I mean the Scuttlebugging, FLY things mostly. And the thing where they always make a song out of fruit and veg.

..But also how I always manage to kill stone dead every thread I go on.

Is there a manual somewhere?

But isn't it very obvious that Cod does that on purpose? Or am I not allowed to say that?

yeah you can i thought that she was taking the piss out of people who couldnt spell i feel better now knowing she just cant type like me

rantinghousewife · 21/02/2008 20:07

She types very fast but, she is famous for it.

DumbledoresGirl · 21/02/2008 20:07

Pages? There are pages?

I have only been here 4 years and had no idea there were pages anywhere.

Just join in and if you are prolific enough you become Mumsnet.

Ooh, I do like threads like this - I find it very reassuring that there are actually other people who don't know what's going on..I don't have a clue most of the time but am always far to embarrassed to admit it ...

TrinityRhino · 21/02/2008 20:07

you can say it puppy and then it will be ignored cause I'm sure we allll know that but we dont care lol

PuppyMonkey · 21/02/2008 20:08

theres only pages if you are on the shitty horrid new layout

you can tell I dont do the pages thingy

PuppyMonkey · 21/02/2008 20:10

You see now you've lost me completely.. what new layout? Eh?

rantinghousewife · 21/02/2008 20:11

I tried the pages thing but, just found myself gnashing my gums and swearing at it. It just wasn't me.

DumbledoresGirl · 21/02/2008 20:12

You will be fine then. IME, most people who start this kind of thread are never heard of again (or anyway, they don't become regulars). Not that you have to be a regular of course, but if you want to feel fully part of something, you have to contribute lots and partially make it your own.

twospecialgirls · 21/02/2008 20:12

im lost to can we change it then !

frazzledbutcalm · 21/02/2008 20:12

PuppyMonkey - congratulations, you haven't killed this thread!!
By the way, i've never heard of scuttlebuggers, fly's and fruit and veg songs

fluffyneedssomesleep · 21/02/2008 20:13

Nope, can't do the pages thing. Far too new fangled for me. Hang on...does that make me a veteran?

PuppyMonkey · 21/02/2008 20:13

I do contribute lots! Thanks for noticing me!

OP posts:
WaynettaSlob · 21/02/2008 20:13

ah - but you see when they changed the layout ages ago I ticked the "let me see it the way it was" option, so I get to see all the posts on one page........

twospecialgirls · 21/02/2008 20:14

hold on a min how do you know we just arnt a bit confused and do want to become regulars but are finding it a little hard to penetrate through the clickyness of mn!!!!!
and btw im trying very hard to !

rantinghousewife · 21/02/2008 20:14

I agree with DG, the more you post, the more you feel part of it. You will always get those who ignore you, those who dislike you, those who've never heard of you. But, so what, on the flip side you'll soon find those who don't ignore you, those who like you and those who have heard of you.

PuppyMonkey · 21/02/2008 20:15

Frazzled... don't speak too soon....

mrsruffallo · 21/02/2008 20:16

I am in a clique of my own
I only seem to row with people on here...

DumbledoresGirl · 21/02/2008 20:17

No-one is stopping you becoming integral to MN. Take it from someone who has been around long enough to know: some people come on here, wade into every topic and become old hands within about 2 weeks. The rest of us can only stand and stare!

rantinghousewife · 21/02/2008 20:18

Not me MrsR, who've you been upsetting then.

DumbledoresGirl · 21/02/2008 20:19

Oh and FGS do a profile of yourself (Well done Twospecialgirls for already doing this). There is nothing I like better than nosing around people's profiles and it does give you a feel for some people.
