I am disgusted at the Madeleine McCann/Shrek debate!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Bigmamie]

I have joined this site solely to remind all you thoughtless, forgetful, selfish ba#@ards that Madeleine McCann is missing!!!!!!!! I cannot understand how anyone can sit with their arms around their own children, in the comfort of a cinema whilst feeding their children popcorn and Coke that there are lots of mothers in this world who cannot do this. Their children have been taken from them and I wonder if any of you had the money or the resources available to them, I wonder if you would have campaigned this long or this hard for their daughters return. I wish the McCanns every success and only wish I could physically find their daughter for them. I am taking my 6 kids to see Shrek tomorrow and I hope my cinema is still showing the Madeleine film. I hope the publicity generated stays in your faces for a long time to come. Tell me, if she passed in front of you down at the shops or at the park could any of you be bothered to actually tell someone. Or are you all just to happy in the knowledge that its not one of your children. There but for the grace of God............

SHELLY2KIDS
Newcommers are most definitely not welcome as i have found out. Watch your spelling as you will be viscously attacked for any errors. Also dont let them know that you show any distress to your kids at any time.
This is not a warm welcoming place beleive me!

hi shelly

try offering little fruit salads to pick at and the same with veg, little pieces seem more appealing and more inviting than big bits

Gah!

Ah, I see. Very interesting (makes notes)

tell you what fully, i will help the poor lo's while you take the more tragic case ok?

Right, now that the psychiatrists are here, time for me to reclasp nork and get outta here!

Gotta do the school run, and I really really do not want to end up on lulumamas naughty step (shudder)

hi shelly welcome

Notes on fruit salad.

I think the welcome you get depends a very great deal on how you introduce yourself and your first few posts - just as it would in any RL meeting place

its ok to be a newcommer as long as you dont disagree with anything anybody else says.

What do you want to be welcomed for? It's a message board, not a house party.

less than 100 posts to go til lockdown.. me is thinking the thread might not be an active convo by the time Lulumama returns...

Thank you for your advise, I will do that. Can I ask what is a troll?

haychee mind you bp my love...fully you are not attending to this patient very well at all! come hither!

A very severe case of paranoia. Very resistant to treatment, I believe.

(Shelley - also, if you wrap things like carrot sticks / celery etc up like sweets (in tin-foil or coloured paper) you might find that works too)

(and am posting here to bump the total!)

I'm thinking we might need strong drugs here Partly. Got any?

fraid not fully. i gave all the coke to my dc's before they went to school!

only 81 - hurrah - off to a meeting expect to see this unedifying thread stuffed full when I get back [stern emoticon]

I think haychee is self-medicating anyway so be careful what you prescribe.

Why don't you come on to some of the other threads, Haychee?

This one's just going round in tight little circles (like all the other MM threads--take a look in the archive).

You never know, you might like mumsnet after all.

"viscously attacked"

Is that what a giant squid does?

Melt two or three biggish squares of chocolate in the microwave, then mix with greek yoghurt (total best IMO) to make a creamy chocolate dip. Then peel, core and slice a pear per child to dip in the sauce. My children polished off a pear each like this last night.

Abroller
You are utterly heartless and obviously a person that maintains a stiff upper lip. Fair play to you! I think you will be needing that straight jacket yourself with all those pent up emotions locked away inside yourself. Your poor children, who will they look to when you are in the loony bin?

Haychee - all newcomers should present themselves to the following debates:

• should mothers work outside the home?
• is it child abuse to pierce children's ears?
• fruitshoots - tasty or the work of the devil?
