Ah, now I've got your attention MNHQ; I can almost here the klaxon sounding from here.

I don't mean that F4J, I mean this one;

What's happening with our new topic? Eh? Eh?

Come on, give us our Outdoorsy Shite and we can clear out of 2010 and leave it for blokes to wander around nostalgically.

If you don't give us what we demand by Friday we will run an advert in the national press saying you are outdoors haters and tell all your advertisers, SO THERE!
love from Nadine, I mean Tunip

(though now I come to mention it there is a National Trust advert not two inches away. Just wait till we tell the National Trust you are prejudiced against people who wear walking socks! )

Adding my voice to the protest!

Yes we'll gather the might of the National Trust against you. Be afraid.

we will drive sheep into Mumsnet Towers

And lambs! You'll never be able to resist our pleas when uttered through the little pink bleating mouth of a spokeslamb.

Aww a spokeslamb.

With a wriggly little body and an ecstatically whirring tail!

And another thing.

We want Matt Baker on for a Q&A

Aaw - there's sheepy games and everything

We shall not, we shall not be moved! We shall not etcetera etcetera etcetera...

Obviously after paying due regard to camp lore and local byelaws.

Oh please MNHQ. We've proved we can look after a topic of our own and you won't be left feeding it and cleaning out for 8 years till it dies

There'll be no trolls or sock-puppetry here, we're very low maintenance.

There might be sock puppetry if we can find puppeting socks that wick properly, to keep the user's true identity cool and dry on heated threads

Cushioning too, to allow the user to accept blows with equanimity.

Ack, I have baby lambs here in Mumsnet's country outpost, don't try and make me melt with that one

Do you have a proper name for these nonpuppetting socks topic?
Other than outdoorsy shite?

I think we are probably open to suggestions, if the uncouthness of Outdoorsy Shite is the only remaining barrier. Or we could even think of some ourselves, if it would help.

Oh please, please, please call it outdoorsy shite!

We don't give a toss about uncouthness, I just wonder if other likeminded folk wouldn't know where to find you under your current proposed name.
What is it you want to talk about again? Non-wicking socks? What else???

Will also remind the powers that be about your request.

There are samples of the kind of thing in our polite and responsible sit in in World Cup 2010. It's generally things like outdoor clothing, interesting nature spots, favourite short walks with children or long distance paths. That sort of thing.

this was my favourite (till the last couple of posts)

Wasn't 'Outdoorsy Shite' suggested by RowansMumsnet in the first place?

Would this qualify as outdoorsy shite?

No, I think proper outdoorsy shite has to be from wild or farm animals.
