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?

just out of interest is it in the paper copy?

From Todays Times?

there were.

and please note my hilarious x-post with ledodge re tiktok etc.

after reading it though i do feel a bit too thick to mn. loads of you are all very well educated.

my last post to overrun.

no19, thank god you've arrived. CM is a regular lurker on MN and an infrequent poster, she came up with the names herself. as i said, it was a longer list initially.

SEA - don't feel like that. I am eductaed to degree level and im thick as shite

Where do the stats come from, I don't ever remember being asked about my job / education?

there was a survey a few years ago. before my time certainly.

I agree with you Twiggy

SEA - am same as mamazon - I believe I gave birth all my 'brains' came out too

Now now southeastra This is precisely why I had a problem with the 73% degree level educated bit. Yes no doubt there are some mind blowingly academic types on MN but how does one define intelligence?

What about life experience? You do not need a degree masters or phd to be counted or appreciated on MN! Speaking as someone who is in the 27% bracket, I'm more than qualified to be here and you are too!

I don't have a degree either

Aitch is cunny sounds like a weird old-fashioned schoolground taunt.

Cod = feral lol lol

Good to see something nice about us for a change.

Schoolground?

i sighed when they asked me about cod. like this 'foooossshooooooooooooooeeerm'. and said everyone else was cunny/funny and i couldn't really think. it's actually quite hard to come up with something as like MP i never notice from one poster to the next. apart from Boco, oddly. i always notice Boco.

I read the Times this morning and didn't see it in there. But then again, I avoided all the wanky sections (as dd and ds were tearing them apart and colouring them in arrghh) so maybe it was in one of them .

and I suspect, quite possibly, that darling CM earns slightly more than £70 for her copy

I can't find it in the Paper Times either

is it there, and if so, where?

all I could remember about lapin was something rude she'd told me at the meet-up

when people say 'oh aitch does that chunky food stuff' then I go OOOOH YES OF COURSE so I obviously KNOW these things on some subconscious level...

I agree with soapbox (who I think should have got a mention for the first Christmas appeal)

She said..........

The retinue of tribal elders in unspecified. Without a shadow of a doubt, had CM named them, they would have included the following posters:

Blu
Marina
Batters
Bundle
Prufrock
Custardo
WWW
PPH
Bran
Frogs
Kewcumeber
Mea rs
Twiglet
Roisin
MartianBishop
Dinosaur
Cod (yes, really!)
Anorak
Freckle
Yurt
Tamum
Tiktok
Soupdragon
and many other posters whose names have momentarily escaped me.

lol at you lot going on about your part in it you smuggery smugsters lol

i think i may have said that hunker has great tits (judging by vvv's wedding photos). probably best she left that out.

You can't mention the christmas appeal in a national newsletter

imagine the stampede it would cause
