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

reusing

expatinscotland · 23/12/2008 15:41

I never went anywhere.

I went offline altogether for a while after DS was born and because my folks were in town.

Piffle · 23/12/2008 15:42

calm is better
I'm no good at conflict... I just slam doors,shout rude things and stomp.
Thenfeel like a prize twat afterwards.
I long to be proficient at reasoned argument although seeing my mum and her sisters, I fear a genetic legacy of Bad Temper...

expatinscotland · 23/12/2008 15:43

I usually just walk out, Piffle. Or I get sassy and it winds people up even more .

But mostly it's just, 'Okay. I'm outta here for a bit' and I go to the fag stash, grab the pack and go for a walk.

TinyTimLivesinVictorianSqualor · 23/12/2008 15:45

That's the only reason I ever wish I still smoked.
Smoking Sulks.
I can't do it anymore.
I have to storm out and just hang around by the front door for nothing.
It doesn't have quite the same effect.

Flihgtattendant · 23/12/2008 15:50

I am much calmer due to a particular game on Kids countdown, on Norad website. You have to connect up all the lights on a tree, it is really tricky! Have been fighting ds for control of the mouse all day.

daftpunk · 23/12/2008 15:51

no worries expat....i haven't really been following this to be honest...i just read the occasional post.....(all the wrongs one probably!)

i'm surprised the washington post have got hold of this yet?

congrats on the baby btw..

expatinscotland · 23/12/2008 15:51

ta, daftpunk.

ooo, brand new 'Ready Steady Cook' is on!

Myrrhcy · 23/12/2008 15:52

What's the Norad website Flight?

expatinscotland · 23/12/2008 15:54

the Norad website's the Santa tracker, no?

i want to show DD1 that.

she got him some mince pies and whisky.

that's my kinda Santa, sweetheart .

TinyTimLivesinVictorianSqualor · 23/12/2008 15:59

No insanityclause, there were a few Moldies that posted but all had their own view of what had happened and how they felt about it.

WalkinginWaynettaWonderland · 23/12/2008 16:05

here you go expat

Piffle · 23/12/2008 16:18

I no longer smoke,unless you class the stuff pouring out my ears on aforementioned sulk counts

Christmas is finally in my head dammit, I've now got goose related stress disorder...

Thanks VS.

TheBlonde · 23/12/2008 17:13

Why has this only kicked off now? I thought it was discussed back in Nov?

Flihgtattendant · 23/12/2008 17:14

Thats the one waynetta

Myrrhcy, and Expat here's the countdown village thingy. Click on the central tree to get the tree game. It is mind bogglingly addictive and i normally can't abide computer games

Flihgtattendant · 23/12/2008 17:18

Do you know, there really was a lot of cliqueyness in the old days. I always felt a bit yak when someone appeared on a thread making covert remarks or instructions to someone else on there and they just vanished to do whoever's bidding.

That was sort of moldies among us.
Now it's been taken elsewhere i am starting to feel fortunate. Don't see much of that stuff any more and if some moldies deign to come and talk to us at least we know they are here cos they want to be. Am feeling a bit festively appeasing about all this now. Mind you i did get it out of my system.

I knew you would need me, I'm very necessary person really aren;t I.

WalkinginWaynettaWonderland · 23/12/2008 17:20

Oh for God's sake FA - I hadn't seen that....
I am NEVER going to get anything done now!!!

AnneOfAvonlea · 23/12/2008 17:21

I've been around ages in different guises. I've been trying to avoid MN the last few months as it just got weird. I'm hoping that the New Year will bring with it some sanity.

Flihgtattendant · 23/12/2008 17:22

hee hee

I am undistractable on Xmas eve

I need to know where santa is

NEED do you understand and no I cannot get you some dinner, children!!!

compo · 23/12/2008 17:24

FA I know what you mean, the 'oi msn now' type comments

Flihgtattendant · 23/12/2008 17:27

yes compo, that sort of thing.

always did make you feel a bit left out - especially as often it was a big thread hijack but nobody apologised, like most of us would do.

Like our thread or our feelings didn't count for much.

I think it's better now that has stopped.

Horton · 23/12/2008 17:35

"now tell me, is it REALLY bad to have millions of plug extensions plugged into millions of other plug extensions?"

No, I don't think so. DH is an electrician and assures me it's fine.

Now I will go back to lurking as I haven't been here for long enough to have a proper opinion.
