I'm sure you are Doodle. That is truly a skill to be proud of.

MIAonline · 21/06/2009 21:05

You can only truly redeem yourself by linking to the tread in question so that people who missed it can be nosy can judge.

yabu

aibu is the place for all manner of mind farting and mentalists

to run the gamut of AIBU is akin "walking the wire for you" a la a Bryan Adams song

nuff said, carry on, nuthin to see here

MIAonline · 21/06/2009 21:18

Don't worry, have seen the thread in question!

Wouldn't worry too much from what I have skimmed read.

Just post another controversial thread and all will be forgotten.

It will all be forgotten in the morning. It is a well know fact that MNers have the memory of a goldfish, most of us have had children you know

screamingabdab · 21/06/2009 21:18

I once posted on AIBU, went away for the weekend, and spent the whole time worrying about having been unreasonable. When I got back I admitted I was unreasonable, but still got dissed. (Kerry )

I think I have concluded from this that I am temperamentally unsuited to starting AIBU threads, except on very uncontroversial topics, such as "AIBU, or are kittens cute ?"

Doodle2u · 21/06/2009 21:19

actually, it's turned in to a bloody good thread with some good ideas and discussion! Well done!!!

screamingabdab · 21/06/2009 21:23

flamingo Another Top Tip of mine is to hang out on Baby Names for a while. It will cheer you up and you can have a larf telling everyone your favourite name is Esmerelda or something

(just DON'T say that Katie is a twee name or they will come after you again ........)

bronze · 21/06/2009 21:31

see Ive even read the damn thread and still didn't click which one you were blathering on about

Thegreenfliesareonme · 21/06/2009 21:31

I read the thread & admire you for apologising - I wouldn't have, I'd have hidden it & sulked...then name-changed.

abraid · 21/06/2009 21:31

Don't worry about it for a single second, flamingo.

People forget. Those few who 'remember' threads and hold grudges are very tedious. Sometimes I find I've disagreed (very) strongly with someone on one thread and agreed passionately with them on another.

chegirl · 21/06/2009 21:32

flamingo dont feel bad. Your thread really cheered me up . It was great to see I am not the only slack mum when it comes to sticking and pasting!

You have done me a great service and I will be forever in your debt.

Am totally in awe of the cyber graffiti by Doodle blimey.

angrypixie · 21/06/2009 21:38

I'm with bronze I also read the thread, seethed a bit (but didn't reply) but still had no idea what you were talking about on this thread.

I never absorb who started which thread, I have goldfish memory,

Relax.

flamingobingo · 21/06/2009 21:48

OMG that is so clever!

Although took me a bit of squinting to see what it was

mumoverseas · 21/06/2009 21:49

Doodle, thank you so much for posting that. I had a really evil and malicious email sent to me by my brother and was trying to think of a reply that summed up how I felt. You have provided the perfect response

Doodle2u · 21/06/2009 21:50

Knock yourself out, mumoverseas! Bet your brother nicks it and uses it himself mind!

mumoverseas · 21/06/2009 21:53

i don't care what he does, as long as he gets the message (don't get the 2nd one though?)

screamingabdab · 21/06/2009 21:54

Yeah, what is the second one ?

Is it a bald man scratching his head ?

braveandcrazy · 21/06/2009 21:54

I don't get the second one, can I have a clue what's it meant to be please?

mumoverseas · 21/06/2009 21:55

glad its not just me

Octothechildherder · 21/06/2009 21:56

Where in gods name do I save the images?

mumoverseas · 21/06/2009 21:57

wonder how many of us are scratching our heads and turning our laptops at strange angles at the moment?

Doodle2u · 21/06/2009 21:57

It's a man with his head in his hand....like he's slapping his forehead and thinking "What the F*ck is it all about?"

Change screen size ladies OR cut and paste whole thing into a Word document, then you can see it better!
