PaulaYatesBiggestFan · 16/03/2008 22:46

poor Justine = we are demonising Caitlin not you!

soapbox · 16/03/2008 22:47

PPH - I don't mind who was listed in teh article either - despite those that were listed insisting that I do.

Such is the insanity of this place at times!

ahundredtimes · 16/03/2008 22:47

PPH - no you're not. Actually A LOT of people on this thread said they didn't care, and thought it was fine.

But I can't concentrate on the lists or mea culpas. I've just had a REVOLUTIONARY TELEVISION MOMENT.

See, I told you you were empowering fffs.

This thread is indeed worse that the other arse licking ones. People have been peeved off about some list the journo made as elitist then going on to produce another elitist list that includes all their friends. I dont get it.

Mumsnetters seem to hate lists that they are omitted from. No everyone can be on a list (think G&T) .

PrincessPeaHead · 16/03/2008 22:47

I'm not cross Justine and I've been here since - oooh, 2003?!

Don't beat yourself up about it. You know Mumsnet, you can have a fight about the weather on here "isn't it a lovely day?" "I think that is incredibly insensitive to those of us who live in Bolton where it is raining STAIRRODS"

I don't want to hear about it 100x... my satellite blew down in the storms last week so I have NO SKY, sob

I hardly ever watched tv and now that I can't I want to watch it ALL THE TIME

SorenLorensen · 16/03/2008 22:49

I'm not cross and I've been here oh ever such a long time.

Tomorrow's chip paper, that's all it is.

Perhaps CM is getting her own back for the MN-bashing she got for making unwise and bitchy remarks about a youngster's facial hair. I think if you search under Frida Kahlo and Caitlin Moran you will pick up the thread.

GermaineSneer · 16/03/2008 22:49

so like if i am waiting to watch somehting at 9pm i start recordign it then watch it 10 mins behind so i dont wathc adverts

ahundredtimes · 16/03/2008 22:49

You deserve any goddess status that is conferred upon you IMO. Really? But that's amazing isn't it? Isn't it? lol, I thought I had to wait for Sky Plus to finish.

camillathechicken · 16/03/2008 22:49

i don't mind either!! my DH would probably have removed any means of interent access from me, as it would have been too much proof that i spend Too Much Time On Mumnset!

can i distract you all by saying i bought that sooper dooper night cream from aldi today, and it was limited to one jar per customer?

WanderingTrolley · 16/03/2008 22:50
  1. I love everybody on this thread [slut]
  1. I am glad to be on no list ever apart from SYB's because I'm the only one on it except for my 3 clones
  1. It's not your fault, Justine.
  1. Am I the only one feeling sorry for CM?
GermaineSneer · 16/03/2008 22:50

HELLP ONE HUNDRED TIMES

LETS TALK TV

Boco · 16/03/2008 22:50

nononono no. We're not demonising anyone! Ok?

100x, i thought you already watched mr men last night, why are you always watching it?

Justine, I think the only way to solve this is if you could go round emailing everyone individually whispering 'you were top of my own special list, my absolute favourite mnetter ever.'

If you could do that, this would die down very quickly.

SorenLorensen · 16/03/2008 22:50

Hey, I just looked at my profile to see how long I have been here and...my age is stalled. Huzzah! Ds1's has gone up (he turned 11 last Thursday) but I seem to have jammed at 37. Cool.

Justine - take no notice, they'll all have forgotten about it by 2025 tomorrow

PaulaYatesBiggestFan · 16/03/2008 22:51

Boco i jest!

PrincessPeaHead · 16/03/2008 22:51

swedes why are you dragging that up again? if you were so horrified about it, why are you bringing it to everyone's attention? Let it lie fgs. She apologised, so lets leave the eyebrows of the child in question in peace shall we?

Oblomov · 16/03/2008 22:51

Thank you for answering my questions.
This is all getting a bit mad. Come , now now ladies, this is getting ricky-doo-cilous.
