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:
ShirleyKnot · 02/12/2011 23:28

Have you looked at the Campaign topic?

MmeLindor. · 02/12/2011 23:39

Not for a while. I know they used to move them. Did they say why they were movign your thread.

MmeLindor. · 02/12/2011 23:48

ok, had a look. I see what you mean .

I have posted. Am away all tomorrow and won't be back till late but will have a proper look at the campaign and post on my blog on Monday about it.

CardyMow · 03/12/2011 01:52

My brain hurts from number crunching. Just thought I would add that.

I am frothing on your behalf, if you need a rest, Shirley!

I'll get to FB in a minute. I'll get to bed soon...

CardyMow · 03/12/2011 01:56

Right - am on fb as HuntyCat. Can't get the fb link to come up when I search though. Can someone friend me, so I can like it through their page?!

The technology has me beaten, tonight, I think.

CardyMow · 03/12/2011 02:02

Ah! Got it! Frothing on fb now. Grin

The blog thing is still eluding me though. I'm off to bed now, can someone either post or PM me an idiots guide to getting from the page where it says 'Blogs you are following' to being able to actually follow the blog?

I may need step-by-step instructions. I admit I am crap at all this tech stuff. I am going to get some sleeeeeeeeep now.

MmeLindor. · 03/12/2011 06:21

Huntly
There should be a button at the top left to click 'follow' (I think)

But since google is deactivating this service soon I wouldn't worry about it.

Had an idea on how this might work. How about we have the main blog post with follow on blog posts elsewhere the rest of that week?

So, eg. with Shirley's initial CSA blog, we follow that up with those who have blogs writing about this issue for a week, lots of tweeting and FBing. With links to where to protest.

More organised than scattergun approach.

PrincessFiorimonde · 03/12/2011 06:48

I'm just signing in to the thread. Especially to register my like of this:

'WE OWNED THE PRODUCTION AND SUPPLY OF POWER ONCE. THEN IT WAS SOLD TO US. NOW IT'S BANKRUPTING US.'

Thanks Hully!

And thanks to ALL of you for starting this.

Am not so nifty with the Twitter stuff (understatement or what?), but am trying to learn...

PS MmeLindor, love the blog. And Shirley, great blog too, and please don't cry; you really have people thinking re: CSA.

Hullygully · 03/12/2011 09:13

I'm still waiting for garlic to sort me out...

unless anyone else can help?

doodledrawers · 03/12/2011 09:22

Have been lurking on this wonderful thread and am now committing myself as a frother. Facebook page liked, so am now off to the previously unexplored slopes of Twitter. I may be some time.... Grin. I'm a statistics / research type, so may be able to help with number crunching stuff.

Hullygully · 03/12/2011 09:22

SHIRL!

Come on now. We are made of sterner stuff. We shall overcome if we refuse to give in and we satnd shoulder to shoulder.

Hope you are feeling bette this morning...

Hullygully · 03/12/2011 09:23

Bette Davis that is

BIWI · 03/12/2011 09:39

I am Shock and Angry at the whole CSA thing. In my tiny little naive mind I had thought that the recent restructure of the CSA was to sort all that stuff out, but it would appear not.

Can I add fulminating to my seething and frothing?

(And please can someone tell me how I become listed as a contributor to the blog? My blog has been included, but not my name on the list of contributors) [needy]

doodledrawers · 03/12/2011 09:45

OK, am now on Twitter as doodledrawers (imaginative, eh?) and have found a few of you to follow. Will resume later - rumblings from upstairs so I think parenting may be required!

BIWI · 03/12/2011 10:03

Tsk. Children are so demanding, aren't they? Wink

FontSnob · 03/12/2011 10:10

I realise this isn't political but I'm bloody frothing about the fact that the threading lady has stolen half my eyebrow. Not the half she was supposed either, might I add. Gah.

BIWI · 03/12/2011 10:11

Oh, just one more thing for all you new-to-Twitter Tweeple - upload a picture for your avatar, rather than just having the egg - doesn't matter what it is really - just adds more to your 'presence'

Hullygully · 03/12/2011 10:14

We're both waiting here, BIWI.

We need GARLIC.

GAAAARRRRRRLLLLICCC!

ShirleyKnot · 03/12/2011 10:15

Chuh!

I'm fine. I think the wine anger completely overwhelmed me last night.

I'm not great at dealing with Angry and it often turns to tears.

I'm ok. Sorry for being a twat! Grin

BIWI · 03/12/2011 10:18

You are not a twat at all! You are a lovely person of the loveliest order.

And I'm not even pissed and I'm telling you I love you Grin

Hullygully · 03/12/2011 10:20

Rage Shirl, tis the rage. Tis righteous and good.

You aint no twat.

I owuld say I love you but I'm British.

ShirleyKnot · 03/12/2011 10:30

Aw.. You GUYS! Grin

Right not much time for frothing today, I'm baking cupcakes to cheer myself up.

Have a good day frothers.

Mwah

FontSnob · 03/12/2011 10:41

Your knot a twat (see what I did there) I think we need more anger. Anger fuels change if it's channeled properly.

KateMiddIeton · 03/12/2011 10:48

Ooh a day off from frothing? Like a Soothing Saturday? Sounds like a good idea. Frothing is wearing. Glad you're feeling better Shirl. My toddler decided to have a poorly person tantrum just when it kicked off and could only be comforted by putting me in a sweaty headlock with arms pinned by my sides - hard to type that way Grin

Hully I can make you a mod on the FB if you need a taste of power until Garlic sorts you out? Just pm your FB name and I'll add you.

I may start a thread with the blog, twitter and FB details and a brief manifesto summary somewhere with a bit more traffic. It'll get deleted but it will get attention at least.

KateMiddIeton · 03/12/2011 10:49

Welcome new frothers and lurkers Smile
