P&t parking threads make me sarcastic.

the 'oh haven't things changed threads' make me simultaneously nod in agreement and want to poke the op with a sharp stick

in jokes make me boak - yes i mean you peguin and pirate mentioners.

i no longer give a shite about blw, bfing or potty training.

all i have left are camping and style & beauty.

sigh!

yy ronald, I too try v hard not to post just No, or 4

Tis v tempting tho

Dumbledoresgirl · 13/06/2009 20:48

I tell you what I remember ad nauseam - no pun intended: all those wretched threads asking how you remove the smell of vomit from soft furnishings. I wish I could have had a tenner for every time I told MN about my vinegar solution.

pointydog · 13/06/2009 20:49

I cannot abide the neighbour/tree-cutting threads. I am becoming very terse on thiose ones.

Dumbledoresgirl · 13/06/2009 20:50

Actually, I can't stand "what are you having dinner?" threads the most. WTH is that all about? If I said I am having spag bol, are you the OP, going to rush out and buy some mince?

DeepGoat · 13/06/2009 20:50

yes i am increasingly terse.

It's inevitable. Parental concerns don't change, hang out here a couple of years and you've seen the lot. Round and round they go. My complaint is how centrist it's become, doesn't seem to be much fun any more, all v conformist and humourless. Prob as has become more mainstream. Need to share the love AND the fucking laughs.

pointydog · 13/06/2009 20:51

All the sad-ass favourite mnetters threads have me itching to post. I think I have resisted so far. Most of the time anyway

pointydog · 13/06/2009 20:52

how conformist?

DeepGoat · 13/06/2009 20:52

mns has been fantastic when i need advice on bf or where to buy 'non character' nighties for dd that don't turn her into a human firelighter.

maybe i have consumed all the knowledge, maybe i am about to be transformed into a ball of light and ascend into some higher being?

Pd, yes, why this hankering for recognition from anonymous internet avatars..Tis weird.

hullygully · 13/06/2009 20:56

Pd - conformist as in immediate knee-jerk unthoughtout reaction in line with current received thinking. eg woman says fancies 17 year old man...everyone goes all prim pants: it's WRONG. They're children. What if it were the other way round etc,,,Why shouldn't/wouldn't old people of either gender fancy young flesh of any gender/ species etc?

Oh god that's a bad eg I sound really weird now. But I still think it.

scottishmummy · 13/06/2009 20:57

hate the MN oscars everyone jostling to see if they get a mention

but i did learn porridge oats in tights,hanging over bath tap for eczema and it worked a wee treat

DeepGoat · 13/06/2009 20:57

mn knowledge checklist

mooncups are good
cods potty bootcamp
school run dresses
why uggs are on the whole a bad thing
maclarens are the pushchairs of choice
{sound of angels}
combing is the only effective way to de-nit
what to buy and what not to buy at lidl
{lifting to mns heaven}
good bye cruel world

the thing that seems weird about those oscar nigh love ins is that they always include loads of names I've never even seen before...usually starting with the op

That's when I conclude that the blw and brilliant baby threads have more than a few members

Or am I so self obsorbed that there are more mumsnetters than I can possibly know?

Ronaldinhio · 13/06/2009 21:03

you won't pass St Peter's steely glare if you can't win on a Jade Goody /Jordan/Princess Die thread

watches DeepGoat fall back to earth

scottishmummy · 13/06/2009 21:03

but that is the beauty of MN a huge critical mass of burds with pc

Nappyzoneisabeetrootrunner · 13/06/2009 21:08

try some new ones - i tried aibu for a week and lasted 2 days i couldnt bare it, then i triedthe housey cleaning one which enabled me to clean bits of my house more but then i just felt more guilty as it highlighted the sht hole it is. Now i am embracing running threads as my new hobby flourishes. Soon be time for xmas threads again

DeepGoat · 13/06/2009 21:10

running thread is good but i do worry that i am too slow and all the speedy super fast ones highlight my angst.

i did have a lovely run with a mner thanks to the running thread.

btw i am not critising mn. i just think i am not in a mn 'place' right now.

DeepGoat · 13/06/2009 21:11

DeepGoat · 13/06/2009 21:14

you just need to go away and come back imo

DeepGoat · 13/06/2009 21:17

foxinsocks · 13/06/2009 21:24

nah you're probably not fucking people off. But there's a saying about a break being as good as something or other but I can't remember it lol.

What I do know is having a break is always quite refreshing.

DeepGoat · 13/06/2009 21:39

bless you all, so long and thanks for all the mooncups!
