AIBU to be annoyed when I make a really good point on a thread

1002 replies

SerenityNowAKABleh · 02/12/2009 17:36

and then it's ignored, and either I have to repeat it, or then someone else comes and makes exactly the same point and everyone goes "oh yes, that's quite clever" "what a good and inciteful point" and so on. Maybe I should just type in caps?
So, AIBU?

My piles am exceptionally clever and empathic

Jamieandhismagictorch · 04/12/2009 19:59

My Hamster, Lydia, would like to talk about how her DS (Nigel) putting his finger up his bum caused piles

HAH, BEAT THAT !

ThumbleBells · 04/12/2009 20:00

shitting crikey, jamie, of course you are one of my fave MNers!

I think the OP is quivering in a corner somewhere, whimpering at the maelstrom that she ignited - or am i mixing metaphors too much there? never sure...

Hullygully · 04/12/2009 20:02

My dead hamster,killed by the man who is now my bf, now enjoying ballet class and cycling and swimming as a very strong legged perfectly normal 3 yr old, after a freakish puberty spurt one summer is less there to sag

Jamieandhismagictorch · 04/12/2009 20:02

Really must go now - DH may divorce me on the grounds of ignoring his needs and tittering.

Hullygully · 04/12/2009 20:02

I'd better be one an all or I shall be registering a complaint with myself

ThumbleBells · 04/12/2009 20:04

pmsl hully! Artful, truly.

Hullygully · 04/12/2009 20:04

Yep. DH is out on the razz and I must no longer ignore the womb droppings. Sbeen fun.
of course

CitizenPrecious · 04/12/2009 20:16

Maybe we should all drink a cup of peed in bath water and have a count of how many of us survive or not to really have valid statistics about it?

Hullygully don't go. you have a song. well, in my heed you do, at any rate

GibbonInARibbon · 04/12/2009 20:24

That song always makes me dance

CheerfulYank · 05/12/2009 01:35

Hully, surely you can't mean S'MORES, and yes I am shouting because they are ambrosia of the Gods, you loon. The best s'mores I ever had were made from marshamllows roasted over the funeral pyre of my dear departed hamster. They are delicious!

I'm sure Bran would agree.

Hullygully · 05/12/2009 23:20

Things of unspeakable foulness..the devil's own spawnings.

HAH, BEAT THAT !

CheerfulYank · 05/12/2009 23:41

Have you ever eaten a s'more, Hully? I'm genuinely curious about this. I didn't know it was an American thing.

YanknChristmasCrackers · 05/12/2009 23:49

not reading the whole thread, just hijacking to introduce myself to CheerfulYank---hello! (I'm normally YanknCock). I'm originally from WI, so we used to be neighbours or something.

OP, YANBU. But looks like this thread has evolved into something completely different!

CheerfulYank · 05/12/2009 23:58

Hi, Yank! What are your feelings on s'mores?

YanknChristmasCrackers · 06/12/2009 00:02

They are, as my DH would say, 'fookin' ace!' (that is good).

However....having lived in the UK for 7 years, I can tell you that Hershey has nothing on Cadbury, and were I to make a s'more, I would want to use one of those thin Cadbury bars in it!

When I was working in the pub last year I told them all I was going to bring back graham crackers and marshmallows from the U.S. so we would make s'mores in the fireplace. They thought I was bonkers.

EdgarAleNPie · 06/12/2009 10:04

where's my tenner pag?

justsue · 06/12/2009 23:30

I think if you are a regular seven day a week psoter you get answered if not then you have not got a chance of a opinion. (wink)

Hullygully · 07/12/2009 08:07

I'm sure Bran would agree.

Yes, have had s'moors only in the states. was kindly introduced to them by some evangelists at an rv site. dear lord they're hideous.

CheerfulYank · 07/12/2009 15:53

Oh no! Maybe they weren't prepared right. Growing up almost totally feral in the forests of northern Minnesota, our summers were spent jumping into lakes and waiting for it to get dark enough to make a bonfire for s'mores.

Glad to hear it YanknCock...guess you cheeseheads are good for something after all.

I agree (whispers) Cadbury far superior to Hershey's. Expect to be brought up on charges of treason and executed immediately. I only ask that they give me a Viking funeral. With Bran in attendence.

I had no idea that this thread was still going. Apologies for mis-spelling of insightful. I'm at work, so sometimes have to flick over to something else when my boss walks past, so can't check posts.

OP posts:
Jamieandhismagictorch · 07/12/2009 16:09

Serenity Yes, it's still limping along.

I agree with bran

Hullygully · 07/12/2009 16:13

Serenity - you might not want to bother checking posts...it all went a little off topic here and there.

this thread has evolved into something completely different!
