roberts thinks of #Genderquake ? Oh and how is @MumsnetTowers getting on with its feminist purge?

i bet the op is frantically looking at her twitter feed and wondering, "I am sure I tweeted"

I had an I shot JR belt when I was a kid

Feminist purge you say, sounds painful.

Still plenty of feminists in these here hills love. Of the radical kind, Radical means root and we put our roots down deep.

The OP will come back here and wonder how the heck we got from Genderquake to flyfishing (via Wossie with a perm) in the space of about 20 messages!

I'm a feminist! (Spartacus)
I wondered if it was about Hobbits. JRRRRR Tolkein wasn't very feminist though.

I loved Dallas. Was much better than Dynasty

PanPanPanPing · 09/05/2018 08:13

I could never get in to Dynasty.

elQuintoConyo · 09/05/2018 08:16

Damnationi thought this was a Ewing thread too Angry

I preferred Dynasty too - Alexis' outfits were incredible and i fancied the arse off Dex Dexter!

elQuintoConyo · 09/05/2018 08:21

Woof!

OliviaStabler · 09/05/2018 08:29

@elQuintoConyo Me too. Very hot!

cloudtree · 09/05/2018 08:34

everyone fancied Dex. I'm watching the Dynasty reruns atm waiting for him to arrive.

cloudtree · 09/05/2018 08:38

Looking at Southfork now, I do wonder how they all managed to fit in there. It seemed enormous. It's still a big house clearly but its no wonder they were fighting all the time.

PanPanPanPing · 09/05/2018 08:39

I think we need to ask Justine whether she was a Dallas fan or a Dynasty fan.

DevilsDoorbell · 09/05/2018 12:29

Ooh dex dexter. I’d forgotten about him!

PanPanPanPing · 09/05/2018 12:30

cloudtree, ah but Donna and Oh-Raaay lived in that little house on the ranch property, so that cut down the numbers a bit!

FizzyGreenWater · 09/05/2018 12:36

Good God is that Southfork?! It's TEENY WEENY!

You're right no wonder they were all snapping at each others' heels. Who did shoot JR? I've forgotten.

'Feminist Purge' could easily be some kind of cattle draught, much beloved of the Southfork-ers, called into service when ''the gol-durn' fly gotten' into 'em''

FizzyGreenWater · 09/05/2018 12:37

Knots Landing too. The cul-de-sac looks like a wee slice of Milton Keynes:

Sue Ellen’s little sister shit JR, I think. In real life it was Bing Crosby’s daughter.

VanillaSugar · 09/05/2018 12:39

Oh god, shot shot shot.

ChazsBrilliantAttitude · 09/05/2018 12:39

Am I going to get most of the way through the thread and then realise it was all a dream and none of the previous 20 episodes actually happened

DialMforMordor · 09/05/2018 12:40

Didn't it turn out that Kristen shot JR? A character so secondary that even JR had to ask people who'd shot him.

PavlovianLunge · 09/05/2018 12:41

Yes it was Kristen. She ended up face down in the Southfork swimming pool, as I recall.

CanIBuffalo · 09/05/2018 12:42

Is it me or does Trump have that same dead eyed look as JR.
Ewing not Tolkein or Hartley.

GladAllOver · 09/05/2018 12:44

I think it's wonderful when someone jumps into MN to try and stir things up, without knowing what lies in wait for them.

A bit like jumping into the Amazon, not knowing about the piranhas :)l
