NC (name changed as I don't want this to be outing)

A rhythmless man at church has said he wants to put on a concert to raise some money for shoeless orphans. We shall call him A.

A said to B that they have money to help. B said that the last concert raised some issues but would support them none the less.

C said she didn't want to be forgotten.

Who is BU?

Ok Nowhere, I've rtft now and am far too invested in the whole debacle. Will you please update us on where everyone stands? Will it be a Christmas show? Or are you waiting until Easter?
I have no idea what I would do in your shoes, but I have family who are involved in music in their church and the drama is indeed real.

I'd rather not expand for various reasons (my DH pointed out that some of the responses I received didn't really make sense or relate to the op. I also felt some posters were perhaps making fun of me. Although that could just be me reading the context incorrectly) hope you understand. I can pm you with more information regarding the performance if you wish. It's always lovely to make friends online.

Your op didn't make any sense which would explain why other posters posts didn't. 🙈

Nowhereishere · 09/10/2018 22:03

sidesplittinglol
Fantastic tongue twister there!

Ironfloor269 · 09/10/2018 22:13

Is this a reverse? Is OP actually A, B and C?

Nowhereishere · 09/10/2018 22:14

iron no thank you.

Does anyone know how long it takes for MNHQ to respond?

SylvesterTheCat · 09/10/2018 22:17

"OP" you've invigorated this thread by asking mnhq to delete it!

Nowhereishere · 09/10/2018 22:19

thecat

OK, thank you for your statement. How else can I get in touch with MNHQ for them to take it down?

WhatchaMaCalllit · 09/10/2018 22:29

Sweet mother of god how did I miss this thread when it started originally? It's pure gold.

OP - I think C is unreasonable for simply wanting to be ignored. No one should want to be ignored. It either happens or it doesn't. They just don't get to pick.

As for the rest of it, I'm sorry but I thought the play on words Tena/Tenor was genius and the suggestion to stay near the font, just in case...oh my! My pelvic floor can't take much more of this!

Namechangeforthiscancershit · 09/10/2018 22:31

No no no no deletey!

Fridaydreamer · 09/10/2018 22:37

@Nowhereishere

You don’t get it. I realise that. But we’ve all moved on and yet you keep up with the comedy gold GrinGrinGrinGrinGrin

Nowhereishere · 09/10/2018 22:38

watcha at the risk of being controversial, the product "tena lady" is usually (but not exclusively) used by females. Tenor refers to the males vocal range. So in fact, there is no joke. You are laughing over nothing. One might even go so far as to suggest that you might want to use a "tena lady" if your pelvic floor is as loose as your morals. Good night to you.

Namechangeforthiscancershit · 09/10/2018 22:55

Did OP just call Whatcha a loose woman? This thread just gives and gives

SandAndSea · 09/10/2018 23:40

OP, you're in luck! There's a mil on another thread who steals shoes. You never know, she might have a stash of them. Is it wellies you're after?

SerenDippyEggs · 10/10/2018 00:07

This thread is pure gold.

SylvesterTheCat · 10/10/2018 06:47

OP you told @Namechangeforthiscancershit you were going to post a flyer on here but I can't see any!!! I would also like to know where we can buy tickets.

WhatchaMaCalllit · 10/10/2018 10:24

@Namechangeforthiscancershit - I think (s)he did call me a loose woman. Unfortunately I'm not, nor do I appear on the television in said programme.

@Nowhereishere and @nowayishere - I am fully conversant in the names associated with singing ranges. If you cannot see how there is a play on words going on there, well, in my opinion the situation is utterly hopeless.

Parpulous · 10/10/2018 12:46

Oh please don't delete this. We still haven't heard what the OP has to say about the bats' impending performance in the nativity!!!

This thread has got me through a tough week Grin

Nowhereishere · 10/10/2018 16:26

watcha I am sorry for my rude comment. It was wrong of me to judge you. I am under rather a lot of stress currently but than certainly doesn't excuse my behaviour.
I do agree though the whole situation is utterly hopeless. I am at a loss at how to get MNHQ to respond to my request.

Conseulabananahammock · 11/10/2018 19:00

Absolutley howling here !!! I feel like I've been roofied!
Anyone know what happened the the penis beaker?

yourchoicemoses · 11/10/2018 19:59

@mnhq please can you respond to my request?

yourchoicemoses · 11/10/2018 20:09

And yes, I have named changed again incase that confuses anyone.

yourchoicemoses · 11/10/2018 20:25

"mumsnet, oh mumsnet stop ignoring me.
Mumsnet, oh mumsnet, please can you delete."

(to the tune of the interlude when figaro is about to marry Susanna and the count and countess arrive, sing along if you know it! Pom, Pom, Pom, Pom, Pom, Pom, puh-Pom, Pom, puh-pom.... And so on....

yourchoicemoses · 11/10/2018 20:25

From the marriage of figaro.

HotSauceCommittee · 11/10/2018 20:31

All I can say is, if you put John Cooper Clarke into the mix, what do you expect?
