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. :)

RatherBeOnThePiste · 02/12/2011 16:08

yes and taking a cut too - how can anyone think that is the right thing to do?

All this Twitter stuff is right over my head Blush

MmeLindor. · 02/12/2011 16:09

You can do @frothers and have the name TooManyCuts on Twitter.

Like I am @mmelindor / SaltandCaramel.

Better a shorter name to leave room for RTing.

I like frothers, it is punchy. And unusual so that people will stop and look.

I am happy to be co-twitter person, am around most of the day or on iPhone.

MmeLindor. · 02/12/2011 16:11

FB name same as blog, imo. TooManyCuts (if you can get them to do that)

Are you setting FB up as a page? Might be better, cause you can have unlimited "likes".

KateMiddIeton · 02/12/2011 16:14

Lovely. That's Twitter sorted then. MmeL is co-Twitteree. Do we have another? I already have two accounts on the go so an extra person would be good for when I am watching Father Dowling Mysteries busy.

I am looking at pictures of froth for our avatar. The exciting life I lead! Will post some bits on profile to have a look at.

KateMiddIeton · 02/12/2011 16:26

Yes FB will be page.

AnyFucker · 02/12/2011 16:30

Signing in to new thread

Boy, there are some seriously clever people on this thread

I am away from t'internet until Sunday evening now (what a bloody crap activist I am Blush )

I ^will be be baaaaack" though

Happy frothing, chums. I love you all.

AnyFucker · 02/12/2011 16:31

will be baaaack

cocked that up, didn't I ?

KateMiddIeton · 02/12/2011 16:32

Can you have a look at this in-progress FB page please? www.facebook.com/pages/Too-Many-Cuts-Frothers/209710619105223?skip_nax_wizard=true

KateMiddIeton · 02/12/2011 16:34

Now I'm looking at the Facebook page and the Blue-Peter style cobbled-together logo and I'm thinking there is a N missing...

Surely it should be:

Too many CuNts has made us frothers? Wink Grin

MrsChristmasDB · 02/12/2011 16:41

Just to say I think what you are all doing is wonderful.

I am also a useless person with twatter etc....so I am admiring from afar.

If you ever need anyone to march with a placard though, just yell !

Hassled · 02/12/2011 16:42

I'm too tired and frazzled to be articulate. But I'm frothing inside. Was very frothy re the delay in sorting tax on private jets - I know it wasn't going to raise more than a tiny drop in the ocean in terms of revenue, but as a nod in the direction of the disgruntled masses it was important.

And I have lots to froth about re stealth cuts in education - yes, we'll keep the pupil-specific funding in place but we'll make the LAs so cash-poor that they're forced to withdraw some of the support they usually provide. And schools will have to buy it in instead.
I do like the blog.

KateMiddIeton · 02/12/2011 16:44

Hurray you're both here!

Can everyone come and like the FB page at some point so we can get a natty URL thingy?

We need people to tell us stuff like that Hassled. There's so many cuts it's impossible to keep a track of everything but the more eyes on it the better.

MrsChristmasDB · 02/12/2011 16:47

I don't 'do' FB, so I can't help in that way either.

Sorry.

But I am frothing. Madly. I promise. Xmas Grin

RatherBeOnThePiste · 02/12/2011 16:48

Actually KateMiddIeton, I'm thinking cunts is even more appropriate Grin

MmeLindor. · 02/12/2011 16:54

Ha. Yes to the missing N.

Logo is great.

Hassled · 02/12/2011 16:54

I do like the FB page lots but I haven't "liked" it because I'm having a mild panic re RL/Mumsnet worlds colliding etc. I'm being a bit ridiculous, aren't I?

KateMiddIeton · 02/12/2011 16:58

Give it a few minutes and a few more likes and it'll be impossible to make a link between RL and MN.

AnyFucker · 02/12/2011 16:59

liked the FB page (and frothed a bit)

Hullygully · 02/12/2011 17:00

I've like it.

I've managed something

Still waiting for garlic to activate me blog-wise.

Hullygully · 02/12/2011 17:00

liked

Hullygully · 02/12/2011 17:01

how do i friend it?

AnyFucker · 02/12/2011 17:01

hassled, you could make another FB account

I have a RL FB and an "MN facebook" account (due to some other stuff I do on FB I don't want the whole world to see)

KnottyLocks · 02/12/2011 17:11

Doesn't AF make her FB page sound interesting? Grin

SoftKittyWarmKitty · 02/12/2011 17:17

It's me that gets £25pm MmeLindor. I've spent over 5 years chasing the CSA for a reassessment and now I eventually have it, my ex refuses to pay the increased amount and won't divulge his employer etc - in short he's totally non-compliant. I simply don't know where to turn. I'm tired, so tired of fighting, and am close to tears as I type.

Best thing is, he only has to pay that for a certain amount of time and when that time runs out, unless they can somehow force him to pay the reassessed amount, I'll receive nothing.
