I've got a cloak but it's purple, not great for hiding in. My dagger (polymer clay knife) is a rainbow dragon one. I'm in though, my special skills are crafting 😆

Welcome to the group, we need light activities, after mafia business is completed each day.

Dashes off to raid Cludo game a swipes the dagger off colonel Mustard while he's not looking.
Presents it to @HebeMumsnet as a bribe token of respect .

Looks around to see if my partner in crime @sweetpea1535 has my back while I do mafia type stuff

THANKS, Dean! I feel a bit emotional.

Tell us who grassed or you'll be sleeping with the fishes.

Pop music first, then psychological sounds, for 12 hours, then if all else fails, the fishes.

I think daggers are a bit passe to the MN mafia, we need Swiss army knives so that we can get stones out of Boy Scout's hooves and use the very useful tweezers and screwdriver bits to ensure even distribution of bagels and lemon drizzle cakes.

CaitoftheCantii · 26/06/2022 22:31

Um, there’s no sign of the OP…

Do you think <whispers> something might have happened? <gulp>

DeanStockwelll · 26/06/2022 22:31

Cripes I got the name wrong, sweetpea1532 please say you still have my back

TheQueensMarmaladeSandwich · 26/06/2022 22:33

I'm Welsh. Does that mean I'm in the Taffia??? Mmm?

Omerta.

You all know better than this discussion. Or, as is said in some quarters, Cu picca parrau mai si pintiu.

Minimalme · 26/06/2022 22:38

Fucks sake. I'm batch cooking I haven't time for a tap on the shoulder.

MsFogi · 26/06/2022 22:38

Oooh this all sounds very cloak and dagger indeed. I suspect MN is off selling the film rights to what is likely to be a gripping (if terrifying) movie as we message. Careful OP though, now you have lifted the veil anything could happen...

Right now everybody calm down or the pear gets cutted up and the mince gets rinsed!

Once dinner is ready, then you'll have your mission profile.

Their chief weapon is fear and surprise.

No, it’s firm tutting and clear disappointment at anyone who can’t make a chicken feed a family of nine for a fortnight.

I read this as sleeping with fishnets

<shouts from the MN mafia's pocket>

Can I just add that I DON'T have a dagger but I DO have a cloak. Well it's a cape, but it will do. And it's VERY practical. Great for changeable weather, excellent for concealing breastmilk leaks back in the day, and these days I just use it for throwing on to cover food stains on tops. I think we should all get one.

Also, Mumsnetters generally are MASSIVELY on top of bin collections, so between us, I really think we have the mafia bit covered. I think, with this level of organisation, the lack of daggers isn't going to be an issue.

<passes round bagels and sits down again>

Leave the Bagels, take the Cannoli.

Sometimes, it's more the stare, or blitz perspectives, everywhere the targets turn, we hold all the avenues, or have the connections established, they never know who they can truly trust, these days from their perspectives, anyone is in the club, and they just never know.

CaitoftheCantii · 26/06/2022 22:51

Did I just hear screaming from the Sistine? 😱😱😱

(sorry @NeverDropYourMooncup , I just can’t keep quiet when I get nervous…)

CandyLeBonBon · 26/06/2022 22:56

SHARON!!! You're back!!!

Minimalme · 26/06/2022 23:09

@Hawkins001 I simply can't engage in enemy missions right now.

I still have uniform to wash for tomorrow and one bastarding child who won't sleep.

Once the kids are off to school tomorrow, I'll be all over MN Mafia business...

ChrisReasBathEggs · 26/06/2022 23:11

Cloak and daggers eh? Very old gangster style there. Surely it's more dandy highwaymen-like?
