Things I wasn't aware of until I joined MN

[Truckulent]

This is meant to be light-hearted, as i'm snowed in and climbing the walls. If it gets 5 posts I'll be surprised.

Also this could end up with me and Belfastbloke posting.

But as a Dad wending my slightly puzzled way through life. Until I landed on MN I'd never heard, thought of or been aware of the following:

1. Greggs sausage rolls and Fruit Shoots are considered the work of the devil. I love the sausage rolls.

1. Wohm and SAHM debate, it's never cropped up before in my life, surely it's whatever suits each family.

1. Boden. Never ever heard of it before.

1. Breast and bottle feeding. Never really had an

opinion, if it wasn't working for the mother, fair enough I thought.

1. Zombie plans. Absolutely brilliant idea.

1. Pantenne, never heard of it but I'll give it a try. I

thought it was a shampoo.

1. How many men are considered twats.

1. Never seen the word cunt written down so many times and used in conversations.

1. Never realized how many feisty intelligent women

there are out there and wish I met more like you in RL (sounds a bit arse-licky but true) as i don't like cars debating with men can be so boring.

Self-indulgent? Probably.

Bored out of my brains? Yes, I need to get out again
and participate in some sort of sporting activity.

Any more things men (or women) didn't know.

Or am I on my own in dadsnet?

And that there was a preferred way for toilet rolls to hang.

was is pantenne if nto shampoo?

no 9 makes me itchy

Do you mean panettone?

Panettone. Like eating sawdust with raisins in

Have you tried out any of the good housekeeping threads. You can join in my surprise that some people change their sheets and towels daily!!!

There you go. Five posts.

Lol at pantenne/panettone

Yes sorry, Panettone I blame my iPhone.

ooh I have never been in here before...

What is Zombie plans? I have no idea either.

ooh. well i know what a panettone is.
i thought i had missed some new fabulous product. tut.

That other people ascribe colours for letters, numbers, words, days, months etc.

And that they are WRONG.

Panettone is great as toast

I've been told (on here) that Panettone should be home-baked. I mean we'll have a go, is it worth it. Or just buy some, or don't bother?

That people can get so riled up by how other people choose to live their lives.

Fascinating reading, but phewf!

Also, didn't realise how much I sat on the fence!

This is a zombie plan.

Panettone makes AMAZING bread and butter pudding.

how much support there was when you interacted with people (or in this case words on a screen).

Love the zombie plans.

love how diverse it is and how much there is that i dont know.

learnt never ever to walk into a bf/ff fight unprepared

This way to Zombie plan

Ooh I've just worked out how to do that, there's something else new.

"Panettone. Like eating sawdust with raisins in" Ooh that is so unfair! It's like sawdust and YEAST with raisins in.

Is it pronounced panaytoni?

Things you really shouldn't google.

thank you (i think) for the Zombie link.

No mention yet of mooncups?
