Foul language on Mumsnet…

Foul language on Mumsnet?

Having newly registered with Mumsnet I am dismayed, after perusing uTube and other forum sites where obscenities constantly pop up, to note use of foul language on this ?family site?.

I reported the swearing, specifically, where ?arseholes? was utilised as a reference to political parties.

The return I got from Mumsnet HQ was ??we don't think we
should be the arbiters of what people should find offensive and what
they shouldn't.? and ??We generally find it's better to let the boards self-
police??

May I engage you all in a quick survey?

Hands up all those that deem ?ARSEHOLES? as an offensive expression that should not be used on these boards??

Thank you?

Hands up those that deem ?ARSEHOLES? inoffensive??

Thanks?

Looks like the arseholes have it!

belle, you are a very lucky girl, indeed

But AF and Display would need a truly special gift in keeping with the tradition of bridal gratitude. this perhaps?

rofl at your mugs Belle

Ms Microbe, I applaud your sentiments!

So unpleasant when ladies use naughty words...

Teach your children to cry 'Fiddlesticks!' instead. That will do the trick.

So good I posted it twice?

The scary thing about the Chuckle Brothers is that my betrothed really reminds me of someone and I can't think who. Maybe I've just seen him so often in my dreams?

You could have 'Barry' engraved on your ring.

Display where did you find those wonderful gifts. Oh this wedding is just planning itself... It must be fate.

shockers it wouldn't be ladylike of me to post my immediate thought in response to that comment - PMSL. Or should that be UMSL (urinate etc).

Right ladies I have an RE display to sort out for the morning. Will my invitation be in the post? I am invited aren't I... what with me setting you up n all?

Bit miffed at not being maid of honour TBH.

There's a course in Ring Engraving?
What qualifications did you need for that, then shockers?

shockers I'm sorry, I needed a Maid of Honour who knows all the words to Like A Virgin and isn't ashamed to sing it...

There's an opening for ring bearer, if you're interested?

Oh I'm not qualified, it was just a suggestion. I thought it sounded romantic.

Any ideas for the cake I mean I don't want to push myself forward or anything......but I'm told that my buns are lovely.....

Oooh, hobnob, do you have any we could sample?

You questioning my purity Belle? There's gratitude for you... there wouldn't even be a wedding if it wasn't for me
However, in the spirit of the occasion, I accept your offer to 'bare' your engraved ring... do I get a silken cushion?

Do I get a blue dress like the others? I have some specs like the lady on the right.

A silken cushion? It shall be yours. Along with matching knickerbockers and a frilly shirt. Oh, you'll look adorable

shockers bloody hell, I know you set us up but this is supposed to be my day.

I suppose you can have a blue dress if you must but I really wanted my ring barer in knockerbockers...

would any of these do the trick www.bigstockphoto.com/search/bun/ . Let me know and I'll get to work right away

Smashing... I'll stick with the specs too if you don't mind.

I'll check in the morning to see how plans are coming along.

Got some Jewish symbols to laminate now.

Ta-ra.

I am soooooo going to boss all the bridesmaids around

< rubs hands together >

who is the best man?...because of course I will be keeping with tradition and shagging him

Oh an i'm sure IDONT could recommend her driver to take you to the church.....unless he's busy of course taking her to some high powered meeting or something
