to want to post random frivolous crap without being told....

[bohemianbint]

that life's too short?

Or should we only be posting about terribly serious weighty matters like death, famine and pestilence?

yes (or no) what's the question again

blimey, I never post anything but.

My life's full of frivolous crap, in fact so's my house. It's what I do best

oh life's too short for worrying about what people tell you you should be posting about

I loved your bucket thread, if that's what you're referring to. One of the best things about MN is all the little discussions about the minutiae (sp?) of every day life. IMHO, of course.

anyone can post watever they like and should not be got at for doing so too xx

oops are you referring to my iraq orphans thread?

ha, no, nothing to do with orphans! Partly to do with the bucket thraed, but then in general I've noticed on a few random threads about nothing serious people will pop up and say "get a life ffs" or something along those lines, as if things people post are in some way indicative of how a person lives or thinks... What's wrong with chatting about some meaningless crap once in a while as opposed to pouring all your serious stuff all over people all the time?!

Rant over!

I love talking about meaningless crap especially over a glass of wine or two.

What is worse is posting inane replies complaining about inane posts, talk about a dichotomy of inanity!

Yo Boho

After one whole month on Mumsnet, I have come to the conclusion that we should ONLY post on frivolous and crappy issues.

Every time there is a Heated Debate about serious issues - things kick off.

If you want to post frivolous crap, it is absolutely fine IMO, as long as it is not in one of the more serious sections.

Oo I love the crappy ones.
More my level

Perhaps change the chat section to be called crap instead?

I'm dealing with the death and pestilence stuff all day. I need frivolous crap to take my mind off it

Love it chocolate, think we could set up a pointless petition to get some kind of "random crap" section? Who's with us?

Random crap & Frivolous Crap

Two Seperate topic titles I think

Of course even the frivolous crap can kick off. Was expecting at any moment your bucket thread would turn into a SAHM/WOHM row.

frivolous crap!

I am a pledged frivolous crap only poster. Did serious and argy bargy, just made me cross and wound up.

I have been in nonsence heaven the last few weeks 'seriously' discussing sponge recipes and cup cake decoration.

Now we're doing an afternoon tea for one.
All welcome.

Oh, oh, Kathy, look, the SAHM argument has kicked off! How predictable, yet fascinating that people assume so much about fellow MNers based on not a hell of a lot......

Ah....it's a joke......
