I hate stealth home made lard bird seed cake boast posts.

Slubber did you make sure you decommissioned the condemned home made lard bird seed cakes properly? So that the birds don't just eat them from the bin. That would be an insult to your home made lard bird seed cake.

I'm quite hurt at this thread, to be honest.

I saw someone make a nasty, bitchy and playground-like comment at another poster and called her on it, whilst doing the decent thing and explaining why I'd reported. That led to her and some others taking the piss out of me for standing by MN's procedure.

Now, don't get me wrong, I'm not pset as in boo hoo crying, but I am pissed off that I've spent many long minutes telling people not to be so daft when they accuse MN of being bitchy, and of certain posters 'bullying' others - I had thought it was nonsense. But it's so easy to see, just in a tiny snapshot of a thread like this that some posters and their friends are quite incapable of behaving like grownups.

Shiney, think about it. Think about how your post will have read to the OP. I know you're not an uncaring bitch, so why are you acting like one?

The cake thread had the potential to be hurtful - as someone says on the original thread, it had the potential to go into DV or mental health territory. Just because nobody posted about their own experience doesn't mean they didn't think it, so none of us can know whether it actually did hurt someone.

Can i join mn roylaty? Would like to wear a crown. 'Specially a sparkly one.

What do I have to do for it? I'll marry someone, hand oout flyer. Make tea and stuff.

[Slubberdegullion]

Floaty, I threw my home made lard bird seed cakes vengefully into the snow and shook my fist impotently at the bird-free sky. 'That'll show them' I thought angrily and hurtedly. Now I have to go and hang them all up again as it was all a great big fib. Let's hope those wood pigeon porkers haven't got to them.

[ExitPursuedByABear]

I don't get the Mambo and 5th joke.



Has anyone got the lemon drizzle cake recipe? I once made one with a top so hard it needed a drill to cut it. Didn't stop us eating it though.

[ExitPursuedByABear]

Moln You can't join royalty my dear. It grows on you.

Tell me something that doesn't.

Boiled eggs?

Stale Ryvita?

It's a minefield.

[TantrumsAndBalloons]

The song exit "mambo number 5"??

[Moln]

I dont get it either Exit. We shall have to be thick in tandem.

[HoneyDragon]

Fuck you and your stale Ryvita Hully. How could you?






[sorry. Couldn't resist. Also thought Loops just made a bloody good point too]

[BIWI]

Anything here has the potential to develop into something completely ridiculous.

But that thread didn't.

Where have you been?!

[Moln]

Like mould Exit¿ or maybe fur. Possibbly feathers

[ExitPursuedByABear]

Nope - still don't get it.

I smashed a bottle of soy sauce on the kitchen floor last night. It was knocked out of the cupboard by the ryvita box, so I find you comments quite hurtful Hully

[weegiemum]

There's nothing wrong with being a Geography teacher



(yes, I am one!)

(I'm even female!!)

[ExitPursuedByABear]

Don't mention Mould

[IWorshipSatin]

Hully - agreed, but my point is that no group of people have the right to say what is or isn't hurtful to another group of people

[HoneyDragon]

Are you blaming the Ryvita for pushing the Soy sauce?

You should have an inquiry surely? Should the Ryvita be let off?

[frasersmummy]

there are personal attacks on this thread and therefore should be and has been reported

If you see someone being personally attacked it is the right thing to do .. it is not and never will be the right thing to say .. its nowt to do with me.. that way lies a very bad road

[TantrumsAndBalloons]

But no one mentioned mental health or DV did they?

No one opened up to the OP about their own terrible experiences of their DHs eating cake, having no birds, or anything of the sort.

Ive said this before, anything can potentially upset someone. Does that mean no one can joke anymore?

[ExitPursuedByABear]

Yes I am blaming the ryvita. Bloody Crispbreads. No fecking manners.

[Porkster]

Bit it was just a bit of fun!

Even those who believed it, enjoyed the bundle, I think.
