How many of us actually meet Shona's little sidekicks criteria?
She states that all of us on Mumsnet are in our 30s, living in London and have a degree. How many people here meet that criteria?
How many are popping prozac depressed at the shit life we now have with kids?
Damn that woman is nasty!

You cannot show off about a man I' m afraid. We want women with their own glory not reflected glory and now women who are just powers behind the throne. They need their own throne - much more fun.

The island is available for hire and is lots of fun. Some

See what women can have if they work hard at school and pick work they like which pays well. It all comes down to feminism at the end of the day.

I suspect the thread proves it is very hard to generalise about those posting. I suppose one basic point is if you cannot write and find reading hard you tend not to be on websites or if you cannot afford computers or a smart phone and I hope none of us forget that a good few people in the UK including women cannot read and/or cannot afford a computer or access to it.

Yeah, if we all just worked hard at school and picked work that we liked and pays well, we'd all have -

shit, i see a flaw in this plan.

Arithmetic was not your strong point at school, was it, xenia! Grin

So many deserving women, so few private islands.

UptoapointLordCopper · 14/04/2013 13:40

I quite fancy a private island. I would like an honorary degree too, though I already have two. You can never have too many degrees. Where can you get one? Spill, LRD.

I have worked hard and picked a job that I really really like but it doesn't pay all that well. Something has gone wrong somewhere. Confused

LRDtheFeministDragon · 14/04/2013 13:43

You can have mine - I'll just send you a badly-spelt email and a request for large sums of money into my paypal account. It's how Gillian McKeith did it, isn't it?

True, true.

ComposHat · 14/04/2013 14:07

Xenia you do realise that putting up that link makes your real identity visible?

If you don't mind, fair enough, but I certainly wouldn't want my real life self splattered all over Mumsnet.

LadyBeagleEyes · 14/04/2013 14:13

Do you never tire of boasting Xenia?
I don't understand why someone as self important as you actually has time to MN.

Sparklingbrook · 14/04/2013 14:15

That Island is nothing like I imagined.

ComposHat · 14/04/2013 14:19

Sparkling yeah I thought it was a bit shite to be honest. Not a patch on Canvey Island.

Sparklingbrook · 14/04/2013 14:23

Looks a bit remote. Where's the amenities?

mrsjay · 14/04/2013 14:24

xenia you do realise the link to your island outs you I am a bit dissapointed i was conviced you were Katie thingy but your not oh well

LRDtheFeministDragon · 14/04/2013 14:29

Don't be so mean, it's a lovely island and I'm sure xenia is right to be very proud of her hard work.

AmandaPayneAteTooMuchChocolate · 14/04/2013 14:33

I quite like the island, wouldn't say no.

How does it out her ? I mean, I assume it's not hard to find out who owns an island if you're committed, but the link doesn't say who owns the various sites does it?

Sparklingbrook · 14/04/2013 14:39

Does the island have a shop?

mrsjay · 14/04/2013 14:42

I just went to a link on google and it brought up a whole list of things relating to the owner honestly i didnt go looking Grin

LadyBeagleEyes · 14/04/2013 14:44

Yes, me too Mrsjay.
I now know more than I ever wanted about her, and I only wanted to see the island.
It's a tiddly little thing isn't it Wink.

ComposHat · 14/04/2013 14:51

So Xenia is
a) lax when it comes to private information
b) doesn't understand how the Internet works
c) isn't who she claims she is.

Either way it isnt exactly a huge endorsement of her professional competence.

mrsjay · 14/04/2013 14:53

It is more of a few big stones LBE than an island Grin it is nice though

bunnymother · 14/04/2013 14:57

All those who own a private island better than Xenia should feel free to sneer.

LadyBeagleEyes · 14/04/2013 14:59

How do you know I don't bunnymother?
I just don't like to boast about it Smile.

bunnymother · 14/04/2013 15:03

I don't know that you don't. You may. So may I, but I think it's mean to make negative comments on her island. She's worked hard for it, and should be proud of her achievements. As should we all, I think.

bunnymother · 14/04/2013 15:05

Dear me - I'm not terribly original, as LRD said the same thing, only first. [bleats]
