to think Mumset is a whole lot better post-Mouldiegate?

[Picante]

Genuine observation here, not trying to stir anything. It just seems a lot less cliquey and bum-licky. My replies are recognised and appreciated. I hope newbies feel welcomed and that there isn't some barrier that you have to cross in order to become 'popular'.

Well?

rhubarb I think you said a norty word

maybe you need to refresh your knowledge of the MN philosophy

[Finally wakes up and saunters back to mn]

I didn't realise what had happened,but do miss the lack of 'what are you wearing/eating threads?'

I realise I used to always miss the arguments good threads, but I did have a good laugh.

I am sure I shall continue to do so if I can ever find time to make a come back.

Oh right, sorry Canute that wasn't solely directed at you, there were others before you who were also going on about how crap Mumsnet is now.

I just think that if you really don't like it anymore, take a sabbatical. If you still think it sucks when you come back then dereg. But to come onto threads and say it's crap is a bit rude imo.

Go on then, what's your reg number? Let's see who's been on the longest!

Can I just say that it must have been a really shit week at MNHQ what with being under attack/server probs/S t e i n e r threads and now this thread which really serves no purpose other than to stir up everyone again

I feel a bit sorry for Justine et al atm

That's all

Hmmm...you see, I don't think it is really different at all...but than, I have the observation skills of a blind bat....

DuckIsland - Mumsnet no longer delete because of norty words. Unless knitting is a codeword for summat else.

Besides, I hardly ever fucking swear! Snot fair!

(I've said cunting and twattish on the BNP thread. But then apologise to all cunts and twats for comparing them to the BNP)

norty, norty

[wags finger]

I have been waiting for ages to be able to spell norty like that again.

wondering if "knitting" is code for something else....

I would but I am not on my original reg - I de-reged after a whole lot of trouble IRL then had to re-reg... I wonder if I would get my old reg number back if I persauded tech to give me my original account back? Just to be nosy like!

Anyway, I have been here 6 years in August, how about you? (note, this is just for nosy purposes, not one-up-man-ship)

yoooooooooohoooooooooooooo twit!

Sorry, that last post was to Rhubarb

i agree with lockets and ahundredtimes
mixed feelings

Hmm, well dd is now 8 and I joined when she was about 1. So longer than I should be!

But I have taken the odd sabbatical!

I hope I am not talking in some 'code' and not realising it. I'm not that sort of girl.
[Fastens top button of short, reties apron and sods off to do something about food for the masses]

Agree, not for oneupmanship at all. In any way. Just nosy.

I WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes, that makes sense, I thought you were one of the members who was here the day I arrived

Yes I'm so 'sewing' today, but I was 'knitting' yesterday.

[waves at lulu]

is there still a cafe/bar round these parts?

"the old mums have moved on and it's time for the new ones. "

ooops - come on Rhubarb and co - we'd better be off

Who're you calling an 'old mum'? Huh!

I never know if I count as an old mum or not - I have namechanged so much I am a perma newbie but have been here for sooo long I am ready for a bus pass (well it feels like that sometimes anyway )
