The "Down with this sort of thing" picket. There is a burger van and you can wear your donkey jacket and fingerless gloves

[KatieMiddleton]

Fed up of the cuts? Fed up of the mislead bigotry? This is your sanctuary. Unwind. Vent. Pop over to the frothers thread if you feel like getting organised and doing some proactive stuff or just chill out with a cup of builders tea in a polystyrene cup.

Welcome.

Ooo good. Te, can you bring your baby too?

If I didn't, I think he'd be very disappointed with DH's lack of boobs.

I do have to say that Shirl is my hero.

She is going great guns on all the benefits threads AND using proper figures and everything rather than just shooting them or calling them cunts.

Waiter-snogging and political blindsiding. What a gel!

Shirley I am impressed if you are still able to fight the good fight. I have had to retire for the day.
I will go back again with a fresh set of armour tomorrow. I just wanted a day off from the stupid.

Well. I can't let this rabid shit just sit there can I? Christ, some of my favourite people on MN are SUFFERING and to watch them derided and having scorn and GLEE poured over their situations makes me want to PUKE.

So. No choice plus giving up the fags makes me ragey

I wish some of the gloaters could spend just ONE DAY doing what I do and seeing what I see.

They would be horrified and off that high horse damn quick. I have to hide these threads as they upset me so much. Bastards.

you are much better at this online debating thing.

I just lose all ability to rationale and want to yell four letter words beginning with C at them.

I actually slammed a cupboard door the other day after that spat with Maypole and Kitchentroll.

Oh Val. I often descend into four letters, and I have just decided to completely ignore those who I believe to be too stupid entrenched to even bother providing any sort of remark other than veiled - or unveiled insults and myths.

I have also decided that it's ok for those people to hate me, or think I'm an arse - I'm not, and the people I give a shit about think I'm pretty cool. DYKWIM?

Some of my favourite words only have 4 letters

I bloody LOVE wine and cake.

and 'ginn'

Not the bloody old fashioned reading scheme books obv.

I fucking love Sloe Gin. I've got a bottle lurking in my cupboard Piste.

Where do you all come from then? I'm in Plymouth.

at your sloe gin

I absolutely ADORE sloe gin, I had this handy bottle on the side in my kitchen and I just used to swig out of it. No wonder it's empty.

Do you make it Shirl? My friend does and hers is bloomin lethal!

ok. I'll start it.

Who's up for it?

I will come if our car doesn't fail it's MOT on Friday.

And it's in London.

(I am somewhere between Oxford and Milton Keynes these days)

I have never had sloe gin.
I am a bit rubbish at drinking really.

Though i have made skittle vodka and it was awesome.

thanks Shirley. I was more annoyed that i had let this thing cause mea physical reaction to something she has written in the nether. She is no one. I don't know her or care what she thinks really. So to be so angry i slammed a door was the signal to step back i think.

not least because i am normally MNing from work

II'm a probable definite - shall we call to the frothers too?

I am happy for London but fear that this may be too far away for some of us - Shall we do a Saturday and FAAAR into the future which will reduce trainfares MASSIVELY?
