I used to think that I was a good writer. But, since joining MN, I have to face the sad realisation that this is untrue. If I comment on a thread, it dies, and if I start a thread, no one answers! I give up. I know I am a good reader, I will stick to that from now on....

Aw thanks amazing! Having problems with a chipped granite worktop and an 8mo who thinks I'm a human dummy, but have just noticed a reply to my granite issue so hoping baby one will also get noticed! Meanwhile I'm doing my civic duty by adding to the 'threadcount' here!

SoggySummer · 21/05/2013 16:43

Yeah - just confirms my suspicions. I am obviously a dullard!! Sad

shufflehopstep · 21/05/2013 16:49

That happens to me too OP.

I've been on MN since about June last year and I regularly kill threads or have nobody respond to ones I start.

I've recently discovered however, how to check the most up to date threads and have discovered the Classics thread so have worked out some of the in-jokes.

Tanith keep it coming, that's the beauty of this thread!

I'm wondering how to do Picasso

cubism ??? ?

Tanith · 21/05/2013 19:08

Errrr...

Maybe we should ask Mumsnet Towers for a new emoticon Wink

Iteotwawki · 21/05/2013 19:19

SoggySummer why? Nothing on this thread is dull, you are on this thread therefore you are not dull :)

Moving on from Art (cheers Tanith) to logic as I am a philistine.

I like that impressionist style of painting with dots though (pointillisme?) -

I like your version better. Looks like a sad lollipop - very fitting to the thread.

Let us all gloom together and contemplate the unfairness of ignored threads
