Mumsnet has an army behind it. It must be true because it's in a journal paper, and it's also been described as a subaltern counterpublic which sounds just as cloak and dagger as a mafia.

tfw you think you know who posted this, in real life.

applicants must NOT own a toilet brush or a hot tub.

Phew, I’m ok then. I do have some fairy lights and a hanging sign in the hall saying ‘Friends are the greatest gift in life’ though. But I’ve got another on order that says ‘Leave the gun, take the cannoli’

<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.

Can I sign up for the mn mafia too.
I dint have a lot of £s but I can pay in lemon drizzle cake, niece ham and towels that are washed at least 2x per day

Is this the steak OP? If so sounds quite unwell :(

007DoubleOSeven · 26/06/2022 21:05

@HebeMumsnet you know I supply the daggers, if you're running short do you need a new order?

Gonna cost you.

You can be our Supremo. You’re on the right turf and am sure you have people who know people just in case we need them. Which we are sure to do at some point.

CathyorClaire · 26/06/2022 21:05

I have no idea what this is about but I'm hazarding a guess my concrete mum boots are now no longer de rigueur?

And are identified compadres to sleep with the fishes?

Oooh Shock

Ooh! I don't know... Have you got any daggers that will go with silver Birkenstocks? Nothing too unwieldy, mind. This isn't a big cape. I'll need a natty little dagger or we'll be giving the game away.

Pifflewiffle · 26/06/2022 21:07

But does it have pockets?

It gets crazy at Evensong I tell you.
That Church of England is a hotbed of radicalism

Shush, it's our best kept secret, who can I kidnap to raise £250k for the church tower?

I'm not hiding, nobody puts Judy in a corner.

EmeraldShamrock1 · 26/06/2022 21:10

The mumsnet mafia are the moderators. 😉

You have them sussed.

Nobody who does this fucking nesting thing can be a mafiosa.
