This is such a bitchy website

[adamadamum]

I have had enough of the bitches on this site. I know there are plenty of nice, genuine mumsnetters too but too many bitches. I am ending my membership.

no no no noooo, i don't have a problem with your name At All, you do... it's just not very memorable, do you see? so if you want to be noticed then you have to be noticeable. i was only responding to the fact that you said you felt stepped over, that's all.
and where i come from no-one says Haitch, so it's something i've never come across until coming here where people asked me if i feel strongly about pronouncing it aitch and that was the reason for my name. which it isn't, it's just my initial is all. i don't think it's memorable or a particularly good name, but i run a website as well so i'm a bit stuck with it (or variations thereof) cos otherwise it would be very confusing.

I can't help thinking this has become a rather Bigger Thing than i intended...

wanna go to bed, but love a good argument, sorry, conversation! You said you run a web site, is it a business? Would love to go head to head again some time. It was fun, wasn't it? I plan to stick with the name, sometimes it's good to have a low profile . Hope to lock horns with you again soon. LOL.

but i haven't been arguing or locking horns, seriously. seriously seriously. [baffled]
it's not a business, no, in fact it costs me money, tbh. but i like doing it so i don't mind.

Thought might change my name to 'sarahaitch' (actually my initials!)

awd, i seem to have pissed you off, sarah. i assure you that really wasn't my intention.

Takes a bit more than a conversation to piss me off! No really, I like your honesty. I bear no ill will, and trust you are the same. At least I'm not being ignored .
I am just getting used to the site and think its great, slowly becoming an addiction to me, especially as DH works away so much, and not always possible to have a real social life!

good, see you around then. am off to bed.

and PMSL at 'slowly becoming an addiction'. took about a day and a half for me.

good night aitch

The funny thing is, aitch, that i actually thought adamadamum's name was really Good and Memorable (to quote 1066 and all that) - maybe because my DH is a massive Adam Adamant fan.
Maybe you're just too young to remember Adam Adamant....

i am definitely too young to remember adam adamant. was he like Jason King? i do remember adam ant, if that's any use. so you reckon adamadamum and adam adamant are related, then? some capitalisation might sort that out. AdamAdamum? i am now reading the middle as ayda, though, like the old ladies' name. hmmmm. tricky one.

are you rustybear btw? how bloomin' old are you?

dO YOU MEAN aDAM aNT?

definitely goodnight this time.

who is adam adamant?

Has someone offended you? This wesite contains alotof views and opinions and worries of parents, what is it that you have experienced that is so bitchy?.

Adam AdamantLives! was a 60s Avengers-type TV show - created by the same team as Dr Who Adam was a Victorian upperclass gentleman, pillar of Victoriam morality who was frozen & thawed out in the swinging 60s & ended up solving crimes. Starred Gerald Harper & Juliet Harmer. Maybe I'm wrong, but I assumed that was the origin of the name, so it's always read that way to me.

And yes I am RustyBear - I changed for the latin names thread and like Cinderella I have reverted after midnight.
I am 51 btw....

Ah! A forerunner to Austin Powers!

what's in a name anyway? How about a bit of support for adamadamum. Sounds like she needs it. I don't have any advice but maybe some one out there can find something to say that might make her feel welcome.

Oh yes, Austin was a total rip-off as far as the initial plot idea was concerned. Not a lot of resemblance after that however......
