Desi

To my shame, I have not read any of it, or much Wilde for that matter but all will be revealed if you get my e-mail addy from the wabbit.

jojosmaman · 22/09/2007 19:50

See! It always turns into private chats! That's my cue to click on last 15 minutes....[yawn emoticon]

Desiderata · 22/09/2007 19:50

Welcome to the fold, Pampam

Don't be scared. You'll learn much here. You'll learn about yourself and others. You might take a bruising every now and again, but if you tell us you're hurting, we'll stick a bandage on and bring your Ovaltine.

Honest, we will ..

Desiderata · 22/09/2007 19:53

jojo, they're not private chats. Not at all. Just jump in there, and you'll be more than welcome!

Do you think we all met at school? Of course not. All of us, at some point, have taken the plunge.

Take the plunge ...

jojosmaman · 22/09/2007 19:56

Thanks Desi (can I call you Desi ) but I am too afraid in case I am ignored or kill the thread! It would rake up some old bad school memories...

Alliebongo · 22/09/2007 20:00

i do like a good old scrap. it's not the same without moggeling

ScottishMummy · 22/09/2007 20:01

old bad school memories...sounds like it rocks wish i had gone there. rather than Saint Scumbags School for Wayward girls

jojosmaman · 22/09/2007 20:06

Oohh Allibongo, I had worse than that, I had the one where the cool girl comes up to you closely and says something like "I really like your hair today" whilst kind of walking towards you so you naturally walk backwards but feel great that the cool girl is talking to you until you find yourself going arse over tit as her right hand witch had crouched down behind you.. cue laughing from the whole quad as cool girl walks off.

But that's all in the past now.. isn't it??!!

Desiderata · 22/09/2007 20:11

Oh, jojo

I will make it my personal responsibility to look after you on threads. You mustn't go through life fearing the playground .. children are cruel. Very cruel. But they don't reflect reality ... so you stay here and make some good points and some good friends

If you're wary, then stick to the specifics, the things you know about. There are cookery threads, arts and crafts threads, all sorts.

But LURK no longer . I've fucked up on here loads of times, but I'm generally forgiven .. providing I'm honest.

Alliebongo · 22/09/2007 20:14

jus' playin jo jo. you were meant to attack me back. I was trying to draw you in to the childish banter

ScottishMummy · 22/09/2007 20:15

hey JoJo no worries i love ya. who wants to be too cool for school when you can be you

stressteddy · 22/09/2007 20:17

If anyone wants to get to jojo they'll have to get through desi and me

Back orrrrrf!

Desiderata · 22/09/2007 20:20

Yep! Anyone who can get between desi and teddy is in for a hard ride.

You post away, girl. You have powerful friends.

lol.

jojosmaman · 22/09/2007 20:23

Aww you guys, I feel much better already.. I even just posted on a breast feeding thread, how hard am I?

stressteddy · 22/09/2007 20:24

yay jojo

tutter · 22/09/2007 20:25

have only read op, but: some rude mner's what?

[innocent]

pampam · 22/09/2007 21:04

can it be a shot of dark rum instead of the ovaltine? That stuff makes me gag....bleurghhhhh. Hot chocolate if it's a school night.

Desiderata · 22/09/2007 21:05

Oh, God yes!!!

3andnomore · 22/09/2007 21:18

To OP...mumsnet, dispite being a more middle class thing, apparently, is one of the most , erm, outspoken forum I have come across...and tbh, it's the charm of it So rudeness is there, of course...but well, don't let it dishearten you!

chipmonkey · 22/09/2007 21:22

I can't tolerate hot chocolate at the moment. Bloody morning sickness. Used to love the stuff!

mytwopenceworth · 22/09/2007 21:31

I prefer to know exactly where I stand, tbh! What I hate, is those who namechange to bitch, so they can go back to chatting with the very people they've maliciously insulted, with no repercussions. That imo, is far far worse than someone who flatly tells you when you're being a twat!

  • I know that's NOT what the op's done, this isn't about the op (hi there oh sensitive OP, btw, if you do stick around, your hide'll thicken to that of a rhino in 6 weeks flat!) but it is on the subject of rudeness!!
iliketosleep · 22/09/2007 22:23

you know what REALLY pisses me off!!! People being called trolls

Not nice branding someone an ugly bastard with bright pink hair that can either swing off ya keychain or get a pencil stuck up yer arse!

chipmonkey · 22/09/2007 22:48

Agree with Mytwopenceworth!

NDPIsProbablyGoingToHell · 22/09/2007 22:54

OP, I do own the place.
