Request for a board for those gaining a First class degree

Hi Mumsnet

Following on from the high earner's board request...

I’d like to propose a new message board dedicated to those of us who have achieved the elusive first-class degree. We need a place to gather and share our tales of academic glory and partake in intelligent conversation without having to wade through threads created by the undereducated.

Any room for holders of First Aid certificates. It has a First in the title.

I got one of those too, need to in my job.

I think ideally everyone should ask @MNHQ for their own specific board so that nobody ever has to engage with anyone who isn't exactly like them ever again.

Sounds fun for a chat forum.

Do cats count?

I'd win with the most beautiful cats!! 😂

Oh, and children, can't forget the children!!!

I was a paid-up member of the Tufty club!! Anyone???

ReadWithScepticism · 09/10/2024 00:16

Yes, meee! "Wait for Tufty, mind!"

Can I be the zebra crossing monitor, who has to roll it up and put it away at the end of the session.

Meeeee.

Weren't we all ? Well, at least those of us, of a certain age.
Might not be niche enough.

I've got a RG first but I also don't change my bedsheets very often so I probably need my own section please.

I was wondering how many posters would even remember Tufty lol!

worriedhidinginplainsight · 09/10/2024 00:42

@Laszlomydarling I agree. We definitely need a dedicated board for the owners (servants), of extremely beautiful/most beautiful cats.

Can you imagine? All those pictures of everyone's beautiful cats! We need this!!

Grumpyoldpersonwithcats · 09/10/2024 00:49

We could just purrge any ugly cats from 'the litter tray' by reporting the post. I'm sure MN could set up a new reason for reporting...
'this cat is an uggo'

wavingfuriously · 09/10/2024 00:53

🤣😂

HowFarToBanburyCross · 09/10/2024 00:58

I'd like a board for people who turned down an offer from Oxbridge to go to a RG, please. (And then got a first, obvs.) I'm also quite good at plumbing but can't draw at all. So if that could all be factored in too, that would be great, thanks!

Ah Grumpy, there's no such thing as an ugly cat!!

Hmmm … I’m honestly not sure that goes far enough.

I think there needs to be a sorting process at the beginning of a thread with the possible views on the op. Posters join the thread of answers they agree with. Only then will some pp cope with the discussion element of an … er … discussion forum, and the sniping and insults cease and I’ll never have to hear the phrase “ you do you” uttered as a put down of last resort ever again.

You are naughty @TheSoloPenalty .

But THIS is why MNers are so funny.
Not everyone is a viper.

!

But some of us are. Perhaps we could have our own board.
