to suggest that newcomers to this site should stop farkin' whining

[Twiglett]

gawd .. we all have children you know, I think our ability to deal with whinging is used up there

I can think of a number of 'newcomers' who hit the ground running and almost immediately gained 'oldie' status .. Boco and LittleLapin immediately spring to mind but I know there are more

They came on the site articulate, intelligent, empathetic, amusing and slightly sarcastic

that's what mn is about

we don't tend to be tabloid

either you like it here or you don't .. but you're adults .. grow up and join in and quit farkin' whinging

[numptysmummy]

Sorry,poorly aren't i? Does getting a bollocking count? Or should i slope off and start a whingeing thread?

[ProjectIcarusinhercar]

Of course I meant oldie as in time served, why Twig you look so young I was wondering if you had had a little work done?

[numptysmummy]

Is age and time served the same then?

[onlyjoking9329]

well we all need to w(h)ine now and again

[Twiglett]

have you phoned the doctor yet numpty?

oh ver' good onlyjoking .. LOL

[onlyjoking9329]

Where have you been Twig?

[numptysmummy]

Erm,no.Will go to walk in surgery in morning when i have no kids clinging to my legs.

[ProjectIcarusinhercar]

No. Age and time served are not the same thing, which was totally clear in your post and not in mine. My post should have read.

[Twiglett]

international life of mystery and intrigue.. I could tell you but then I'd have to have you imprisoned on trumped-up charges I'm afraid

[BIWI]

Oh god Twiglett - now I have this vision of you sitting there with a judge's wig on, glasses and a gavel looking really, really fierce!



Oh, and this is my new name - I'm not really new - been here a year honour

[ProjectIcarusinhercar]

clearly i would fail the articulate test

[BIWI]

your honour

See - even know I have to correct my mistakes!

[onlyjoking9329]

Prison sounds good, food & sleep

[bundle]

[numptysmummy]

Apology accepted

[oliveoil]

I have 3 friends

hahahahaha

[oliveoil]

I don't post on FB, just look for people in a stalking fashion

[bundle]

i'm one of your mates olive

it's not the friends i'm unimpressed by, just facebook

it's a bit like hardwork

'we don't tend to be tabloid'

You mean you don't tend to be tabloid and you don't like mn when it is.

Speak for yourself, Twiglett. I like the diversity, range of opinions and experience and find all that in-joke stuff really boring.

Sounds like you're whinging...

[ScottishMummy]

maybe a MN citizenship test id required learn the language and acronyms (that's me fecked then)

ahhemmm my fave are
fanjo
norks

[oliveoil]

I know you are (blanket?)

lemme have you MN contacts

[gomez]

Bur CSD do the 'Oldies' have to undertake refresher courses in in the same subjects? Would only be fair I feel...

[Of course requirement to test is based on volumes of posts in which case a number of MNetters are of course exempt.]

[Twiglett]

actually chocchip no that's not what I meant at all .. I meant that we don't tend, or didn't tend, to sensationalise, trivialise and demarcate on middle-england lines as per the tabloids

I don't like MN when it is stupid and crass personally .. that does not mean I am not either stupid or crass it merely means I don't like to spend my time around stupid and crass people

[Twiglett]

which old guard are whinging .. have you slapped 'em?
