News you want? Non-prole, highbrow, high falooting news you want? Well get your chops round this and let's see how the thread draws in the punters

[suzywong]

it has come to my attention that I have been accused of dumbing down MN. I challenge the accuser to comment in and inclusive and stimulating manner which not only draws in other MNers but expands their consciousnessess with a pinch of cameraderie and creates a ferment of supportive sororiety.

a)
b)
c)

Oh it's you who is dumbing down mn?? I was wondering

you have personally been accused of dumbing down MN?

[disappointed face]

So nothing important then, like Fruit Shoots or Sausage Rolls?

and why aren't you signed into msm?

Yes, I have, by Callista. I started the Britney Thread.

so anyway, back to the money-where-your-mouth-is challenge

suzy, don't worry what ever it is you are lovely!

Well, apparently I hanker after mumsnet lite according to the lovely Caroline.

Shall we elope together, hun?

I like Bush's tie, but his jacket sleeves seem a little short.

Or is that not what you meant?

yes, let's gggg. Can we have our reception at La Tupino or whatever it's called? That raved about rustic restaurant down your way?

Thank you lulu but don't worry about me, I 've got a string of one liners about those news items up my sleeves, particualry the effect on coriander prices in Oslo as a result of a)

May I join your dumbing-down club sooz? I started the Charlotte Church thread

Wendy, you're in.

La Tupina is vastly overrated - not a vegetable in sight (apart from a couple of aperitif radishes) and full of hefty Americans fresh off the cruise liner who have read the New Yorker reviews.

Have you read my little contre temps on that thread? Blimey!

Shall we have tickers SW?

"by Callista" sounds like a medieval vow

• by Callista, we will not rest until we bring down the tone!

Mumsnet Lite - has quite a ring to it doesn't it

life would be very dull if we were serious all the time

Eww, I'm disturbed now by the image you've put in my head of 'A Firm Bush'.

What this site needs are sparkly tickers.

a) does anyone know any single norwegian men?
b) I find Congress greatly improved by a firm Bush
c) Ahh, the great judicial traditions of cross-dressing... it's what made this country great, you know.

Can I join the dumbing down club now, please!
