[lockedownloretta]

Is it lockdown sending everyone mad?

@JorisBonson

Wibble.

I missed the troll thread. But yes, full of zombies. Started yesterday....

It's batshit most days

This 100% lol

Tbf though the same people being lock down crackers were the same idiots in January bleating about "it's just flu shut uppp". I was quite glad of the heads up peppers, got well stocked up before the rush.

Mumsnet never used to be like this, there was always the mental contingent, but never like this, it ended when people had to pur lighthearted in the title.

Ah sorry @ChristmasSexyTime when I realised it was a zombie I clicked out of it. Cant remember the title either. If I see it again I'll link it.

We've been on the Same thread.
Yup.
Bashir.

Ffs
Batshit, not Bashir.
I'm sure he's lovely

I don't mind the zombie threads. They remind me what life was like before The Event.

What was the troll thread? I've read loads on here today, and I'd hate to think one of those was a troll!

Used to work in mental health, there is an increase in mental distress at full moon, known phenomena. True.
Alternatively people on the edge may cope better in a crisis as they are just trying to do basics/get by and focus on their own immediate needs. Some of us have more time to think, some have real problems. It helps to think short term, practical issues, count what blessings you have. It's pretty difficult

Today?

It was titled “coronavirus - sick and tired of the hysterical scaremongering” sorry, don’t know how to do a link.

But it's not a full moon today

Yep, it’s where the word ‘lunatic’ comes from and there are certainly a lot of them on here (usually on the coronavirus board!)

I wonder does a full moon make you horny too coz I can’t wait for dh to get home and that definitely not like me!

@ChristmasSexyTime

I've just finished work so I'm just settling in with a gin.

What have I missed?

Underage atheists in Texas

Quite a few Previously Banned Posters have chanced their arm again.

@Mummyoflittledragon

Which one?

Underage atheists in Texas

Jaw dropped at that one. Has it gone?

Yes but the various versions of I am a millionaire who is going to get married are all going strong.

I just wish people weren't so quick to report. I quite enjoy a troll thread.

Me too. There are some crackers that get shut down just as I'm settling in with the biscuit tin for a good read.

@the80sweregreat I had that too today, from a mobile number telling me I'd be arrested 😂

That sounds intriguing @WTAFIhavelosttheferret

Re: the moon. DH and I have just had that conversation. We are frazzled, our colleagues are frazzled. We are blaming it on the moon.

We watched a documentary about it once and the police (in some areas) put more police on the beat when the moon is full because it gets more fighty outside pubs and clubs.

YABU. It’s batshit crazy every day!

The 'HMRC 'have been busy today then with the scam calls! I'm still waiting to be arrested.

Yes, it's a bit weird and like others have said, why do I keep clicking on a thread and finding it was last year or even 2010 or 2013?? What's that all about?
