Ahhhhh. I have now read the Zombie thread. I had only previously read the thread title and honestly thought it was going to be a thread about those first few days/weeks (nay, years) after childbirth when sleep is but a distance memory. Hence the zombie/undead reference.

I think it might be the health professionals calling me 'mum' one

IOnlyReadtheDailyMailinCafes · 22/08/2009 23:05

I think they may use the one on the mother going out after 4 days or maybe one of the older mum ones. For that reason I have not contribited. I wanted to start a thread the other day on an issue that I am dealing with but on reflection thought this could so easily become daily mail fodder so I did not bother. Infact I now only start really dull threads and contribute to those which are in no way personal.

when I saw the health visitor/Mum one, I just thought "daily mail fodder"

JonAndHateTheDailyMail · 23/08/2009 13:02

That Daily Mail generator is brilliant ExtraFancy!!!

My favorite so far is: 'Will gays impregnate Britain's swans?'!!!

"for folk who snorted and threatened resignation y'all seem might interested in its content and rubberneckin what dm say"

I neither snorted nor flounced.

I'm more interested in what look like manufactured threads to fit a certain demographic/topic. Obviously I am being paranoid but I don't think it'll be long before they run a 'when is old, too old to be a mum' type thread.

I am the same as IOnlyReadtheDailyMailinCafes and have stopped myself from discussing a couple of topics which I might otherwise post in, to offer help and advice, because I feel pretty sure that even if they were not started to deliberately manufacture a conversation they are definitely the kind of thing the daily mail might print.

it's sad and I hope I am nor proved right.

I am pmsl over the Daily Mail headline generator.

I just got "WILL LESBIANS HURT PROPERTY PRICES?"
Guess Id better go off and start a thread with that title now....

Nighbynight · 23/08/2009 19:07

Seriously, I must admit that I would be furious if I tried to give genuine help to someone on mn, and it turned up in teh mail the following week.

ErikaMaye · 23/08/2009 23:09

at the headline generator.

"HAS THE EURO IMPREGNATED YOUR DAUGHTERS?" Genius.

It has put me off speaking truthfully on here, and for wanting to help out other people, which is a real shame.
