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

LowFat · 12/09/2007 17:28

I take it this thread is aimed at those complaining of cliques??

What am I then, I am always after advice, would love to be articulate and sarcastic but rarley manage it. But I never complain about MN!

I always take advice I am given, which is usually to stop being so judgemental and give whatever it is I am rattling about a chance!

Can I stay, or should I start packing

I still think of myself as a newbie though I've probably been here eight months or so, mind you, I keep changing my name which never helps. Franny would like me to stay as MrsCuntingMango but I thought this might offend the wider mnet sensibilities.

kittylouise · 12/09/2007 17:48

Another vote for MrsCuntingMango - excellent name.

doublethelovedoublethekisses · 12/09/2007 17:48

Im a nuby also... This is my first message. Was trying to find a suitable thread to join in with and this seems as good as any!
Mental note to self... Never whine!

Twiglett · 12/09/2007 17:49

LOL at MrsCarrot .. good judgement call
