You knob!!

Ahem

HECTheHeraldAngelsSing · 31/12/2013 09:20

No. Netmums got the award.

Or are you making a joke about it that's gone flying over my head?

MirandaWest · 31/12/2013 09:20

Netmums got an OBE.

Thought you were going to say that the BBC had said it was Mumsnet.

Moln · 31/12/2013 09:21

Eh?

LucyLasticBand · 31/12/2013 09:22

HyvaPaiva · 31/12/2013 09:22

But it was Netmums who won, OP.

Congrats to them.

Cerisier · 31/12/2013 09:23

Eh? Think you are confused OP.

Aw thank you but no, it was definitely Netmums - congratulations to them!

We reckon Justine and Carrie are like Benjamin Zephaniah - too cool to accept (NB there is almost certainly no truth in this whatsoever)

That and many other insults and slurs!!!

Do we need one?

We are marvellous enough without a shiny gong.

BarbaraWoodlouse · 31/12/2013 09:46

at bum with eyes stapled on. Can see how that wouldn't have helped swing our cause.

Well done to Netmums though. Not for me from what I've seen of them but good for them.

Way too sweary and naughty and leftie for OBE from Dave. Though still, loads of important work overlooked IMO.

Though be nice if netmums did acknowledge they may have been inspired by mumsnet - rather than just met at a toddler group and came up with the idea. I mean, the clue is in the name.

Congratulations Netmums!

SauceForTheGander · 31/12/2013 09:52

Shitters, is that libellous? !

Those 'Tossing Mums' look a right load of ragbags! (see Shrove Tuesday pancake tossers on uTube). Afraid I'm not a MumsNet fan after I posted a politely written, if contentious, comment on their site and received a torrent of vile expletive abuse from other subscribers. I complained to MumsNet about the abuse and they replied "We allow free speech on our website!" And, to think, these 'tossing ragbags' have just been awarded OBE's? Whoops! Do pardon my 'free speech'.?
