He wants people to come for DNA tests and be a victim contestant stooge "guest" on the show .....though of course there's no obligation to be on the show should they do your free DNA test. Hmm

I could take the Mothercare invasion, the pram obsessives and the huns, but this is a step too far. On the plus side, maybe Matthew Wright will now consider us too low rent to bother with, arf!

Yours sincerely,

Horrified of Cheam

I have just reported the post in question

HauntedLittleLunatic · 13/04/2011 12:30

In fact I have just reported 3 posts.....I think MNHQ will get teh message

plupedantic · 13/04/2011 12:32

Did they post in media member requests?

YesWhat · 13/04/2011 12:33

I found four of them - wasn't sure if they were reportable, so to speak, but I suppose it should really go in media requests. One of the revived threads was a year old.

I was so tempted to start a thread called 'my ex is in prison, I don't know who the father of my baby is but I'm pretending it's my sister's husband because that's who I slept with last. please help me decide if I should give up cocaine or not and when I go shoplifting, if I put the swag in the babba's Buggerboo, will I get away wiv it because she's too young to stand up in court? Help me kind mumnsetters please'

but obviously all that would be in textspeak

I've just searched for the posts mentioned and am disappointed they are all carbon copies - same old story post repeated programme thread after programme thread

Much like the Jeremy Kyle Show Grin

YesWhat · 13/04/2011 12:35

not as far as I can tell plupedantic

He's trawling threads for relevant ones to post on - last one dredged up dated 2009.

lol Beaker

He's offering aftercare, but surely that'll be with that guy who looks like Gary Glitter?

I'd rather be traumatised.

Bet it's a troll not a bone fide Kyle researcher

YesWhat · 13/04/2011 12:41

True......what a great way to piss off a twatty ex Grin

'aftercare'....

i should bloody well think they do offer 'aftercare' after getting them to air their relationship greivances for entertainment

it's turned into a despicable programme, i'm guilty of having watched it when it was first screened, (didn't get out much, new baby etc) but i'd rather gnaw off my own arm than watch it these days.

plupedantic · 13/04/2011 12:58

Hmm at not posting in media requests. Maybe a sternly-worded letter from MNHQ, and a "special rate" they have earned! Grin Unless it is indeed a troll.
