to feel left out when MNs welcome each other like old friends..

[purplepeony]

rather than virtual friends?
How long do you have to be on MN to be a "friend"? Do you all know each other really? Does it matter to you? Does it make you not post on some threads as you feel you are gate crashing a clique? Does me.

I have slipped off my fanjo hat and will leave all things banjo/fanjo/tango/mango to BOF

I love your name Shiney, always makes me smile

(am trying to shake mental image of fanjoesque hats now)

mwah of course not mhaw [dumb emoticon]

oh look, all my old friends are here

I did see the irony in everyone chatting away like old friends. Thought it might make purple laugh

I am only arsey about banjofanjo names in case that handsome chap called Banjo from Britain's Got Talent ever decides to do a webchat. He will need to know me for the restraining order you see.

beanies - Were you talking about this thread ??

If so, I started this thread & I am also quite new on MN (only joined in June). It only got chatty cos another Mumsnetter was asking about buying my pushchair, I don't actually know her. You should have joined in the convo. I love it when my threads take off !!!

purplepeony - I also know what you mean. I never get greeted either !!! Maybe we can be friends ?!

""

riven! there's ways to make friends and that's not one of them!

Hey Shine, I'm good ta, and you ????

Oh, I know ben !!

See, we're friends already. We're already shortening each others names...

i respond to posts not posters.dont get the like/dislike thing. life too short for mn grudges and gripes.

pile in,i say

Hey, Shiney! remember me?

OOOWWW! that fucking hurt

Rest assured BOF my fanjo will never play the banjo again

ooohh I wonder if some time ago I read a thread with one of your banjoing fanjo's in it and it went into my sub concious subliminally?

Yeah I hear that too

Whoops, sorry, I heard that too !!! (In response to Shine)
