To think that nobody reads these threads

[BertieBotts]

You know, the ones where someone asks "What colour socks are you wearing" or something else inane.

You read about the first three answers and then think "Sod it" and just scroll through the rest, post yours, and then leave. Nobody reads the answers on these threads, surely? Even if you write something witty or interesting nobody notices, so why do we all reply anyway, knowing nobody will read it or care??

YANBU.

um...boredom? wine? Probably wine.

YANBU lol I think it's just something to reply to isn't it

Have you noticed that the more responses to the thread, the further away from the topic it becomes.

Which is good in a way, one thing leading to another.

This is an excellent point. Personally, I feel that if the Tories do get in, there is going to be a huge period of adjustment. Especially given the way that this "Broken Britain" profile is being presented - pipe dreams of more appropriate wealth distribution which will go up in smoke.

Tortoise...do you have kids??

I read the "what have your kids eaten today" one.

Just goes to show that someone is reading this thread

We have three, all completeley diffferent.

Redbin, do you not find that it works better if you hang it to dry as soon as you've finished using it?

I thought it was a buzzard.

Bertie - How's your LO sleeping now? My DS had a few days of sleeping through (when ill) and now only wants to be fed to sleep - and that only sitting in a chair, not lying down, so I was up from 2-6 with him last night.

about twice a year. but i'd like it weekly.

lol!

Lmao

I know someone who used to use a sock instead, but where possible I stick with Andrex.

A cast-iron weather vane shaped like a coal-tit.

Bender from Futurama.

And some home made playdoh.

Well, in the end I decided to bin it.

My mum has never quite recovered though, I don't think she realised people got up to that sort of thing!

Just like a real conversation Coralanne

(and don't you hate it when smeone reads the first 3 posts and replies ignoring the rest of the posts, so bringing the conversation away from the more interesting new topic that it has diverged into)

especially when it has been smeared with eggnog

If you make a hole with a pin through the stem an inch from the top, they stay stiff.

leeloo his sleep is better, but like anything has good periods and bad periods. I found that staying with him for an entire night seemed to cure him of fighting sleep, and now if he doesn't go to sleep straight away it definitely seems to be because he needs something, like one night I couldn't work out what was wrong with him at all, and then he did a massive poo! So fingers crossed it is all sorted and the problems were caused because he was unsettled by the split.

Sorry you are still having trouble. It sounds exhausting. Did you carry on with the NCSS?

Yeah but his quiff, i mean c'mon!
