CoteDAzur · 07/01/2009 21:27

"Hun" is worse.

Everybody knew I said that tongue in cheek, right? Cos I would have to scratch out my eyes if you thought it was anything than sarcastic...

Desiderata · 07/01/2009 21:29

I agree. It's just not British.

duchesse · 07/01/2009 21:29

I (((((())))))) somebody on here once - before I knew the Mumsnet Law. However, the poor lady was having a shite time, so I have no regrets. I wouldn't mind a nice ((hug)) if I was in a mess, but call me a hun and I'll shoot you.

Gurn???

Maybe a manly slap on the back, eh?

Princeonthemove · 07/01/2009 21:53

Please say you're pulling my leg, Renni et Nutty?
