If you (still) feel the need to discuss Moldies, please do it here so folks can hide this if they want to.

[LittleDonkeyCarrieMaryMumsnet]

Well hopefully the title says it all. There's been a suggestion, and we agree, that as we did with Baby P and the Mc Canns we just have one thread where anyone who feels they still have anything to add on this subject can post and those who'd rather move on can hide it away.

It feels strange to put this thread in site stuff as we are definitely not wanting to encourage further discussion of Moldies (we have presents to wrap too you know ) but we weren't sure where else to put it.

We will delete any new Moldies threads that are started, so please feel free to report them in case we miss any (what with wrapping the presents and all...)

And if you do want to carry on the discussion please remember that Mumsnet's here to make everyone's lives easier and not the reverse, and that Christmas is a time of goodwill to all mumsnetters past, present and future

Thanks,
MNHQ

here is the mail

No one would disagree with you there MP. NZ Herald is the 'broadsheet' of NZ but is actually more like a community newsletter.

HMMM they seem LARGELY annoyed about the swearing and rudeness, because we are Mummies

But there was no more swearing and rudeness on THOSE thread than on many others...

The New Zealand Herald copies LOADS of its articles...very lazy.

Hilarious they have thought this is worth copying, there's about 15-20 MNers here! No one else will have a clue what the article is about. It's the summer holidays here so everyone is off at the beach, they've prob left one trainee journalist behind to put together the world news...

Can you imagine the morning editorial meeting?

So-ooo. We've got MomsNett? It's a networking site for moms?

Or we got that sheep story.

Whadda you guys think?

Are you lot still talking about cocktails? I've a bottle of baileys here that needs tarting up a bit.

I'm not sure what you are getting at onebat. Perhaps you could clarify?

roffle @ onebat

Everyone has gone a bit mad over Christmas it seems (except for the inexplicably maligned reverend, onebat, justine and other reasonable types of course).

Love the delicacy of the M*l on Snday's article. Nice to see mumsnet has given them more evidence of the end of civilisation. The sloppiness of the Independent (and the NZ herald) is unbelievable.

Well, we do say mums not moms though. We're not American you know

Is anyone else bristling at the sight of a bottle of milk in the NZ article?

where is the NZ article? I thought it was in the Independent and MOS?

and don't say New Zealand. Please

any publicity is good publicity for justine et al
lets face it - they dont give a sh*t about moldies

gone and forgotten

new blood queuing up thanks to t'Indy

maybe we should follow suit

NaO I think that's a bit unfair. Some people left and set up their own forum. Can't stop them. They were invited to join but declined. The way that forum is run / recruits new members is nothing to do with MNHQ!

you'd be surprised nao

Yes, VVV ... it is very Un NZ like you know ... I think I will complain ...
WhatSheSaid, will you complain with me?
And yes, OBM, kiwis say MUM ... FYI

Is no-one going to help me with my baileys then? You're all heifers.(weeps)

And if anything Justine has been begging us to drop it, link arms and sing Auld Lang Syne. She's hardly been fanning th flames.

oh god, no, not the New Zealand Herald!

where next?

i am not criticising StealthPB just saying we need to move on

let bygones ....

Slippery Nipple. Not a greasy one.

Cornsilk. You can use your Baileys for that. Useless though for VVV. She'll need a sans alcohol Banging a Cranberry or summat.

meant to say 'not criticising Justine' Stealth

Cs slosh some in your coffee

Or pour it over good ice cream

Substitute half of your milk for Bailey's when making Rice Pudding - but cut down sugar by about half or will be too sweet

mmmmm

sorry, just re-read and see where you're coming from
greasy/slippery, they're both horrid
