No, I don't think we want Fanny Nil's one, it doesn't have the smack of Countdown about it.

Pore ol Seven hasn't quite got it either.

It's been deleted, Pinot.

Apparently some people have taken this thread seriously...

is that how you spell manically?

BeyondLimitsOfTheLivingDead · 21/10/2011 16:19

Its gone.
Someone spectacularly missed the point!

grovel · 21/10/2011 16:19

Do MILFs belong on the list?

FellatioNelson · 21/10/2011 16:20

Tena Ladies MmeLindor, you forgot Tena Ladies. they may have been mentioned up this thread I haven't read.--

PinotScreechio · 21/10/2011 16:20

oh for the love of god.

Some bastard has stolen a lot of posters sense of humour recently.

Ooh that a MA thing, is it not - despairing?

Verm! List! Stat!

This 42 year old is still bringing up Primary school aged children. I think they see the point of me, as does DH.

Well, this 42 year old is also still bringing up Primary school aged children. But I also see the point of this thread. [hgrin]

BeyondLimitsOfTheLivingDead · 21/10/2011 16:21

I'm going though, I'm positively a whippersnapper and you're all old enough to be my mum [hgrin]
though the list is scarily appropriate!!

Mary, it really isn't very demanding...

TheVermiciousKnid · 21/10/2011 16:22

No, Pinot. I am done with the list. It was not appreciated sufficiently. :(

Sevenfoldedbloodybodies · 21/10/2011 16:23

I will show my age now, I feel like margo in the good life as I don't get it

grovel · 21/10/2011 16:24

I would volunteer to help with the list but it's pointless. And my contribution would be invisible.

quirrelquarrel · 21/10/2011 16:24

Well one could say that kids are bliddy pointless when the planet's full to bursting and the vast majority are all pretty much alike until they hit 18.

One doesn't though. one must...never...be antinatalist, otherwise one is the devil incarnate!

Proudnscary · 21/10/2011 16:24

What's been deleted? What the fuck's going on?? I demand to know.

PinotScreechio · 21/10/2011 16:24

I feel so bad about fucking it now. A bit dirty.

Mme Lindor! She's prolly folding her woollens.
We'll need clean pop sox for the Footgloves.

MadameWooOOoovary · 21/10/2011 16:27

Why has no-one mentioned oilcloth bookbags with prints of Van Gogh's sunflowers or somesuch? The print is always really wan and the colour of the fabric is always a dull beigey teal drabness.
Oh and 4711 cologne.
And a stale biscuitty-type smell (the stage before the smell of wee)

Can anyone hear me - what's been deleted??
