Oh, and AJ Pritchard and his ? brother are dancing on youtube for something or other.

I was going to throw my bottle of Gin at the telly when it was advertised, but restrained myself.

toooldforsims I am really Angry with you now, will you not even think of my stick insects? Grin

Getting beyond a joke

gordongopherthe3rd · 04/04/2020 21:17

@DrWanker I love you Grin from a distance of course

TooOldForSims · 04/04/2020 21:17

Sorry gordon Blush Sad

We'll make clap for stick insects 11am on Wednesdays.

TheMustressMhor · 04/04/2020 21:17

Yeah, I would clap for cats too.

Just though I'll let you know
YouTheCat · 04/04/2020 21:17

This is my best effort.

JorisBonson · 04/04/2020 21:18

100% behind clapping for cats and all their support during this difficult time.

TooOldForSims · 04/04/2020 21:18

My cat would actually appreciate it a lot more than my kid would.

manicinsomniac · 04/04/2020 21:18

Very cruel responses to a thread posted in good faith by someone who is working hard in very difficult circumstances right now. What a horrible thread!

If you don't want to clap, don't. I don't, particularly, so I won't. But it wasn't totally off base to think that a parenting forum might be a good place to spread news and raise support for this venture. Just because you're not interested there's no need to respond like that.

gordongopherthe3rd · 04/04/2020 21:18

Just make sure you aren't holding them at the time please, I don't want them to get their angel wings.

All these causes need an acronym, I came across a great one in a book the other day - Farmers Against Ridiculous Taxes (campaigning against tax on cows because of their methane emissions)

Foghead · 04/04/2020 21:19

Twerk for teachers.
I don’t know whether to encourage this for hysterical laughs or recoil in horror.
I’m not clapping for my kids. They can clap for me. I work so hard every day, don’t you know.

TheMustressMhor · 04/04/2020 21:21

Just make sure you're not holding them

Yeah, because my cats would really let me hold them. I can't catch the buggers to take to the vets for their jabs, never mind making them join in with a doorstep clapathon.

OhhhPeee · 04/04/2020 21:21

Binge Drink for Bin Men is happening every night in my house until this thing is over.

Escapeistheonlyoption · 04/04/2020 21:22

Which kids? The welsh goats? or all the goats in the world?

TooOldForSims · 04/04/2020 21:22

DS has developed a habit of pointing at the cat and shouting 'doggy!' at her. I think DCat deserves an applause for that alone.

OmgThereAreNoPlanesAboveMeNow · 04/04/2020 21:22

@YouTheCat should make it look real. Like with times and day and song. I think news reports of people twerking on their doorstep will brighten many people's day😂😂😂

#twerk4teachers
Where? Your doorstep!
When? Friday 8PM!
Play #thwerkit by Busta Rhymes.
Let's show our appreciation by shakkkkkkking what we've got!

TheMustressMhor · 04/04/2020 21:22

What a horrible thread

Actually it's cheered me up no end. It is good to be amongst like-minded people.

maddiemookins16mum · 04/04/2020 21:23

Nope, not me.

jadey0891 · 04/04/2020 21:23

Lots of us are working hard. That's actually why I am enjoying the light relief here.

KittyVonCatsworth · 04/04/2020 21:24

Don't worry everyone, we've another 6 weeks of lockdown yet. This new, enthused lust for showing our appreciation for every man, woman, child and dog will die quickly. I think people are naturally looking for commonality in an unusual time but people will very soon start to being insular, introverted, isolated souls as they've always been (which I'm looking forward to, I hate forced bonding / fun).

Publicity?
