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

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?

We like Wal-Mart. You can park your rv for free and you can get all what you need for your road trip.

Don't want any kind of vile s'more/s'moor (that other yank spells em different)

CheerfulYank · 09/12/2009 16:21

So true, a person could live in Wal-Mart for a decade or so and never have to step foot outside its doors. It's got everything.

I'm off now but will be back to figure out what Jamie was talking about. And to figure out how to make my Christmas name.

Perhaps I should ask Bran...

Hullygully · 09/12/2009 16:46

Bye bye Cheerful.

I'm all alone on this great big thread now. I can talk to myself and say whatever I like and no one will know. It's really quite exciting.

Hully, you know I've always had a bit of a soft spot for you. Oh stop, you'll turn my head with your silken words. No, I want to say it. You are quite the most gorgeous and fascinating creature that ever graced these hallowed, empty, echoing MN halls. Would you care to dance? Oh, well, excuse me while I place my fan on the walnut whatnot and slide gracefully into your extraordinarily rich arms.

Hullygully · 09/12/2009 17:14

Yeah, but it's a bit crowded in these halls now, innit?

It was lovely there for a momen. There are huge arched windows and through them softly falls the snow, ghostly in the light from a thousand candelabrae..Oh hark, I hear Mr Rochester's tread upon the stair. He stumbles, blinded by the damn fire. But I can catch him and bear him up in my slender white arms, as white as the white and ghostly snow. And we shall dance (even though he does bump into things a bit).

GibbonInARibbon · 09/12/2009 17:24

Is there a gerbil named Gerald in this hall?

Could be persuaded to stay if he does a little song and dance number.

You are both delightful company an' all but one does like some light entertainment.

Um, excuse me for lowering the tone and all - but Ms HullyGully if you are puzzled by the suggestion for Ms Tethers Christmas name, I refer you to:

Hullygully · 09/12/2009 17:52

I knew that! I knew that!

Jamieandhismagictorch · 09/12/2009 18:42

Hully, Hully !!! Stop twirling you'll make yerself dizzy you loon - did you not know what a bell-end was ????

TisTheSeasonToBeHully · 09/12/2009 18:44

Oh, Mr Rochester, hearken to my new Christmas name! Twas given to me by a young maiden named Greensleeves, isn't it just divine?

TisTheSeasonToBeHully · 09/12/2009 18:46

No, young madam, I fear I am aged and no longer au fait with the argot. But no matter, I stand, or twirl, enlightened, and Mr Rochester is an altogether happier man.

Hark! Can I hear screaming from the attic?

bibbitybobbitysantahat · 09/12/2009 18:47

Chuffin heck!

Wish I hadn't clicked .

I have a period of enforced abstinence am away from Mumsnet from a few days and its all gone mad in here.

Will see self out.

Jamieandhismagictorch · 09/12/2009 18:48

Verily, 'tis yule-tastic.

Now what about ME ?

I'm a bit fed up by my name anyway. I used to be screamingabdab

TisTheSeasonToBeHully · 09/12/2009 18:48

Come back and dance, Bibbity! Dance! save a space on your card for poor Mr Rochester, he's not as nimble as he once was.

bibbitybobbitysantahat · 09/12/2009 18:50

Have you all been at the sherry?

TisTheSeasonToBeHully · 09/12/2009 18:50

Jamie - I'll go and ask Greeny, she's a name changer extraordinaire.

My dd suggests: NoNeed ForFairyLightsJamieIsHereWithHerTorch....

TisTheSeasonToBeHully · 09/12/2009 18:52

Who needs sherry, Bibbity? In here we dance and make merry and free with each other and anyone else we can drag in for a bit.

Jamieandhismagictorch · 09/12/2009 18:56

Hully - Oooh - I love that - your DD is a geenyus

Does Greensleeves live in your attic too ?

bibbity sadly, no , though a v nice Manzonilla awaits in my "box of crazy unnecessary crap I have bought because I am basically viewing Xmas (erroneously) like it is the Siege of Stalingrad rather than one day when the shops are closed" box

Jamieandhismagictorch · 09/12/2009 19:00

Darn - just tried to change my name to hully's dd's suggestion and it's too long .....

TisTheSeasonToBeHully · 09/12/2009 19:02

Oh, what bad luck.

We shall think again.

I wonder what happened to Pag? She used to dance so beautifully, Bran said.

tethersend · 09/12/2009 20:50

I don't know how to namechange

Jamieandhismagictorch · 09/12/2009 20:58

Go on My Mumsnet (light blue tab right at the top of the page), then onto Registration details, and then just put your new name in the box where your name currently is. Then save.

BTW I have been reading your name as Tether Send (der ......)

tethersxmasbellend · 09/12/2009 21:21

Thanks Jamie!
