Mumsnet in the Times

Here's a nice article about Mumsnet - make way for the newbies.

And blimey don't Justine and Carrie have a lot of children?

am i the only one who read it and thought, 'oh, thank FUCK she didn't list me out by name!'?

not at all jealous.

good on 'em.

ah you are nice and honest franny

OK maybe the posters ARE representative

am looking at mumsnet thorgh Enid tinted specs

Oh, in which case huge apologies enid! I misinterpreted your comment re hunker entirely.

I can't deny that I didnt think "er, hang on, they havent picked me" but, it lasted about a nanosecond and then was incredibly proud to find out that 5 posters I admire incredibly were being written about. Admittedly, I thought that what would be written would have a certain amount of substance to it too

I also can't deny that I have been being somewhat provocative by reflecting comments made, but, I really thought they sucked!

Franny I think only about 83 of them were angry. Most of the others were either supportive or talking about vomit / keyboards/ Mexicans / interiors.

and banditos.

thanks expat there were apparently 17 empty wine bottles after dinner party for 8 last night..

enjoying the curmudgeonly tone

oh and of course soapy's tribute to the old regulars

I was chatted up by a Mexican once. His name was Diego and he had the smell of baked beans about him

Enid, you're a good old stick really

And Franny is eminently sensible as ever.

WT... a ha. Yes. Same code as yours. Summat to do with missing num lock on laptop keyboard (keyboard for very small mouse-type person) Will hunt; must do shortcuts. Go join punch up again now and ignore me.

Cor Bundle, you went a ..............bundle

Was it someone's birthday?

well thank god they DIDN'T pick me
if they had described me as 'eminently sensible' there would have been gnashing of teeth

no of course I was jealous
I bet quite a lot of people were REALLY
but the list was quite right, I am sure it is because I went away and thought really quite hard about it for the rest of the day about 3 minutes

@ bundle

cam

nope just vair boozy

left early (at one!) which was just as well...

WHY has Hunker left?? Send her my love QV please.

they are jealous.

if such a characteristic can be ascribed to the occupants of a vipers' nest.

Lol mmj

yeah, and where the fuck is Aitch?!

I wasn't jealous really because I'm still fairly new, and really wouldn't expect to be in CMs radar anyway, or Justine's.

But I am very upset that I have not been mentioned on any other bastards hurumphy list of 'people who acshully I would have picked' etc. Not one.

I'm taking my banditos and flouncing. I hate all of you.

i'd have picked you boco[soothes and strokes hair]

and anyway-no fucker picked me and i'been here since 2001!!!! 7 fucking years at the coalface!!!!!!

Really? Do you mean that? [hopeful]

Aitch is doing stuff in RL. Work I suspect.

Hunker is still around on email - you can contact her on hunkermunker at gmail dot com or through her blog - how breastfeeding works. (Google it - it elevates her search status ). And she's all the better for not being on here.

As is Pan.

Have I told you all I'm on Richard and Judy on Monday?

Boco you ARE funny
