Sunday Times strikes again!

[therednosedcariboo]

I quote, "The middle-aged, middle-class well of loneliness that is Mumsnet can vouch for that."

FFS![anger]

Article from today's The Sunday Times: Here come the girls by Stephanie Theobald

meooooowwww

Outrageous!
I'm not middle-class.

And I'm not middle-aged!

and I'm not lonely!

I would rather be described \s a smelly inept streetwalker than middle class and middle aged.

and i am no voucher

I am middle aged but I'm not middle class. I don't have a well either.

is this the article about mid-life lesbians?

yes it's in the style mag

who you calling a mid life lesbian eh?

here

I am not lonely, m/c, but am middle aged.

and yes I do have a well as it goes.

Shit!!

I'm middle aged and middle class.

Does this mean I am a lesbian?

my Dh will be pleased!

And I do quite like women, so I am prob. a lesbian as well, ( as the well).

Well I am mc I suppose, def middle-aged, not lonely but I have read Radclyffe Hall (is that the name?).

Ooh I think we need another Venn diagram....

There's an old cowboy sat in a cafe - wearing stetson spurs and everything, and a woman sits beside him and asks "Are you a real cowboy?"
"Well mam" he says, "Each day I have broken in colts, lassoed stallions, rode across the plains with thousands of head of steer, done myself a bit of shootin' - and am pretty nifty with a canteen of coffee and can do a mean tin o' beans. So yeah, I guess I am real cowboy".
She says "Wow! Thank you for telling me. Just so you understand, I am a lesbian. I love women's company. When I get up, when I shower, when I eat, when I go to bed. Just can't stop thinking about them, and would really love to be more intimate with a woman"
Well the cowboy looks a little puzzled, but says "Really? Well ok."
Next a little boy sits down on the other side of the cowboy and asks "Are you a real cowboy?"
The cowboy thinks for a moment, then says "Well son. I thought I was. But now I know I am a lesbian."

Seemed like a pointless, bitchy aside - why mention MN at all? Don't recognise the threads she claims to reference. Hardly news that a site full of parents would have plenty of people who think affairs are A Bad Thing, whether you are planning to shag a man, a woman or a dog, for that matter.

I thought my mum (aged 65 at the time) put it rather well a couple of years ago - 'I'd rather like to be a lesbian, apart from the sex' (rather randomly over lunch).

She'd just spent a weekend away at a function where there were a few similarly aged lesbian couples, and I think she compared their lives of cats, shared interests, and discussions about loved books to my rather grumpy father who shares little interests with her, and had relationship envy

"Kelly McGillis (another recent midlife lezza)"

Surely Kelly McGillis came out years ago, and only a lowlife moron would refer to her in such a way?

Dear pile o' shite. You could always stop publishing, you know.

LordPan -are you the artist formerly known as Pan

and therefore a bloke?

LMAO at CMOT's mother!!

It's become the punch bag for snide journalists looking for inspiration.

About 3 years ago they were praising us saying we were witty, informed etc etc

No well but I do have a cess pit.
