admittedly, ive only been a member for a few months, but i have come to this conclusion. take today for instance. the main topic of conversation on this section is; parents of 5 year olds worried about which senior school to go to? on that thread is the biggest bore & snob you will ever have the misfortune to meet. this popular thread is closely followed by mums worried about whats in their kids packed lunch? mums get a life! im off for a fag.

A lot of powerful emotion, DT.

OK. I'm a bog cleaner. I'll admit I'm at the bright end of the spectrum .. but of course you don't have to be middle class to understand and create poetry.

Quite the opposite, really, if you look at the reality of creativity. It is usually born of hunger (spiritual or actual).

To me, middle class means: Fred Perry polo necks, golf, 4x4, and dinner parties. I score a big Zero on all four ... although I'm veering towards the polo neck in order to hide my turkey neck

I have just been scanning this thread from start and admit maybe the poster could of put her op in a more thoughtful way and maybe discussed her issues but I could tell by reading her op that she sounded fed up, angry, a sense of disbelief of the trivia of whats going on around her and in the world etc.How did some people respond, by taking the piss, picking the bones of the op and then back slapping with each other and I agree with Haychee,ganging up.Mumsnet is supposed to be supportive.Some people were nice,WiltedRose, Haychee to name but a few but some were not-Aitch who told her to f*off I don't think telling anyone where to go is being supportive BUT later on she apologised and has gone onto be more supportive.WanderingTrolly's comments were hilarious and I LOL but this was maybe not the time to showcase this kind of humour, imo.I think it is difficult to sense how poeple Feel when you dont hear their voice of if you cant get a handle on their humour, sarcasm works well on here but not everybody 'gets it'. IMO, maybe that old sarcasm thing, showcasing each others humour needs to chill a little and we need to focus on supporting each other and being a little bit nicer and more compassionate.

Real creativity often comes from experiencing pain.

Yes, the pain of chopping up a well-fed, middle-class turd with (one of their) butter knives, and wondering where it all went wrong

UnquietDad · 24/09/2007 23:14

There once was a middle-class bore
Who kept an immaculate drawer,
Of Le Creuset and crockery,
For she, despite mockery,
Was a chef and a maid and a whore.

I can't believe this is still going!

StarryStarryNight · 24/09/2007 23:14

pain or glee?

We from the high middle classes still take it hard up our arses,
we may feel quite queer at the thought of a beer,
but a line of coke no lady passes.

VeniVidiVickiQV · 24/09/2007 23:16

UCM there is a thread shouting for you

and has been for 24 hours.....look lively, eh?

UCM · 24/09/2007 23:17

LL you dirty cow, I have told you about kissing everyone, you will catch fat for gods sake.

domestictechnician · 24/09/2007 23:17

unquietdad- i bow down...not in a rude way...

UCM · 24/09/2007 23:18

Oh dear, where

haychee · 24/09/2007 23:18

cheeset
marvellous, sheer brilliance.

LL
there is reguarly a thread like this on here because the issue exists. Newbies post and get slaughtered, by gangs. Sorry but it doea happen.

Desiderata · 24/09/2007 23:18

Well, it's glee, obviously. It is their butter knife, after all.

The jury can remain out on whether I put it back washed ...

VeniVidiVickiQV · 24/09/2007 23:20

Slaughtered by gangs?

Is this another MM-style conspiracy?

Please - no more talk of arses....i'm wincing......

cheeset · 24/09/2007 23:20

littlelapin, sorry bout the block!

Better?!

Maybe there is a thread like this on a regular basis,and as you mention it's almost ALWAYS from someone who has never posted before. Maybe because they have never posted before! It's new to them and maybe they are fencesitters taking it all in and one day they just BLOW! Hence the reaction.

We are all different, if someone is a little angry with me(it doesnt happen alot, honest!), I wouldn't retalliate as some people did to poster, i'd work out what the problem was.We do that as parents with our kids don't we?

I have so much time for people, I'm not wet or a mug, just really truly believe we need to be more understanding, compassionate.

domestictechnician · 24/09/2007 23:21

Locked in a turret and under a spell,

Illicitly dreaming but sleeping well,

Subconscious thoughts suddenly refining;

A silver knight with broadsword shining

On a turbo-upgraded Italian steed,

Heart and head full of lustful greed

He came and stormed her forgotten tower,

Opened her up and pleasured her flower,

Her heart was molten how could he fail,

Top-to-toe the latest chain mail.

She was sleeping, lost without direction

But he woke her up with his divine erection,

Virginity lost and chastity plundered

?ha ha, I?ve won!? the horny knight thundered,

The maiden looked troubled she felt like a whore,

She cried ?ohmygod, have you done this before??

?so many times I?ve almost lost count

But you were the best without a shadow of doubt.

And now that I?ve done you, you?ll be my queen

Polish my armour and be perpetually obscene.

The dragon was slain, the maiden he won

The rest of their lives had barely begun.

The maiden signed a water tight contract,

Her tower converted; three luxury flats.
