Somtimes this site is like a giant jacuzzi filled with pure oestrogen

[policywonk]

...and tonight is an example. Can you imagine a man-centric site displaying such excitement, joy, fear and disapproval because someone reformatted its talkboard?

BTW, I'm not saying that the oestrogen-jacuzzi vibe is a bad thing.

what an evocative description !

I've changed mine back to MN classic. Call me a grumpy old sow (yeah I know, bring it on), but when I tried to flip so that the most recent message was at the top of the screen, it wouldn't play ball.

I can cope with the newness ... but I can't cope with trawling through the pages.

But did I complain?

Nah

but you can do that, you can set it so it is permanently flipped.
grumpy old sow silly sausage.

It's changed sooo much since I joined up, I remember the days before we even had the sceptical face smiley and everything was just so simple!

Well, I no longer need to worry about 'flipping'. I am back to normal.

daft --old- twit lovely woman

I don't like customise with a z. It's just plain wrong.

[fussy old bint emoticon]

I don't particularly like it either, which is why I checked.

I assumed that the 'Z' was an Americanism. Not so. It says so in the OED, so it must be right!

If you look back to old English texts, it was littered with 'Z's'.

Anyone studying old English text would probably agree .... zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

You are so right, wonks.

You are so absolutely right.

And so many others are plain Wrong

OED does everything with a z, 'tis why I prefer Chambers, at least it gives you a choice...

hi desi xx

Which do was that? The swinging thread? Or when you were pounced on by a fast-attacking munter?

Hi, Wisty

Yes, Pointy, the swifto-munter. How fecking bizarre.

But hey ho! Dh has just produced a home-made shepherd's pie, so needs must .....

what the feck dickens is a munter. I too thought it looked wrong with z's.

flip doesn't work for me either. how can i do it so it is permanently flipped?

It's gorgeous. And even it it wasnt, it can be sorted.

I wonder how some people can afford the time to get their knickers in a twist about such trivialities

LOL at fast-attacking munter and swifto-munter. What did I miss last night? I'm not here much lately and it's amazing how quick you lose touch.

Yes, what munter. The last thing I saw, Desi was talking about The Jerk (I think).

Oh NO! What is this "Page 1 of 3" business?????!!!!

Still don't know what a munter is.

Des was actually being very reasonable, and I'd even go so far as to say she sounded quite intelligent and caring.

Then in flew winky, lobbing grenades and bad-mouthing des.

T'was funny. When you think of all the times someone could justifiably flame des...

I have actually stopped usiong munter because it keeps gettin gme into trouble.

A munter is a highly amusing term for a mnetter. (Not my creation)

However, it also means ugly auld boot. Which I didn't realise till recently.

Poor Tech at the mercy of the moon and hormones !!
