So is it just me. For last few days my Mumsnet has been haunted by a lady in a green top. Not sure if Mumsnet think this is advertising? But is basically just annoying me!

I’ve progressed from the earwax ones to the back of your throat tonsil gunk. 🤢

Oh yes, the irritating baby monitor green top woman! I had her badly for about 10 days, like a rash, but she seems to have cleared up in the last few days. Relief.

I get her on and off - the plump one in the green top. I have no idea what she’s wittering on about though, since I’ve never listened.

The lady and KFC here. We never eat KFC as my daughter has a milk allergy and soy allergy

Why aren't we allowed to say lady anymore? Can't keep up with this crap.

I’m glad you as as well. No one answered when I asked this. I’m totally confused.

It is the fact that she follows as I scroll down and carries on in the corner of my screen that I find creepy.....it feels like someone trying to sell me something as I walk into a department store.....and then following me round the store as I try to politely say I am not interested!!!

I've got an ad for dog food.

I don't have a dog.

re; the expression 'lady' i'd rather someone say 'thank the lady .blah blah 'rather than 'thank the woman'. i'd rather be described as feminine and a lady than a gobby cow who is as rough as a badgers arse Grin

How does the term ‘woman’ translate to ‘gobby cow who is as rough as a badger’s arse?’

That’s like saying ‘man’ translates to ‘foul loudmouthed bloke.’

So you know that song, "I may not be a lady, but I'm all woman"...
BippityBoppity87 · 08/11/2020 18:42

@Mummyoflittledragon I get those too. I don’t know where it’s come from, why I have them, I just want it to go away!

Currently I have Coca - Cola and a Glenfiddich whisky advert. I don’t like whiskey so no idea why that’s there either

romeolovedjulliet · 08/11/2020 20:53

perfidious i say that because it's not regarded as good to describe yourself as being a lady gentle and feminine on mn [not that i care what randoms think] , i would describe myself as that, but some women seem to be proud of the fact they are loud, and gobby. it's just not me.
there are plenty of men who are foul mouthed twats always reading about them on here, i just don't associate with that type in rl whether it's men or women.

Is that the fat, ferret-faced woman in the video ad? I get it on my phone and given that the screen is tiny and I never have sound on, I don't have a clue what she is advertising which is a shame as I would take pleasure in boycotting it.
