Whoops - damn that c+p - forgot to delete the last line!

But still definitely not a pass for me, even if you tell me I am a harpy.

0.5/15

I am wearing skinny jeans at the moment but I didn't have to wriggle into them Wine.

Bloke's an attention-seeking knob.

Toby eating his laptop as posted on Twitter

MmeLindt · 17/03/2011 15:04

Ah, good on you, Toby.

Would you like some ketchup with that?

Organic, of course.

Oh bless, do you think he's been on MN all day waiting for us to rise to the bait? I'm sure you aren't really the knob you make yourself out to be!
I'm off to do the school run, on foot not in my multipla, where my three normally named children will be waiting for me.

PurveyorOfWoo · 17/03/2011 15:08

GoldenBeagle · 17/03/2011 15:14

Well, Mr Young, you have just sealed my decision that I do not wish to send my child to 'free' schools run by people who use such derogatory language about women. Harpies, yummy mummies, etc. Women are the parents of the pupils you purport to provide for, you know, or is really just those women who think like you do and live their lives like you do, and live with nice tory voting men?

You are rude, dismissive and steeped in the sickly gunk of self interest.

AppleyEverAfter · 17/03/2011 15:15

Hope it doesn't choke you, Toby!

why doesn't his piece specify his own interest in West London Free School? Or are we all supposed to know because he's just so, well, clever & important & a media whore?

and who is Mvl1972? Why didn't he she come back to defend his her only post?

I was married in St Bartholomew's in Wootton Bassett and DS was christened there. It's a lovely market town near to J16 of the M4.

PILs live there and DH was born and bred there. We want to move back but house prices will probably go through the roof now.

CaptainNancy · 17/03/2011 15:46

We need someone from MNHQ...
What percentage of MNers in the census actually were SAHMs?

Toby is just PO'd because people have the temerity to question whether syphoning public money into his non-fee paying private school is actually the best thing for the children of London.
