I don't get the 'fun' of invading another site and causing real upset to real people. I trust people on mumsnet and respond genuinely to them, and now I wish I hadn't - and that has upset me.

I'm sure this is going to get me labelled a humourless sourpuss over on CUK - but then I reckon I am already one of the "...rampaging horde of offended lardbuckets..." they refer to, or perhaps one of the ".... small clique of salad-dodging, vindictive, manic-depressive yet very vocal inadequates..." who is "...likely to go blubbing to the Admin if anyone does not treat them with kid gloves?..." (not that I did go to Admin, but hey, why spoil a good insult with facts).

I can't be arsed to read the whole thread, there are far too many long threads on this already, but no, DavidTennantsGirl, you're not unreasonable. I think it's twattery of the first order too. Some of the threads were funny for a little bit, but now I just wonder what kind of sad erectile problems men that bored must have that they've not given up and gone for a wank in the staff loos instead.

SheepInWolfsClothing · 31/03/2010 17:30

We can't wank in the loos like you, it leaves a mess.

upahill · 31/03/2010 17:32

Stayingdavidtennants...... Thanks for that I did see that and thought it was odd so I kept out of it.
I've just had a look on their website about how they were taking the piss out of us

You're a fiesty one!

This all started about 7 years ago when a farming forum got closed down and about 40 posters took camp up in ours.

Contracting is a very lonely profession. , albeit incredibly well paid

DuelingFanjo · 31/03/2010 17:33

couldn't we treat it as some kind of foreign exchange?

ToccataAndFudge · 31/03/2010 17:34

you know every time their's a board fight/invasion over here we ALWAYS get a few staying on because they love us all really

daisydora · 31/03/2010 17:34

Urghh I feel violated now.

How bloody bored must they be...still Marcia did make me giggle.

CwtchyMama · 31/03/2010 17:36

Oh can i go on the exchange i never had the chance in school {pick me pick me emoticon}

MrsFullyautomatix · 31/03/2010 17:37

I am almost certain that most of you mums are only keyboard jockeys bashing the heck out of the keyboard with all your swear words, but in RL you are all happy go lucky, cookie baking types who adore your pets and flowers in the backyard.

MrsFullyautomatix · 31/03/2010 17:38

Daisy you feel violated ??

How should we feel ? The amount of abuse Coco took has made him unable to open his mouth. He us under sedation currently and we are not sure he will recover fully.

"I am almost certain that most of you mums are only keyboard jockeys bashing the heck out of the keyboard with all your swear words, but in RL you are all happy go lucky, cookie baking types who adore your pets and flowers in the backyard"

Yep. Judging my the language I'd suggest an episode of Shameless, but as we're building bridges.

I agree

CwtchyMama · 31/03/2010 17:42

I dont make cookies & if any cats come into my garden they will get soaked with ds' water pistol.

But you do have me on the swearing

cocolepew · 31/03/2010 17:42

I knew coco was a troll and said so. YANBU because on the first thread people were genuinely upset, posted about depression just for some dickhead to make fun of it.

Big laughs.

Bessie123 · 31/03/2010 17:43

was this an invasion from rollonfriday? They like doing that

coldtits · 31/03/2010 17:43

Oh bless their poor little lonely souls.

They need to get over to PlentyOfFish

Seriously, who does that? I know I while away many an hour on here but I am a single mother, I don't really have a life - why aren't these people socialising, or doing a hobby?

CwtchyMama · 31/03/2010 17:44

Why would grown men want to come on here & act like twats anyway?

cold tits we do not socialise because we are IT geeks.

We need girls over on CUK, why dont you join us in some socialising ?

posieparker · 31/03/2010 17:46

So much press is bound to attract people to MN. And with some of the funny and catty quotes often taken form here and banded about in the press who can blame people....MN is a wealth of wit, humour, over reaction, pfbness etc .....as long as they're funny and not offensive I say let them come....

TheHeathenOfSuburbia · 31/03/2010 17:47

The thread on CUK is quite entertaining, have skimmed up to page 20-ish, where they're starting to back away in fear...

"The crowd are too angry already - just saying hello will get you told you are a "smug f*er" by someone.

It's too difficult to recognize who is a troll and who is a regular poster over there. I thought I spotted some CUKers but apart from the obvious names, it's nigh on impossible to tell who is a regular there, who is a regular troll, and who is on holiday there.

Fail."

I mean, from their point of view, we're some smug middle-class mums who all the politicians are pandering to, I guess they fancied taking us down a peg.

CUKAmbassador · 31/03/2010 17:48

coldtits.

Many of our members work long hours away from home, never leaving the hotel or flying around Europe. Some have social impediments(ie. they work in IT) or hygiene issues.

All of our members are of course available for dating and regularly meet up every Tuesday at the Ship and Shovell, Charing Cross, London, WC2N 5PH where they swap wanking stories.

If you or any of your lovely lady posters would like to join them then feel free to watch out for the next invite on CUK!

MrsFullyautomatix · 31/03/2010 17:48

StewieGriffin, that is not nice that is. We do have a life, work long hours, do proper work, get harassed the entire day by our managers, we then bring home the bacon, cook food ( not that soup I hasten to add) and make sure that our kids have a roof over their heads.

nickelbabe · 31/03/2010 17:50

aww, ga'wn, CUK and Sheep: put some swearwords in your posts: it'll make you feel soooo much better.

i like the way you put "pi55" instead of piss in your board.
