Aibu to point out that 'Mumsnet' is currently trending on Twitter/X because a labour MP has (rather comically) reported it to the police?

Dawn Butler has reported Mumsnet as a whole to the police, for talking to each other and Having Views she does not like.

Bottom bunk in case I have to pee in the night.

Me too.

ArabellaScott · 23/12/2023 21:31

Bottom bunk because I can't do heights.

Can we identify the snorers and the slightly hard of hearing as well so they can be matched together please?

BinturongsSmellOfPopcorn · 23/12/2023 21:34

What we need is a file card sorter, like my mum used to have for finding contractors before MS Office had been invented.

Each person's information went onto a file card with series of holes and slots for various criteria. The cards all went into a long box with holes at each end. When you wanted to find someone you stuck skewers through the holes for the criteria you wanted (or it may have been the ones you didn’t want) then turned the box upside down and only the cards for people who matched all the requirements dropped out.

Do we bring our own Pom Bears, or will they be provided?

Topofthemountain · 23/12/2023 21:55

I'm the youngest, therefore I was on the bottom bunk. (Not bitter) However, the base of the bed was wire, so I could lift my legs up in the air and push up, causing my sister to be jolted up.

I'm still up for sharing with Dawn, I can be the annoying little sister and pass my germs on. 😈

Fimofriend · 23/12/2023 21:57

Who the F is Dawn Butler? And is her lack of profile the reason why she is now acting like a total git?

Thank you for the recipe for short bread. I was just saying to my husband earlier this week that I had a craving for home baked short bread.

Merry Christmas everyone! Don't let your families drive you up the wall in the holidays season.

I'm both of those, so I don't hear myself snoring! But others can!!

Plus I'm an up multiple times to pee, and have no chance of getting back up to the top bunk at 3 in the morning!

I'm fairly tolerant of most food even those I don't like, but cauliflower cheese lovers and those who inhale lemon drizzle cake would not be my first choices of cell mate!

ChristmasEvemaddness · 23/12/2023 22:04

I can't wade thru can someone summarise for me please.

ChristmasEvemaddness · 23/12/2023 22:05

I tried to read beginning of thread and now we've moved onto bunk beds?

rose69 · 23/12/2023 22:13

Can I operate the press in the laundry?

Cosmosforbreakfast · 23/12/2023 22:15

I snore, I kick, I flip over and pull the duvet onto the floor. Not sure anyone will want to share with me but my husband will be thrilled with the break.

We are all going to prison, so discussing the cell arrangements.

I think there are 4 prison threads now & I can’t remember which is which. But there will probably have been discussions of gay giraffes & wildlife sex, and a lot of practical arrangements around dress codes & who’s bringing what.

Sunbird24 · 23/12/2023 22:23

And a discussion of various egg-based savouries. And shortbread recipes.

dapsnotplimsolls · 23/12/2023 22:26

This one is more food-based, the rozzers one is more animal sex-based. I have no idea why!

Cosmo needs put on Rule. For her own safety.

Somanyescaperoutestofindfromallthis · 23/12/2023 22:28

I need to pee at least once, plus I read between 3.01am and 4.23am so I need bottom bunk and a night light and to share with someone who has an eye mask. Oh I snore too. Queue up in an orderly fashion to share with me.

Single cell then I guess

Somanychristmascarolstosinginallthis · 23/12/2023 22:31

Is this the Christmas namechange one? I’ve lost track too

The rozzers one is animal sex based as that's the sex and gender thread and Dawn once said something about the sexual activities of giraffes with an unbelievable statistic and as according to the internet we are all completely obsessed with sex and genitals over on the FWR boards we naturally gravitated to discussing ducks corkscrew penises and currently are on the sex live of slugs!

(That sounded more sane in my head!!!!!)

Anyone know what time the police are calling? It's just that I fancy a long soak before they arrive. I need time to make sure I'm prepped and ready for the prison adventure

My back garden is a mess. It would help if someone would dig it over for me.

cough The terfy books are hidden in treasure chests buried round the back.

From memories of my student days watching Prisoner Cell Block H, I think that's a privilege reserved for the "top dog", so you may have to fight someone for it.

Winnading · 24/12/2023 11:22

Ok so for the spreadsheet marvel? Anyone actually offered yet?

Top/bottom bunk
Snore/deaf
Lemon drizzle/no, how disgusting
Job type/wanting a break so no job for me please
Violent while asleep/cuddly mother figure
Those of us who need household help like digging a garden up, erecting table and chairs, the Christmas dinner cooking/ those who are not needing such mundane things
Those who should replace attenborough with pay/those who will research for the new attenborough also with pay
Those who like to misname egg based foods/those who know what a frittata is

Plus see my previous post on spreadsheet stuff.

Can I request to be arrested by Michael Kitchen?
