I read this out to my mum, thought it was hilarious

Especially the controlled crying bit...

SecurMummy · 17/08/2006 21:33

can you link - I can't find it

nikkie · 17/08/2006 21:34

Fantastic!

UrsulatheSeawitch · 17/08/2006 21:38

It's been typed out already somewhere (but may have been deleted so type it in again quick)

There is also, on p 9, a Number Crunching:

£40 - Yearly cost of joining Nobody's website in order to access her childrearing advice

£0 - cost of joining mumsnet, the parents' advice-sharing website nobody threatened legal action to get closed down over "defamatory" comments

Idris, can you please give your friend a heads up that the threat is not in the past tense?

Have to go out and buy P Eye, everybody (I bought it specially because the typed out bit keeps disappearing )

Lots of other good stuff in it as ever (mediocre front page this issue though). Roll up, roll up - only £1.40, cheap at twice the price and you can get it in Sainsburys.

SaintGeorgeMarple · 17/08/2006 22:25

www - report yourself at once. You said the naughty words.

WideWebWitch · 17/08/2006 22:29

Blimey, didn't need to report myself, ha ha have they got some auto bot that deletes refs to ? Sorry anyone if I caused you to feel anything at all about anything...

UrsulatheSeawitch · 17/08/2006 22:30

Just us witches getting deleted tonight, www

WideWebWitch · 17/08/2006 22:40

Ursula, I am very proud to welcome you to my witch family

I so want to type something abusive but won't.

WideWebWitch · 17/08/2006 22:41

abusive to you, obv, I don't feel abusive towards anyone else in the world, obviously, no, it's just seawitches I have a problem with.

UrsulatheSeawitch · 17/08/2006 22:49

obviously

fistfullofbanners · 17/08/2006 23:10

IdrisTheDragon · 18/08/2006 07:03

I am seeing my friend tomorrow, so will discuss nobody with her .

Imafairy · 18/08/2006 12:45

So glad someone brought this up - DH and I were POSL reading it. Also an interesting Number Crunching entry regarding how much you have to pay to get advice on various sites, this being one of them, and the other being..........
