Review for "Mum's the Word" in the TImes

[ladymuck]

Gets a write up in the Weekend Review section, and apparently starts next week on Discovery Health (or am I the only one who didn't know that?). States that the site gets 400 posts a day which is way off IMO - 400 threads might be closer.

Love the way Soupy is quoted

"Ironically, internet addiction might contribute to some of the mothers? problems. Last week ?Soupdragon?, a hardened mumsnetter ? some visitors spend up to eight hours on the site and have begged to be banned from it ? posted the following: ?Mumsnet results in neglected children addicted to cable TV who always look for you at the PC first if they want you.? You have been warned. "

Anyone else get the impression that Soupy is the one tied to Mumsnet for 8 hours a day?!

PMSL ... Soupy you're famous

ahhhh the joy of reading things out of context ..

BTW LM .. yup you're the only one who didn't know

I'm not here for 8 hours a day actually - it just seems that way. I've certainly never begged to be banned from it - that was someone else.

Clearly whoever lifted the quote has no sense of humour and missed the joke!

Now, how do I persuade DH to purchase a different paper today without arousing his suspicions...

Twiglett - Yes I'm out of it. When there were only 400 messages a day I had a chance of keeping up, but these days - it takes 8 hours a day to keep up!

Well I'm off to set Sky+ to capture all of these pearls of wisdom that I've missed. At least I understand the reference to a pasta jar now...

Presumably we won't get to see the non-parenting related dilemmas that get solved here?

here it is

Actually, just to be pedantic, it doesn't say " eight hours a day", just "up to eight hours". Maybe it means 8 hours a week???? That would include.......

...... you know who you are..

Just read the article, is it just me or does it make us all out to be saddos. Me more than most, as I took part in the prg

Just saw this, great write up, get ready for more converts to Mumsnet.

Lovely write up
