Hello to all you #frothers
Thought I'd take the liberty of starting us a nice new thread as the other is getting rather full. :)

OP posts:

TeWiharaMeriKirihimete drop Garlic a PM and ask to be a mod.

We should deffo have Twitter and FB buttons to click to share and like. And if there is the possibility of an About Us page that would be great. I'd like to get some of the links from the first thread up as well because people are asking for information and petition links and the like.

Should we have a weekly action? You know so anyone who wants to do something but doesn't have much time/energy or whatever can go to and sign a petition or email a minister or similar?

KateMiddIeton · 02/12/2011 14:36

Quote of the week?

Better out than in.

Take note Lib Dems.

Do you want me to do some stuff for the blog until Hully can get on?

Shall I email MNBloggers?

ShirleyKnot · 02/12/2011 14:38

Hunty - I'm so sorry - and so ANGRY about it all today.

I don't think I'll ever get a pound. I provide for us and we're OK, but fuck me it's jarring sometimes.

We must fight these latest proposals though.

Right, Twitter experts. HELP!

I have a Twitter account for work. In order to set up a new account, do I need a different email? [seriously dense]

I can't have my current followers following my frothing.

CardyMow · 02/12/2011 14:42

S'ok - my sarcasm with Ex-H's 'generosity' knows no bounds...Grin

(He moans about paying the £1.36 / wk)

Hullygully · 02/12/2011 14:43

No, do do, Mme L.

My talents lie a lot more in the shouting dept.

CardyMow · 02/12/2011 14:43

Knotty - I set up a new hotmail account to froth from. Grin.

KnottyLocks · 02/12/2011 14:44

New email it is then. May as well tie it all in with the blogging one.

And dancing, Hully Wink

ShirleyKnot · 02/12/2011 14:45

Um - I have many many twitter accounts (I would set up a gmail account from which to froth)

TeWiharaMeriKirihimete · 02/12/2011 14:45

Hully - have you got a google/gmail account? Because you have to have one to use blogger.

lubeybaublely · 02/12/2011 14:46

Knotty get a gmail account then you can contribute to the blog (should you want to)

KnottyLocks · 02/12/2011 14:48

I'd like to, I think. I'd have to rein in my language a tad. I don't normally 'do' anger as such, it's a revelation!

LittleDonkeyhadaMadHairDay · 02/12/2011 15:11

Ah. Here we are.

Great post Shirley.
Will link on my blog (I think, if I can work it out. It's all getting too technological)

KateMiddIeton · 02/12/2011 15:44

Have posted a link to Shirley's post on my FB.

KateMiddIeton · 02/12/2011 15:51

Input needed: I am going to do the Facebook page and Twitter account.

What name please? The blog is Toomanycuts.blogspot.com are we sticking with ToomanyCuts or do we want Frothers in there somewhere? Frothing is getting a bit of attention. I can change the name later and once we have 25 followers we can choose our own URL, but once that's chosen we're stuck with it.

Also, who would like to be admins on FB? I can be one but we should have more.

And finally, who would like to have access to the main Twitter account? I think we should have central one that we can feed to but we'll need people to keep an eye, RT and engage with PMs.

RatherBeOnThePiste · 02/12/2011 16:01

Just seen this....Too many cuts in all the wrong places. Too bloody right. And Knots - I love your line : Better out than in. Take note Lib Dems. Again, too bloody right.

Feeling angry and frustrated by so many things. Nothing feels good at the mo.

Shirley - read your blog - really good, cannot believe that the CSA are to charge a fee? WTF I also had no idea that the non payment rates were so high. Appalling.

I think Twitter could be beyond me, I tried before, and mainly failed..

KnottyLocks · 02/12/2011 16:03

That's Kate's technical questions whistling over my head, that is.

KnottyLocks · 02/12/2011 16:03

Pistey Grin

KnottyLocks · 02/12/2011 16:04

CSA not just charging a fee: they are taking a cut too.

TeWiharaMeriKirihimete · 02/12/2011 16:04

Could make it FB "Frothers @TooManyCuts" or something like that?

But then you'd still have to decide whether you wanted twitter to be @Frothers or @TooManyCuts (at least it's easy to change on Twitter though.)

KnottyLocks · 02/12/2011 16:06

FrothingCuts?

Er, that does sound a bit dodgy though. No, scrap that.
