To be pissed off when I contribute to a thread that has gone or subsequently goes, tits up...

And someone comes along and says "you're all bitches" "you're all horrible" "You're all x, y, z"

When actually I have not been a bitch (sometimes neither has anyone / a lot of people but this is about me me me ), I've actually posted something supportive / factual / just in response but not taking the piss or anything, even if I don't agree with OP.

I want them to put "All of you except heqet"

hurumph.

I'm not unreasonable, am I?

No. It's also quite deflating when you take a deep breath and post an angry and quite vitriolic post and no-one notices

Thank you James, it's all the crumpets that do it, that is an excellent and erudite post.

Off to eat more buttered toasted goods, but before I go I must just mention that I agree with Bran.

GibbonInARibbon · 19/02/2010 09:27

Keeping my chin up widow thank you my lovely, and your posts are always excellent

GibbonInARibbon · 19/02/2010 09:28

I was just about to agree with Bran, now I shall agree with umami agreeing with Bran.

oh this is so typically mumsnet isn't it, you middleclass lot with your butter and your crumpets, why are you so anti bread and marge? is it because you think you're better than the rest of us?

ironic aren't I

my personal bug bear is when you are enjoying a nice pedantic thread about a word being used incorrectly and it get's jumped on as being a class issue. Then you feel you have to prove that you aren't a snob by saying how many members of your family wore overalls to work and how poor you were.

Jamieandhismagictorch · 19/02/2010 09:29

Orm think yourself lucky - that can work in your favour if you've said something ill-judged, or indeed posted something rude on the wrong thread.

I believe it was tethersend who coined the phrase "serious sandwich" to describe this. As in :

"I said "'Tis Pity She's a Whore" in a thread about a 5 year old girl, but that goodness no-one noticed as I was in a Serious Sandwich"

Umami · 19/02/2010 09:29

Goodo Gibbon, pip pip what tally ho and so on. Raindrops on roses. That is an excellent and erudite post

Jamieandhismagictorch · 19/02/2010 09:31

Sarf I believe you meant to say gets, not get's

catastrojb · 19/02/2010 09:35

can i join in the moans? (i've already eaten my breakfast crumpet so they are in no danger from me. unless someone tries to persuade me.) my special skill is thread-killing - i frequently post and find that a once lively thread has now become ghost-like. with tumbleweed.

please someone say something. anything. else i shall have a nasty complex.

StayingDavidTennantsGirl · 19/02/2010 09:36

If someone has crumpets to share, I have home made marmalade to offer.

And I'm not usually a bitch (I probably need more practice).

Jamieandhismagictorch · 19/02/2010 09:38

Right, lovely to talk to you all, but honestly, the lure of the tealight calls to me ........

Laters.

tortoiseonthehalfshell · 19/02/2010 09:44

Well you know what I hate? I hate when all the good threads happen in a different time zone,just as if you're all in a different hemisphere from me, or something.

Harrumph.
