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?

I have managed to go to Tescos twice today and I still have no milk and no crisps. The children are complaining.

I do have wine and poncy cheese though

I wasn't deleted and I was extremely naughty.

I have lifted milk out of the freezer and it is defrosting, so there will be milk for my cuppa in the morning.

And I did tell the ingrates that if they wanted to get money from my purse they could walk to the shop. They whined. And said it's too far and too cold because of course at 15 you don't wear a fucking coat but that's a WHOLE NUTHER THREAD so I said well suck it up I am not going to the shop again for you you came with me this morning if you wanted stuff you should have said.

Teenagers play havoc with the meal planning strategy. You think you have steak in the fridge for tea and then you find that DS was a bit hungry after school so he just cooked it and ate it all in a bap with onions and red sauce. And then ate his dinner.

SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius · 28/03/2013 20:00

Tufty - could you ask on your local freegle, to see if anyone has some of the McD's toys to spare?

I had a friend who had squillions of bloody Hama beads for her ds, and had sorted them all out into all their different colours. One of my dses managed to spill the boxful, so we swept them up, and she and I had to sort the little feckers out into their separate colours again. I lost the will to live.

LaQ I started a thread pointing out the fatal and rather vicious inconsistency of insisting people apply benefits online then not letting them spend social fund money on internet access, ie. retricting vouchers to certain retailers for certain items. Ie.no fags or booze or crack nor nuffink. bastards. had an attack of the undeserving poor Po.

Chubfuddler · 28/03/2013 20:01

Katie linked to it a few posts ago. It's about benefits claims going all online and the difficulties that will cause.

There are some fucking cold people in this world aren't there on that thread? I gave up half way through. Clearly a particular poster has a significant othering issue and cannot conceive of what it is like to be anyone but herself.

Chubfuddler · 28/03/2013 20:02

Your thread about holiday cottages got deleted though laqueen. That was epic.

I mean horrid Po posters who want people who are poor to eat dirt and stuff. hopefully twigs and pebbles and shit but i daresay not. now that would be real upcycling. feed the unworthy poor on passe deco.

Freddiemisagreatshag · 28/03/2013 20:03

And (on a roll pardon the pun) when you tell DS that he's just eaten ALL the steak that was going to feed EVERYONE for dinner he looks at you with these puppy dog eyes and says he didn't realise. And when you say how did you not realise that the bap was 2ft thick with the amount of steak he says "But you're always telling me to see to myself and stop expecting you to do everything"

Tee2072 · 28/03/2013 20:03

I can't believe I have not been told to LT non-chocolate ice cream and wine leaving B.

Perhaps I'm invisible today...
