BUNFIGHT HERE

beluga425 · 07/06/2018 14:54

Am I imagining it or are very simple innocuous threads descending into bunfights more frequently.

I cordially invite everyone to ready their flinging buns here instead. Needed are:

  • Someone to police the fight (whilst stirring it up a bit);
  • Grammar police to insure everybodies writing proper (your welcome);
  • Someone to ignore the basic points and totally misinterpret the thread;
  • About 50 posters to find increasingly patronising ways of saying RTFT;
  • Someone to be utterly horrified;
  • Punctuation lessons from those in-the-know;;;;;;;;
-Liberal use of these two: Hmm Confused;
  • and a passive aggressive "Wow, just wow" on page 3.

TheMonkeyMummy · 07/06/2018 17:36

And ...

Cancel the chèque.

(Repeat 20-40 times)

derxa · 07/06/2018 17:36

Should I leave my 2 month year old triplets alone so I can nip across the road to get some buns to throw

itsBritneyBeach · 07/06/2018 17:37

Honestly, you sound like hard work HmmConfusedHmmConfusedHmmConfusedHmmConfusedHmmConfused

I bet you haven't even tried slathering yourself in coconut oil yet - you should, because it solves absolutely everything. Ever.

TheMonkeyMummy · 07/06/2018 17:40

@itsBritneyBeach that really made me giggle.

It is the answer to absolutely everything!

JaneJeffer · 07/06/2018 17:44

You're both wrong. Everyone knows lemon water is the answer to all of life's problems Hmm

MaireadMacSweeney · 07/06/2018 17:44

A bun fight OP? Don't you realise that's cultural appropriation? Cakeism at its worst Hmm

Clionba · 07/06/2018 17:44

Well BustopherJones I'm taking them out of school for 3 weeks because I'm getting married on a beach in a strapless dress so the headteacher can just do one. She had a day off when her parents were killed by terrorists so why can't mine go to my once in a lifetime 4th wedding? Ps we're serving buns at the reception.

FoxyBoxter · 07/06/2018 17:48

With this bun fight in full flow I'm not going to add anything of worth. I'd just like to say, 'not my circus, not my monkeys...' Grin

CraicMammy · 07/06/2018 17:49

Are you ok OP?

no I’m not trying to poke you into feeding my need for vicarious drama, oh no not me, I’m genuinely concerned for you and your buns, I’m concerned, can I have more drama out of the difficult situation in your life please?

Geekynzmum · 07/06/2018 17:50

But what about Maui?????
Oh and don't forget to cancel the cheque!!!! 🙂

Well timed thread OP.
I was just thinking Mumsnet is shite.
Flounces off and looks back to see if anyone is paying attention

itsBritneyBeach · 07/06/2018 17:52

@JaneJeffer there was no need to be so aggressive. I was actually spoken to very rudely by a lady serving lemon water recently 30 years ago and I'd never go back it to it after that. It's very common.

Anniegetyourgun · 07/06/2018 17:55

Mm, buns.

ps I have reported this thread, just because.

JosephineBucket · 07/06/2018 17:55

You sound very young.

tapdancingmum · 07/06/2018 17:56

Haven't read the whole thread but I suggest you log it with 101 (or is it 111) and get a report number so they can find it the next time.

Sashkin · 07/06/2018 17:56

A fight? You should log that with 101. Just to get your ducks in a row for your SHL after you LTB. And change your locks, there’s nothing like unilaterally locking somebody out of their house to make a divorce go smoothly.

Not sure if you have kids or no OP, but if not you should think about adoption.

derxa · 07/06/2018 17:58

I offer my DC buns at every meal. I don't know why they weigh 29 stones each

RatRolyPoly · 07/06/2018 18:01

Ugh, can't believe this thread is still going.

It's the children I feel sorry for.

Pepperypig · 07/06/2018 18:02

You sound horrible OP and I have reported this thread. Have you NC for this - didn't have the guts to have people recognise you eh?

BeyondThePage · 07/06/2018 18:16

MY kids of course, sit nicely with their buns, I don't know why some people don't parent their children, all this petty bun fighting just wouldn't go on if people would only tell their children to sit down properly.

LaDilettante · 07/06/2018 18:24

Too much screen time leads to bun fights. I’d limit iPad, computer and smart phone use to 30 seconds a day if I was you.

ChardonnaysPrettySister · 07/06/2018 18:28

My DD won Junior Bake off at the age of 3 with her signature miso kimchi and maple sirup flavoured buns.

I'm pretty certain all your buns are from Gregs.

Pashazade · 07/06/2018 18:30

But what do I do if they demand buns every time they come round? They're here practically every day I can't so no can I?
