Hands up, I am a boring person.
My life is a bit dull and I don't really do many interesting things on a daily basis. My dh is nice and normal, my dc are lovely and have no health problems and my family are on the right side of crazy. We have a boring car, go on boring holidays and have boring friends (whom I love, btw!).

So what??

If I want to post a thread asking how to get stains out of my Le Creuset, I am bl**dy well going to do it no matter what anyone says. If I had a more interesting life then I might ask advice on getting bodily fluids out of sequins thongs, but I buy mine from M&S and they are machine washable at 40 degrees.

I know that there are so many people on MN who have really difficult things to overcome and who are still nice, friendly and helpful to us boring posters. That is how it should be I think. And F*ck you if you don't agree

Does Le Creuset burn milk??
My saucepans do, anyone would think it was my fault the milk stuck to the pan after breakfast every morning.

It is grim for children as they grow up to have parents who are not boring, who think they are oh so cool and down with the kids. It's our duty to be boring so that when we have teenagers they can feel cooler than us.

I like MN because I can feel free to air a boring question (or indeed reply) - and if there is someone out there who is challenging the sanctity of MN's boring department (haven't been keeping up) then I agree, bolleaux to them.

I am so boring, I kill every thread I am on [don't care, will continue being boring emoticon]

Lorayn · 28/09/2007 10:37

Fimbo, you are most definitely not boring, you are the only thing that makes my DS want to wear his stripy socks, so he can be just like you!

haychee · 28/09/2007 10:38

I am quite boring but have a busy life. Personally i dont do much out of the ordinary, but have had very hard times, and a difficult life in general.

I agree sugarmatches, people boring, desperate or needy or stressed should be able to post or start threads on whatever they feel they want or need to.

There are choices for the rest of us, to post or not to post or to open or not to open specific threads. I avoid style and beauty and poss religious threads. But love to read and join most other topics.

I'm boring too apparentley I'm that boring I should be classed as a hermit

I am also classed as a snob even though I live in a council house on a rough estate
The reasons why

  1. I except my children not to swear or ride on the back of a quad from the age of 3

  2. I cook

  3. I refuse to go to bingo

Apparentley that qualifies me as a snobby hermit!!!

No such thing as a boring person, sugar! I have never yet met a boring person. You might have to dig a bit deeper but there will always be something interesting about them. If someone dismisses another person as boring then they have something seriously lacking in their own personality.

HappyDaddy · 28/09/2007 12:52

I'm so boring that I have no clue what a Le Creuset is.

Boring is great, we'd celebrate it if we weren't so...boring.

mistypeaks · 28/09/2007 13:08

Am I being unreasonable for pronouncing the OP as a blatant liar!!! (In a good way) She's not boring she's actually a spunky little minx (and good on her too!)

Carmenere · 28/09/2007 13:10

I'm actually much more interesting in rl than on here

Lorayn · 28/09/2007 13:21

HappyDaddy, we could celebrate.......

With a cup of tea, sugarmatches may even boil the water in her non-stained Le Creuset pans for us

mylittlefreya · 28/09/2007 13:39

You can't be boring if you live in Windsor. (BIG assumption) It's posh there, don't you know?

I love my Le Creuset. Makes me feel like I have somehow arrived. Though I'm not sure where.

Surely someone's got to be the middle of the road?

DANCESwithHughJackman · 28/09/2007 13:44

OH I am right at home on this thread. Snooooze. I love my le creuset (especially cooking casseroles in the huge one, feel like a witch). Dh and I have exceptionally normal jobs, dc (one of each of course) are perfectly lovely, balanced children. We have ups and downs. Lots of lovely friends. What more can I say. I like my quiet life but I find it interesting even if other people don't!

my original thread was meant as a bit of a joke, but turned out to me mn version of big brother. i really dont care if your boring, im boring, just in a more interesting way. to someone called cherrypie or something, i never once said i didnt like mn, in one of my posts i actually said it was brilliant, with lots of fantastic mums sharing experiences. i'll never be a hardcore mumsnetter, but id like to think i can pop in for a chat now & again ( once ive bought me thesaurus of course)

Tortington · 28/09/2007 16:36

i piy you all becuase by day i am a sky diver extroidinaire with the sas

and by night i play poker in vegas and have sex 9 times a night.

3andnomore · 28/09/2007 16:37

talula don't let it get to you...people are only teasing now, I think
Anyway, I really think we had a lovely chat the other night...!

Oh, and I know I am a real bore...but I don't care neither...someone has got to be right? I mean, we just can't al be wiitty...and I think that is good so...because, well, it would be complete madness if everyone in the world was witty

Lorayn · 28/09/2007 16:37

At least you're able to come along and keep posting talulasmum, even if your threads did shake us out of our boredom a little. As for the thesaurus, didn't you get my online link? (btw thats a jokey wink, not a pisstake one)

3andnomore · 28/09/2007 16:37

custy you show off

Lorayn · 28/09/2007 16:38

Dont be silly 3andnomore, no-one in the world is witty, except mumsnetters

3andnomore · 28/09/2007 16:38

I don't care neither...I mean, I don't care either...I think...where are the pedants when you need one

3andnomore · 28/09/2007 16:39

lol...

sugarmatches · 28/09/2007 16:42

Oh talulasmum, that was a joke and only made after a personal attack on me (by you).

I think it is great that you come on here and share your experiences with other mums. But if you are going to say rude things, don't expect people to just let you say whatever you want. Even broing people wont let you get away with that.

As far as I can see, it is all water under the bridge now anyway. We are all playing nice now and it feels bloodt brilliant!!

Might I just add that Le Creuset does not burn milk and if you get a milk pan it pours so easily into the glass.
Damn, can't even go five minutes without being dull.
