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.

My kids have adopted me a polar bear for Xmas (actually true!) can I bring that to the bunker or will that cause more problems than it solves re: penguins?

@Sunbird24 thats a good point. Maybe bring it along, and I’ll bring a bbq, if we all get organised, could turn it into a bit of a party. There is going to be an awful
lot people there. Wonder if someone could do some music? (Please not whamageddon).

Piano accordion?

Just seen Mumsnet compared with 4chan and Kiwi Farms - if you know anything about either of those websites you'll know that this is a despicable comparison. Xmas Angry

Np, so long as the polar bear doesn’t identify as a penguin.

Yes let's decide how we vote not on what's best for the country but whether someone shares our prejudices. That'll go great.

Sorry I want to vote for someone who knows what a giraffe is. 🤷‍♀️
It's a low bar, but I'm not willing to compromise on this one.

PonyPatter44 · 21/12/2023 21:42

Oh FGS. I am a proper lefty, but get a bloody grip, Dawn. I'd debate with you any time you like!

Can we bring drinks and nibbles? I have rather a nice bottle of home-made plum brandy. (My cousin in Eastern Europe has his own still.)

I'll bring a massive salad.

AcrossthePond55 · 21/12/2023 21:42

Ooooh, will the British Govt extradite me to stand trial? I've never been able to take a UK holiday and this way I'll get free airfare!!! Now if I can only get the US Embassy to offer me free accommodations after I post bail........

Gazelda · 21/12/2023 21:42

Can we pick our cell mates? Or will they be allocated? I hope I get a room with a view.

Will there be Wi-Fi?

How do you do a crustless quiche please?

Step-by-Step Guide to Crafting the Perfect Crustless Quiche:

Preheat the Oven: Ensure your oven is preheated to the recommended temperature (usually around 375°F or 190°C) to achieve the ideal balance of cooking and browning.

Prepare the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the eggs, cream or milk, cheese, vegetables, proteins, and seasonings. Whisk the mixture until well combined, ensuring a uniform distribution of ingredients.

Grease the Baking Dish: Use butter or cooking spray to generously grease the baking dish, preventing the quiche from sticking.

Pour the Mixture: Gently pour the prepared quiche mixture into the greased baking dish, spreading it evenly.

Bake to Perfection: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 25-30 minutes or until the quiche is set in the center and golden brown on top.

Let it Rest: Allow the crustless quiche to rest for a few minutes before slicing. This allows the flavors to meld and the custard to firm up.

Dawn can do one with this self hating nonsense she’s backing.

Yes I think you pick by identifying as conjoined twins with someone.

Alphabet1spaghetti2 · 21/12/2023 21:44

@WearyAuldWumman gosh yes! How interesting, could you possibly show me
how they work, fascinating instrument. I’ll bring my flute. Unfortunately I’m only a beginner, so easy to spot near the bbq.

Ortila · 21/12/2023 21:44

@AcrossthePond55 The US embassy is Hanover Square isn't it? V central, nice location. Handy for last minute Xmas shopping.

You could disguise yourself as a gay giraffe in order to avoid attention when popping out.

MeinKraft · 21/12/2023 21:44

You've made yourself look a right bellend Dawn love.

An inch east of Glasgow on the Ordnance Survey Map of 1899 is a small cairn which is the secret entrance to an underground bunker. I have filled it with penguins in the event that some of you manage a break for freedom.

(I am now being informed by my chief that it was supposed to be Penguins, not actual penguins, as you might be in need of a high glucose refreshment, so I've bollocksed it up there but you can stock up on biscuits in the corner shop on your way. Oh and please bring some fish for the actual penguins.)

Go armed (with sarcasm at the very least). Go silently. Godspeed.

Thank you, I needed a name change!

These: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B09DFHNTY5/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1 Pipecleaners just did not go deep enough and it kept re-clogging, but these totally fixed it. And there was something deeply satisfying about hoiking out all the goop.
