Childbirth: If I'm not out in 48 hours, will I have to be induced?

Relationships: DP keeps messaging me from the surface to say that he can see himself on telly. Is he narcissistic?

Good Housekeeping: Can't be bothered to shift rubble from tunnel entrance. Am I a slattern?

(etc. ...)

Employment issues: flowery? Are you around? I'm not contracted to work overtime, but due to work conditions have been forced to be onsite for 65 days. Do I have any grounds to claim additional payments?

It's too soon for a dh/om joke, isn't it?

Tippychoocks · 14/10/2010 19:03

AIBU to think that the crying family reunions should be restricted to those who actually need to be there? The rules clearly state parent and child reunion not parent and stonking great teenager reunion......

One of my fellow miners has a larger flat rock than me and a leather belt. AIBU to suspect them of benefit fraud and notify President Seb?

YouKnowNothinoftheMonsterMunch · 14/10/2010 19:09

Aibu to be pissed off that seb didn't hug me?

Stupid things not to do - get stuck in a mine for 2 months and forget to clock in.

Am I the only one who did this? and will I get overtime and double time for the nights and weekends?

Acekicker · 14/10/2010 22:08

AIBU to complain about the bloody media reporters who insist on parking their satellite trucks across the entrance to the escape shaft?

SpurtingJugulars · 14/10/2010 22:14

Book club - Do you think there's a follow up MN publication pregnancy..... babies..... toddler....... getting stuck in a mine. Film deal anyone?

Eleison · 14/10/2010 22:17

Could call it 'The Mumsnet Guide to Getting Shafted'

The precursor to them all - none of the others would happen without the shafting, huh!

What a fab thread - topical, fun and ran its natural course!!!

RiverOfSleep · 15/10/2010 08:26

I have been invited to be trapped down a mine but the invitation says strictly no children. I called the mine owners who said its because there is no space and they have to pay ££££ for children's meals. They even said to treat it as a nice break from the children. AIBU to think that being trapped down a mine is all about families and that the mine owners should make an exception for my DC?

Relationships: He told me he was single - cuntingtwating dp

pushchair shed: where can I find a double capsule?

StayingDavidTennantsGirl · 15/10/2010 11:23

AIBU to want to stay down here until two days before Christmas, so that dh has to do all the christmas shopping unaided, and write all the christmas cards, do all the posting, and plan all the meals, so that all I have to do when I get out is to swan in and enjoy it all?

bramblebooks · 15/10/2010 12:28

Grinding and Tunnelling, Iona.

My favourite so far: Mumsnut Thu 14-Oct-10 14:46:31
My MIL wants to greet me at the top. I sooo want it to be just me, dh and our baby for the first few days. How can I dissuade her?

AIBU to gloat over my mooncup now?

QOD · 15/10/2010 16:45

this has GOT to go in classics

anonymosity · 15/10/2010 17:57

It would be Lord of the Flies & Fight Club.

Eleison · 15/10/2010 20:27

I feel quite frightened by the very thought of an MN version of Lord of the Flies. It would be a bloodfest.

anonymosity · 15/10/2010 23:11

I think it already is a bloodfest, regularly...
