MN allows racism to stand

[amillionyears]

I have reported it 3 times today, 1 before 9am.
Heard nothing from them.

Timothy Buckinghamshire don't like admitting to Milton Keynes. Ssssh.

I actually thought this was a bit of a joke tbh.

Mad as a box of frogs is not fucking racist.

Some people are utterly mad.

i recall the mn duty of duty of care thread,the bloody minded refusal to listen
steadfastly asserting mn had duty care,and hurrumphing it would result in prosecution
and resolutely not accepting any posts to contrary

Of course not.

This is the most ridiculous thing I've seen on mumsnet to date.

You are being very unfair a million.

Courtesy of Wiki, LRD:

"some local people had hidden contraband barrels of French brandy from customs officers in a village pond. While trying to retrieve it at night, they were caught by the revenue men, but explained themselves by pointing to the moon's reflection and saying they were trying to rake in a round cheese.

The excise men, thinking they were simple yokels, laughed at them and went on their way. But, as the story goes, it was the moonrakers who had the last laugh. In the words of an anonymous Wiltshireman who recounted the story to writer Arthur Granville Bradley: ? Zo the excizeman ?as ax?d ?n the question ?ad his grin at ?n,?but they?d a good laugh at ?ee when ?em got whoame the stuff.?"

The Brandy being French is purely coinicidental btw

can I take this opportunity to stand up for Boxes, as a race?
especially cardboard ones which are becoming more of a minority.
Shame on the Box racists!!

Ive just come across the delightful phrase
Up and down like frogs in a bucket

So thank you millions. Without this thread I couldn't have added that slur phrase to my knowledge.

I told someone ds has a frog in his throat earlier.

Oh I like that, goats. And it's possibly nicer in polite company that "like a whore's drawers".

I'll say it again, I dont understand why a poster who dislikes mumsnet and the way that MNHQ run things enough to whinge about it constantly stays here. this might help

No nigella
Boxes really are as bad as everyone makes out

Was that the same poster, scottishmummy?

If so, I guess we can all point out the facts till the end of time, and still amillion just won't get it.

I have spent the whole day running around after an obnoxious, sickly, pox infested toddler. I so wish I'd been here instead. This thread is marvellous. My girl crush on Hully gets deeper and more embarassing by the day

I still say we need a Box Inclusion Policy.
To shut them up, if nothing else

Ohhhh ... I love that, jenai.

Wt ACTUAL F?!

You can't say mad as a box of frogs any more? But I AM as mad as a box of frogs.

And any jokes about Essex girls and I'll 'av ya!

OP, I mean this in the nicest possible way. But don't you think you constantly get the wrong end of the stick? I remember you accusing us of bullying Tee for hours even after she came and told you it was a joke she fully understood and participated in. And another thread where you had some MN Royalty conspiracy.

And now accusing Tufty and whoever else of racism on those grounds? really^?. tbh I can't believe MNHQ deleted 'mad as a box of frogs' but for you STILL to be banging on about it...

oh fuck is milton keynes in bucks not beds?

What a fail.

I do absolutely love your name, rudolph. Not relevant, but I keep thinking of saying it on serious threads where it wouldn't be appropriate.

Now Nigella
You're just not thinking outside the box... es

Bloody hell. Mad as a box of frogs is one of my favourite sayings. I use it all the time (but we don't talk about the time I told the doc I liked her because she was mad as a box of frogs and she replied 'actually, yes, I am bipolar" )

Amillionyears, seriously, you don't like MN. You have made that so very obvious. You complain about everything, you complain about MNHQ - who we actually LIKE - all the time.

Why do you stay?

There are a million and one other websites, a million and two other forums. Why do you stay here if you hate it so much?

You run the risk of becoming an object of ridicule, why would you put yourself through that?

duty of care saying I recall that thread was active on it,it's been suggested op was too
don't recall name,but it was hard going to try reason with skewed logic

Another crazy debate...very funny.
