I've actually stopped caring about food

[Twiglett]

I really have

I'm not sure I ever cared particularly that much

but then that's from a background of me enjoying cooking so have quite a good and varied diet of fresh food and lots of fruit and vegbut honestly couldn't tell you last time I read a label

it just seems so nonsensical to worry about it

and I'm quite happy for them to have biscuits or crisps or sweets too or a pizza from Iceland (woodburned) or ice-creams like Fab (which I'm sure were invented by the antithesis of MN foodies)

anybody care to join me in this dim and dingy corner of Mumsnet where most other posters believe we're going straight to hell?

Ahhh. In the pub an amusing conversationa bout how you pretend to be asleep to avoid sex and other tactics would have ensued.

Playground just probaly the wrong place.

But some women do like to keep their sex lives private. Wierdos.

Twiglett I am really taken aback by you telling me to fuck off

I am wondering if you are ok because I don't think it is usually like you to make unpleasant personal attacks like this

I'm fairly sure the "fuck off" was directed at me.

Am rather less perturbed.

I always think that sometimes a "fuck off" is just a "fuck off", not an unpleasant personal attack.

Oh Fuck Off, Coddy.

You see? She rather enjoyed that. Found it quite pleasant I'll wager

LOL ok I will learn to love being told to fuck off

as well as finding it funny to have the rip taken out of things that are important to me

or maybe I have not yet reached the same level of spiritual enlightenment as Cod

im so bored with food threads

i dotn care what you feed your children

unless its extreme

does anyone really give a shit waht I feed MY children

no of course you dont

I do, NP - tell me, tell me everything!

The O.P. was light-hearted. There's a desperately unhealthy level of competitive parenting going on here. I'm out.

Gosh, a lighthearted MN food thread that descended into a slanging match.

This is making me sad.[whine]

I think twig is great and was being funny and i still dont' see a personal attack, just a bit of ribbing maybe, but not such deep offense. The fuck off seemed like a general oh fuck off / parp style what's the point type of comment. All the mners i like most are disagreeing so furiously I'm starting to twitch.

Right, 'm going back to babycentre for some ((()))'s

I hope no-one need have a trauma about this

I have said what I wanted to say and am moving on

it's only a spat about food, we can live with this I think?

Did I miss something? When this thread was started did someone mention FrannyandZooey's name? Or did she just crash in and take offence? For no reason other than it's a food related thread and that the whole of MN revolves around her?

Hi Ratty! I am actually standing right here, so if you want to speak about me, perhaps you could direct your comments to me?

hi rattyrat, i'm not very familiar with your posting name, did you perhaps change it in order to attack F&Z? how admirable. [bluah]

Wait, did she attack me? I just thought she was an unusually perceptive newbie

Easy ratty. But she does have a point. Like londonmamma said, the OP was lighthearted, as were the posts. No one said anything about F&Z directly.

learning to find things funny would be an excellent start franny, that's the ticket!

Well, if I read a thread, and am offended by it, on my own or on someone else's behalf, I don't think my name has to be mentioned for me to be able to comment

I seem to be at cross purposes with almost everyone on this thread

it's not intentional

yes I will indeed work on that one PPH

now if all of you can help me out by being a lot funnier that will be a great boon

what you need is a hot bath, a chapter or two of raise high the roof beams carpenter and a fruit shoot. whoops, I mean fruit juice

well read my and enids chuffing blog if you want a laugh

as long as you PROMISE not to take it seriously and start an outraged thread trying to ban it

(btw you have to start at the bottom and read up. much like a MN thread)

Dh bought a tub of the snowballs from Lidls - they are gross, but fab.
Would that help ?
Only kidding F&Z, lets let it go, no harm done.

I think I have let it go already Oblo

yup it is back there somewhere

PPH does it mock the afflicted?

(I didn't know you and Enid had a blog! Is this new?)

I take a very general attitude on here, despite being here for a long time. I would not presume that MNers were referring to me if I were not mentioned.

LGJ offers up a Gallic shrug and wanders off.
