Erm, there's a huge article on AIBU in the weekend section of The Times..

[fossa]

...and loads of you are mentioned in it!

Lazy journalism, but brining MN to the masses can't be a bad thing.

LoveaDaisycal - you can order the book through 'Times Books' !! (Small advert to the side of the article)

It is funny though .

Cheap and easy article! I wonder how long that took to "write"?

Even though this is a shite, lazily written article... wooooo! One of my threads is in there! DP has gone to buy the hard copy of it for me now.

Ohh look at me. I am famous!

Does this mean that we are all jounalists then? Since we actually wrote the article?

Think Lady Muck is right - must be a promotion.

I think Justine wrote this - I'm sure she will come and confirm

Just had to run off to buy my copy before they all sell out

Crap I ^knew I should pay more attention to AIBU. I wanted to be in it.

ooh, I'M quoted

can rest easy now about trying to find out if I have been quoted in the book...........I made The Times instead!

Quoted in The Times is something to be proud of, I reckon

Aww, i'm not there But I was quoted in the Guardian!

Oooooh! Impressive

I remember posting on some of those threads and I have not been "quoted

Ooooh me me me meeee mee me me me!

I'm famous too!

When will my cheque arrive

Is it me though or has the cut and pasting resulted in something not half as funny as the original?

No, tumtum, it's not just you.

I did think that there are much better AIBU threads to give a real flavour of MN humour. Not that everyone who posted wasn't great , just that I have been ROFL at MN before; crying proper tears.

What about that classic thread at Xmas about the DH who hadn't booked any accommodation for example? Now that would be one to print!

Now I am famous, and everyone wants a piece of me, I will be sure to direct people to some of my wittier posts before I embark on my world lecture tour

Must go phone's ringing off the hook...

Mwah mwah

slayerette - probably because most of the funnier threads are about bumsex and therefore way too obscene for general consumption

Mind you, last time someone wrote an interesting article about Mumsnet it caused a Major Incident, so perhaps C&P is safer...

Wow I am going to become a journalist it seems piss easy! woohoo my first article

I am touched. I have been mentioned {smile]

I once got mentioned by Louise Doughty in her 'Novel in a year' column in the Torygraph and I felt like cracking open the bubbly. This is possibly better.

Wine o'clock has come early in my house, it would seem
