Spoofs, Jokes and Trolls

Right.

I want a serious debate about this.

I started a joke thread, in my own name as usual, about a neighbour stealing a spoon.

It was questioned as "trolling" and I got told off by Rebecca at MNHQ.

Are spoofs and/or jokes no longer allowed?

Since when?

And why?

What do people think about spoofs, jokes and trolls and the difference theereof?

Kate, stairs on the inside is always a bonus.
I found it hilly, bloody load of fuckers.
DS is crying because I made A BIG MISTAKE
everyone in the world (his school in small village has toys from McDonalds caked yoo hoos, little furry things. I promised we'd go to mcd's over Easter so he'd have some. But. The world moves fast and now Mcd's are onto the next thing. No more yoo hoos.
And I burnt DD's beads that she made and waited 4 days for me to cook. They're black now.
I'm just a bit shit.

Shock at Madame's thread. I despair, sometimes, at just how cruel other people can be.

In other news, I have gin and tonight will be an Indian takeaway.

And I'd just like to say Thanks and

TuftyFinch · 28/03/2013 19:34

It's not funny getoeuf! I'm going to have to recreate beads made by a 5 year old and cook them again. She keeps asking and I tell her they're still in the oven. Still in the oven. No! Don't open the door!!!
DS is just doing the silent tears thing now and sniffing. Bloody McDonalds! And I am also culpable. I know that.
Maryz, no drink on good Friday? Is thatcwhat Jesus wanted?

Is that a new poster, Madame? I haven't checked. And what were all hilly's posts about? They were all deleted, but nobody seemed to comment or reference them at all.

Too soon to say about money, Maryz, but we have had lots of great advice and are just deciding what our next course of action should be other than taking out a contract

GetOeuf · 28/03/2013 19:41

Oh no I am sorry tufty - I didn't realise the significance of the beads, or that dd had made them.

I felt very guilt when dd made this applique thing when she was little and I had to iron it on LOW and I had it set to linen and shrivelled the whole thing up and made it stick to the iron. And she cried piteously and I had to run to the loo to smother the laughter (god I am horrible).

He hasn't brought me chocolate ice cream or wine yet.

Should I LTB?

Freddiemisagreatshag · 28/03/2013 19:50

DD had made this terribly intricate patterned THING with fucking bastard bloody hama beads.

She showed it to me and I lifted it ever so carefully to carry it over to the ironing board.

And DS walked in, I jumped, and the fucking bastards went fucking everywhere.

DD howled and howled. I hate them feckers.

Right, my parenting skills shot list goes on:
DC had to decorate Easter bonnets, I printed off some pictures of chicks. Tick. I even cut them out. This morning they pritt sticked the chicks al over their hats (although it seems every other bonnet was made by parents. Anyway). Everyone hot an Easter egg. Happy DC. But...
I staring at their bonnets sitting on the table. The chicks look like they've got red beaks? Look closer, it's blood. They've decorated their bonnets with pictures of chicks that have had their beaks cut off. They've been on display all day for all the parents and teachers to see. Great.

BIWI · 28/03/2013 19:53

No, no, no Hully, not you! There's a poster called HillBilly76 or something. That's who I meant.
