The bar is open and the ticking clock has been muffled for the duration...Come on in!

I'm off to watch Peep Show, and perhaps for some good lovin'...my doc has banned us from thesex this month as medication has made too many follicles (FFS!), but when I told the Boyf, he just raised his eyebrows and said "Hmmm...ILLICIT sex!" and started singing 'Secret Lovers', so fuck it - lets make hay and pray to Baybee Jesus that we don't end up with triplets!

ChoChoSan · 16/10/2009 20:52

Cross post Polly, hope you don't find any Babydust/Angelbabyinheaven shame on my other threads!

I will probably return on Monday - My motto is - always post and poo on work's time!

PollyPoo · 16/10/2009 21:01

Just catching up on the pages and pages of chat from this avo, and have realised I may have committed mortal sin.

I have not completed all necessary questions for inclusion in the gin palace

So here goes....

Walls: They are cream. With mould in places. V unfortunate but I am hoping to move soon.

Pets: 1 dog - a 6yr old english bull terrier. She is my beeoootiful baby no 1.

Crush of Shame: Oh there are so many . Who to choose? Well, there could be Dom Joly. Or Jean Reno. Jools Holland. I luurve Ray Winstone, but I don't think that counts as shameful? I feel I must also admit to a shameful hankering after Will Mellor.

Lesbo crush: Brody Dalle or Gwen Stefani. Preferably both but I'm trying not to be greedy.

[proud emoticon]

It seems that with all the "bumsex", dying old ladies" and "baby coffin books" on this thread, it's little me who writes something controversial enough to get it removed by mumsnet . Must have touched a nerve. Shame. Anyway, moving on.

Dog back at vets today. Now hit the £1500 mark this month. That's more than I earn in a month... Thank goodness for Petplan but I will be writing to Mr B to demand National Health services for dogs and horses. Realistically otherwise it's racial discrimination.

Loving the new girls. VERY funny.

Droid got me. Pretty chuffed actually as at least I am now starting a cycle.

Scorpette · 16/10/2009 23:07

Carrots - for once it's a pleasure to congratulate someone on a droid

What did you get a dunce's cap for? Mentioning a certain incomer's hubby, ahem?

FlightAttendant · 17/10/2009 06:17

Why are you proud for saying something so spiteful?

All I did was poke my head round the door and ask Ski to stop saying I was lying about things I wasn't. I tried to be civilised, tried to apologise when I got the humour wrong, yet nobody had the guts to say sorry for riting such atrociously inaccurate accusations, even though no names were mentioned if you did a little searching you would see it was me Ski accused of lying on a different thread the day before, so it was obvious who she meant - it was the Nato thread as well. I sense however that you lot are choosing to ignore this despite knowing it to be true, and instead just gang up and have a proper bashing of someone who has nOT brought their little friends along to have a row, NOT shouted and not been nasty.

It makes me feel sick to read this thread, I am sure you feel righteous about the collective situation you are in enough to excuse any OTT anger at someone not in that situation, who might very well be a nice person who is just upset at 'hearing' themselves be spoken about in a really insulting way on a board they use regularly.
Did any of you stop to think for a moment that by 'saving face' among your crowd on here, you are making someone else feel absolutely shit, someone who hasn't actually done anything wrong apart from politely point out that the nasty comments on the thread are visible and upsetting to whomever they are about?

Why do you want to make me feel like shit? do you think I have a perfect little life and thus deserve it? I ws angry, yes, when I first posted, but I felt bed intruding and tried to lighten the thing up but to no avail. You are a hardcore bunch and yes, I can't take any more of your bullying (how many of you against one of me?) so am going to hide the thread because reading it just feels like sticking my hand in an oven.

As I said, I don't have a DH, and I thought the remark about 'fucking' him was just unnecessary and cruel - well, wasn't it?

I am shocked that there are real people who behave like this on MN, you obviously like each other enough but I don't fit in here. I think Skihorse is funny and very very clever, and would have loved to have sorted out our differences but sadly it doesn't seem that will be happening because I can't take any more.
This place is horrifying for me, obviously a sanctuary for you...I hope you all realise how much of an impact your words have had. Yes, be proud by all means, but I am not thick, (do you want an IQ? 135 if so) and I am very, very upset...job done.

As you were.

FlightAttendant · 17/10/2009 06:26

And fwiw I have done my time on Ovusoft, despite my random, misguided 'accidental' quip...(which was meant in a 'go on, hit me some more' kind of way, attempting to make someone smile at just how dumb I was to post on here)
...you just don't know, do you, about the people you tear apart. I didn't think my own experience was relevant so didn't mention it.

That's all. I am genuinely sorry for any offence I caused - that's me apologising again if anyone missed it, I'm not sure you appreciate that here though.

skihorse · 17/10/2009 07:32

IME 135 is thick... but should be OK for its purposes. Coffee, white thanks.

Do you think she's mad?

FlightAttendant · 17/10/2009 08:23

Scorpette I am soprry that I forgot to respond to your very decent post, which would have made a lot of sense had I been one of those reporting Ski for nothing...I understand how horrid it is that that may have happened. I appreciate what you said and yes, I agree we are adults and ought tor espect each other - however there were remarks on here distinctly relating to me, I am certain of that, which made me feel awful to read and that was why I posted initially...I wouldn't have 'followed' Ski here just to cause trouble, the first post I made was an attaempt to defend myself and I am sorry now that I did not spell it all out more clearly.

It is perfectly reasonable to want a private place on here away from everyone else - I don't see anything wrong with that - but not a place where it is Ok to make offensive comments about other users who can see them, that was the only thing that upset me.
I am so sorry that I have intruded into what is obviously a 'safe' place for you all, I did not want to do that but seeing what was being written I felt a short post asking for it to stop would be considered acceptable.

Scorpette, I hope that this makes it a bit clearer, I understand why the massive reaction to my intrusion and respect that you are merely protecting your own...and given the upset you mention on other threads (which I wasn't aware of) I can understand the defensiveness too.

Ski, I am offering an olive branch, I hope we can lay this to rest.

CurlyCasper · 17/10/2009 08:33

FA We tried to move on (by ignoring you) and you kept coming back. Yes, a couple of posts reacted to your angry, not-so-diplomatic first outburst.

However, if you had calmed down after that you should have just stayed away, because your subsequent posts were of a goading nature, and while many (I admit not all) of us chose to ignore, you still kept it coming. You admit you have been reading this thread (note: if you don't like it, don't read it) so I suspect you knew full-well that the thread members would not take kindly to your antagonistic intrusion.

Ref: bullying: you came here. We did not gang up on you, merely defended our safe haven and our friend. Perhaps it is for the best that you stay away and stop trying to get a rise out of us.

I am already upset that I felt the need to write this. I want to move on and continue to enjoy the good company, however dark-humoured, of my BESHies.

CurlyCasper · 17/10/2009 08:34

X-post with FA.

skihorse · 17/10/2009 08:39

FA - As I pointed out yesterday I'd not registered your name - in my mind you were simply "one in a group". At no point was your name mentioned nor specifics. Your behaviour upset me the other night (hence my flounce) because you reported me for stating an opinion AND a fact and then after someone had reported my post (I have no idea whom!) - I reported a post bitching about me. I then hid the thread because it upsets me to read further bullshit. FFS I've lived in Belgium for 7 years, dated military boys since I was 21 and so I think I know a teensy-weensy bit more about military life at NATO than you do - if indeed it was you who reported me - I have no proof of who reports posts!

I think it's odd that you've been following me here - this is exactly what I said people were doing and you just proved my point. I don't even follow these girls around mn and I seem to remember one of them is a self-confessed "cross-stitcher" - that must be a fascinating read!

skihorse · 17/10/2009 08:42

I'm happy to accept your olive branch - it just really, really pisses me off when I get told I'm "wrong" when the topic is either subjective or something that I am factually aware of. E.g., if you are indeed a real life flight-attendant I can offer no facts about planes, except that BA trolley-dollies are spawn of satan and it was that job or doctor's receptionist.

CurlyCasper · 17/10/2009 08:44

Please note that my post was a reaction to the accusations that we, on this thread, are:

righteous
sick
shocking
horrifying
and bullies

in FA's post at 6.17am.

I have seen the apology and olive branch offered to ski, and now wish to say no more.

skihorse · 17/10/2009 08:47

Personally I'm secretly thrilled that finally someone has recognised my righteousness, my sick & shocking humour, my horrifying laissez-faire attitude but I absolutely refute bullying. I'm the world's worst bully.

CurlyCasper · 17/10/2009 08:49

BESHies in the interests of RL protection, is there a way we can keep the name of our FB group secret? Groups show up in searches and on your profile and I fear anyone could lift the group name from here and go on to stalk members on FB. (Imagining a situation where I might be RL/FB friends with someone on MN. And hopefully not one I've had disagreements with!)

Perhaps befriend BESH Palace, get the keys to the FB Palace, then unfriend BESH Palace to remove name from your profile? Would that work? I am making this too complicated? Maybe I should just go back to bed...

skihorse · 17/10/2009 08:50

Casper I was thinking exactly along the same lines. Once you've contacted the mothership 'de-friend' yourself from Besh Palace and go to "the other place".

CurlyCasper · 17/10/2009 08:52

Fanks ski You nearly made me cry and everyfink there. Shall I use your fiver to get sweeties for our lickle boys?

Was going to say gin for us, but I'm suffering a two-day hangover and you're most likely in s state of diff-ment

Good job you've not got PMT...

CurlyCasper · 17/10/2009 08:53

"a state"

CurlyCasper · 17/10/2009 08:58

still catching up on what I missed last night. HCS sorry no pics - strange really, considering I had a gi-mungous camera round my neck when I was groping iggy. But then a big fat man in red bellowed at me (well everyone really) to get back to me seat. So grabbed a quick snog and ran. But I will say that she is waaaayyy more attractive than her hilarious FB profile pic would have you believe.

skihorse · 17/10/2009 09:00

Alas I've been defeated by the droid - nice weekend present for me. I dunno Aunty Casper we had sex and everyfink (not me & you obv.) - I prayed to the baby Jebus even though I'm Jewish. I rinse my foofoo with grapefruit juice and I don't even go in to newsagents lest I inhale licquorice and my baybee gets ADHD.

CurlyCasper · 17/10/2009 09:09

Maybe we should have sex ski. Perhaps my problem is that I'm actually a man with an extra hole and I'll never get to carry a baybee. If so, I'd be delighted to diff you

(Casper reveals extent of bodyfail imaginings...)

I am sorry ski Let's get sweets and gin. And some cigs if you want.

FlightAttendant · 17/10/2009 09:41

Thanks Ski,
and Casper

I hope next time our paths cross it is on friendlier terms. And I didn't mean anyone here was sick etc etc, I just felt sick/upset reading the nasty bits (if that makes sense)

and no, I'm about as far from a real flightattendant as you could imagine... to quote tourguide barbie

i blardy hate flying. And fwiw I am really sorry about the dreaded af. if I can call it that. Bastard thing.

FlightAttendant · 17/10/2009 09:43

and I really didn't mean to goad, sorry. Just wanted to sort it out and v glad if we have.
thanks again
