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).

he has just come for a giggle at this.

he is 18. is a genius for hacking and programming, been doing it from a young age, seems he would fit right in...(except he has a girlfriend...

so what prompted this then? did you all need a bit of female company to while away those long hours in the hotel? isnt that what the porn channel is for?

CheerfulYank · 31/03/2010 22:56

It's all in good fun until someone gets hurt. (When my mother started speaking directly through me I certainly don't know, but there you have it )

I'll have to do more research until I find out whether I think YABU or N.

Remotew · 31/03/2010 22:56

A small section on this site have been wondering where the fit, interesting and available men are, don't reckon we will be going onto your site to look.

Nessarose · 31/03/2010 22:58

yanbu op. Alot was said that has upset people. I got involved and now I wish I had not.
Although now I know I dont like ricard its vile stuff

SheepInWolfsClothing · 31/03/2010 23:01

I started young, as did most of what I would call the talented people, and they stuck with it cos they tend to enjoy it. So he may well end up as one of us.

If he's off to uni soon then with luck he'll be coming out as the economy is picking up.

SheepInWolfsClothing · 31/03/2010 23:02

@Eve

Mostly we aren't available. All the good ones are taken.

ToccataAndFudge · 31/03/2010 23:09

tbh - given the episodes of raiding other websites (albeit not quite as planned) that I recall MNers doing on other websites.............

ThatVikRinA22 · 31/03/2010 23:11

he is indeed sheep, and its definitely his 'thing'. he did it for free on the net from about 13, self taught, now he has a paid job as a programmer part time, he is doing computing A level and will go to uni next year. and he is a hacking genius..but uses his force for good not evil.

seems i missed all the fun today.... why did you guys invade? you bored?

SheepInWolfsClothing · 31/03/2010 23:19

We have been in the midst of a civil war, it seems the holiday was an attempt to create some team spirit.

It has backfired, as we now have moderators banning each other!

ThatVikRinA22 · 31/03/2010 23:27

ive just seen that sheep....seems you CUKed up. there is a bit of unrest over your way.

argumentative lot aren't you!?

NotTinaTony · 31/03/2010 23:35

I've largely missed the whole civil war thing as I'd not been following CUK very much of late. I just checked in and thought I fancied a holiday.

ThatVikRinA22 · 31/03/2010 23:41

holiday in cambodia....

tortoiseonthehalfshell · 31/03/2010 23:46

"We are forced to say "tulip" when we actually mean "shit". "

Lightbulb!

Who was the poster yesterday who said her husband's nickname was Tulip and she didn't know why? I think we have an answer. If your husband is really unpopular, I suppose.

Also, there is a forum for serial parking offenders?

I don't think I want these guys to stay. Their site is full of the same old lazy misogyny you can get anywhere, why would we want it over here too?

ToccataAndFudge · 31/03/2010 23:47

PMSL Vicar

you know we're really lovely really - but if you come on AIBU................well............you're asking for it really.

yeah I got upset by some of Coco's posts yesterday = but looking back they were in AIBU, and they were "just" a troll....

HoppingHeather · 31/03/2010 23:49

bit new here, whats CUK?

shockers · 31/03/2010 23:53

Wish I hadn't clicked on the link... those poor men waiting to catch us visiting their forum... I hope I haven't over excited them.
Hey guys... come and visit special needs or adoption. You could have a real laugh there.

NotTinaTony · 31/03/2010 23:56

"Who was the poster yesterday who said her husband's nickname was Tulip and she didn't know why? I think we have an answer. If your husband is really unpopular, I suppose."

That was me - it was an in joke for the CUK's but it didn't last long enough for anybody to see it. Tina also had a pot noodle time. Pot Noodle goes with wank on CUK - Off for a pot noodle and a wank. I can't remember how it got to that, but I was hoping tina having a noodle at work would make us laugh - again your mods pulled it.

ThatVikRinA22 · 01/04/2010 00:00

oh dear. im hearing the worlds smallest violin...

your forum is self destructing you know. you might be stuck her forever! get your ruby slippers on... theres no place like home, theres no place like home...

and we dont have mods.

ToccataAndFudge · 01/04/2010 00:00

shockers - to be fair to them they did steer clear of those types of boards

ThatVikRinA22 · 01/04/2010 00:01

yeah, seems fairly harmless to me. i quite like having something new to play with.

NotTinaTony · 01/04/2010 00:04

I'm the parent of a 13 year old speacial needs kid - aspergers and blind so I wouldn't take the piss in the speacial needs bit

tortoiseonthehalfshell · 01/04/2010 00:15

Aha, I thought Tina was - an unconvincing character. She veered between taking things far too seriously and taking the piss far too obviously.

tortoiseonthehalfshell · 01/04/2010 00:16

tortoiseonthehalfshell · 01/04/2010 00:16

Clearly I felt that was worth repeating

NotTinaTony · 01/04/2010 00:19

She was meant to be random. But you have to remember I was a bloke pretending to be a mum. A mum who feeds her kids cat food.
