Vote for Head Girl on Mumsnet

[wiltshirelass]

I vote for Codswallop. But only if she makes me a prefect and gives me some REAL POWER, like being biscuit monitor (no, M2T, you can't have one unless you ask NICELY)

This whole place has gone mad. MAD I tell you. I mean did anyone really think this was a serious thread? I mean no one voted for me except the other inhabitants of the blue cratered moon. Pah!

Don't spoil a fun thread!

(chants) go soupy go soupy. It had me Rofl - after all I have voted in three people based soley on bribery

Yes, let's delete everything, then fall on our swords....
WHAT ON EARTH IS OFFENSIVE ON THIS ONE, OH SLAVES TO CENSORSHIP?

i think intention is the key

i have no doubt that anyone deliberaly thought "i will set up a thread which will make people feel unpopular or uneasy and i will do it on purpose cos am a nasty nasty little mumsnetter"

i see the humour and my opinion (which i am entitled to) is that it is bad taste.

and honestly the argument dont read it then really isnt an argument but rather another way of saying bog off and leave us to carry on - well i will not.

No, I think "if you don't like it don't read it" is perfectly valid. Do you deliberately watch TV programmes you don't like?

Of course you're entitled to your opinion but by the same token, the posters who find this funny are entitled to theirs. It's not offending anyone at all. Except M2T who flounced off after cheating.

Surely the "How dodgy are you" thread is in much poorer taste. Competing to see who's committed the most crimes? How bad is that?!

oh my goodness, I disappear for a couple of hours and the world has gone MAD on my return! a more trivial, uncontentious, silly thread I cannot imagine (and I should know, I started it)... if you are too mature to find this funny, then go post on another thread. maybe one about PTAs or boards of governors or something.

HEY! Now I am offended - I am a governor and so is Finbar - we are So grown up and dont snigger throughout meetings...

Ooooh "Iiiiiii'm a governor!" Get you!

arent you Soupster? Comment was tongue in cheek. Its wuite good for gossip retrieval purposes

Ahh... My children aren't old enough for me to be a governer yet Besides, I've had my fill of committees from the work I've done for a well known charity.

I imagine you with school y kids. Hmm. funny.

OMG! I come across as being old enough to have school age children. Sob! I'm off to drown my sorrows in a hot bath with a glass of something cold...

dont think the tv is a good example but i see what you are saying. yes i could boycot this thread but i felt uneasy that this thread even existed and wanted to state my opinion ( maybe as i would write to points of view if the BBC f*cked me off)- thanks for accepting it and politley disagreeing and putting accross such a thoughful counter argument.

why must you be right? why cant other people have an opinion and state it without feeling like they are having their teeth kicked in with hob nailed boots which have stepped in shit?

maybe another way of answering may be - sorry its offensive it wasnt intentional at all - can see where your coming from etc
rather than a prevailing " its a joke you humourless deficient middleaged old cow" offensive attitude.

age?

quite right codswallop i picked up on "too mature to find this funny" age has nothing to do with being mature

thank you for pointing that out - take it the rest is correst then?

good night

Um... because you didn't say "Oooh, I'm terribly sorry but I find this makes me a little uncomfortable"? And then someone else waded in and said it should be deleted - now if that isn't assuming that they're right and everyone else is wrong I don't know what is.

And I'll have you know my boots aren't hobnails, they're pink fluffy bunny slippers and they're certainly not covered in s**t.

just trying to back up my argument about how everone is entitled to an opinion

like ur boots btw

oh, please!
custardo, may I recommend a nice hot bath to relieve the stresses of the day. I will also take my own advice on that, and while doing so shall ponder what on earth on this thread makes anyone think they have had their "teeth kicked in with hob nailed boots which have stepped in shit". hmmmmm.

Oh dear ....

And, tbh, I couldn't say "I see where you're coming from" because I don't. I genuinely don't see how anyone could have taken this seriously. I'm completely bewildered.

I vote for Custardo!

well I scored quite highly in the how dodgy are you thread so I could be vice prefect.

This is getting nasty ( again ) I'm off. Changed my name so I don't get a load of "dont leave" comments. Think it's all rather sad that opinions cannot be viewed without folk being pounced on. May you battle amongst yourselves
