I haven't read the whole thread I am so important I don't care if this has been said fifty times already, it's not been said until I've said it.

AIBU? give me some sympathy and agree with me

I don't mean any offence but... I am a twat

I'm not being rude but... I am a twat

There must be more. Snark away...

Have you name-changed for this?

If yes, I'm going to try to work out your usual posting name and out you, despite your attempt at anonymity.

If no, see Interesting first post.

AmandaPayneAteTooMuchChocolate · 04/04/2013 17:29

I have read the first four pages = I can't be arsed to read the whole thread but I don't want you all to tell me off for not reading the thread.

TheLightPassenger · 04/04/2013 18:38

That lack of paragraphs in your post makes it unreadable = I don't care how deeply distressed you are, I never miss an opportunity to be the grammar police on here.

ImTooHecsyForYourParty · 04/04/2013 19:12

Yawn = I'm a twat
'we' have done this before = I'm a twat
it's you're not your = I'm a twat
End of (intent - to end the discussion, Since they have spoken, the Last Word has been had) = I'm a twat

K8Middleton · 04/04/2013 19:46

Lolol. I am definitely going to read something on here and just see I'm a twat now.

Except when I read something pedantic about grammar that ignores the actual post as per Passenger's excellent example. Then I will read I'm a self important twat Grin

ImTooHecsyForYourParty · 04/04/2013 19:55

Is that a subtle 'We've done this before' Cestle? Grin

cestlesautres · 04/04/2013 19:56

Certainly not. I'm morally opposed to cliches and all who sail in them. Any campaign against them deserves my fervent backing, and I instruct you all to follow suit.

Pagwatch · 04/04/2013 20:01

awaits flaming or i'm going to get flamed for this

I am going to spout utter, utter bilge and, to offset your calling me on it, I am going to try and pretend I am a brave voice speaking truth to those who will not listen.

K8Middleton · 04/04/2013 20:32

Arse. I thought I was terribly original and cestle pops my fun bubble :(

I thought I was terribly original = I could be arsed to do even a basic search because I'm here all the bloody time.

K8Middleton · 04/04/2013 20:33

Couldn't be arsed.

Fucksticks.

Grin = I'm a twat
Wink = and so am I.

Tee2072 · 04/04/2013 21:16

Also:

This is a first world problem - I'm a twat.

Really, everything - I'm a twat.

But then I'm lazy I am trying to undermine people who don't make the same parenting choices that I do.

Lottashakingoinon · 04/04/2013 21:23

Hello my name is Lotta = I'm a twat!

TiredyCustards · 04/04/2013 21:25

paid into the pot = I'm a twat

NorthernLurker · 04/04/2013 21:26

Get a grip = you are utterly, utterly wrong, scarily wrong, Margaret Thatcher scale wrong but if I say what I really think of your particular brand of wrong a) I'll be here all day and b) I'll get banned so I'm hoping get a grip will work the miracle you so plainly need.

Lottashakingoinon · 04/04/2013 21:26

Seriously Custards what does paid into the pot mean I really am a twat

PacificDogwood · 04/04/2013 21:28

HTH - 'YABU. And a twat'

lougle · 04/04/2013 21:28

Dons hardhat = oooh this is going to kick off, I'm a right hard one, me.

Passes popcorn = I want to mark my place, but I know that K8Middleton has told everyone that 'marks place' = twat. If I pretend I have some popcorn, then I can mark my place by pretending I'm going to share.

I'm a namechanger, pombears, mitmoo, blah blah - I've been around for a while and I'm keen that you should know it because what I'm about to tell you is simply unbelievable.

"You can't disagree with a regular without all their clique piling in to have a go"

If people disagree, point proven.

If people agree, point proven.

Who's Cod' I KNOW who Cod is but it's always good for a ruck to ask......

NorthernLurker · 04/04/2013 21:32

'who is mumsnet royalty' = I desperately hope I am. Say me, say me!
