Hmm?

A few of us infiltrated GN today to post on the Vince Cable webchat and AvadventKalendar noticed that they have a [cupcake] emoticon.

With pink icing.

[huff]

ooooooooooooh, if they are Salted Caramel Cupcakes

Am enjoying the Gransnet/Mumsnet crossover. Are they not allowed to post on MN?

MNHQ

JosieMumsnet · 21/12/2011 17:07

Yep, we're allowed to post on MN, it's just that we have many christmas jumpers to knit important things to be getting on with .

Although it must be noted that we are unusually open to conversation about cake of any kind

AvadventKalendar · 21/12/2011 17:07

Would have thought grannies would prefer rock cakes or something [stereotype]

Give us yer cuppies!

Pinot · 21/12/2011 17:08

granny bosoms?

usualsuspect · 21/12/2011 17:11

OI , I'm a granny and my bosoms are lovely

Pinot · 21/12/2011 17:13

festive!

I can only recollect my Nanna who used to free-boob from 6pm ON THE DOT regardless of her J-size bangers and grandchildren staying at her flat.

Scarred. For. Life.

AvadventKalendar · 21/12/2011 17:17

I wonder what snacks Dadsnet have...

cazroz · 21/12/2011 17:19

ROFL Pinot (possibly nervous laughter)

Rock cakes surely not great if dentures are involved (NOT implying all grannies have dentures OBVIOUSLY)

Pinot · 21/12/2011 17:21

Oh gawd, Nanna had dentures too

MmeReindor · 21/12/2011 20:07

Ha. Pinot. Very good. I am going to be a granny who does that.

trulyscrumptious43 · 21/12/2011 20:09

Cupcakes bah. It's fairy cakes or nothing.
Cupcakes are a vehicle for margarine, bleuch.

HoneydragonAteCliffRichard · 21/12/2011 20:40

stoopid plural

MmeReindor · 21/12/2011 20:46

Gransnet has just tweeted this thread so ready yourself for a knitted jumper-clad invasion.

Someone grab the biscuit tin.

HoneydragonAteCliffRichard · 21/12/2011 20:48

Righto Mme we shall put our differences aside and band together for the greater good

crazycrackernanna · 21/12/2011 20:50

MmeReindor · 21/12/2011 20:51

We had better. Those Grans can be rather tricky customers. If they decide to invade, we have got no chance.

Pinot · 21/12/2011 21:01
