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

Bocco.. thanks for that link, and thanks rev. Whilst Christianity as an existence is not my way of life, I love the sentiment.

Christ, not another polar bear.

Congratulations on discharging your Christmas obligations with such aplomb, ruty. I am also finding it rather hard to keep up, but haven't done anything as clever as that today. Thanks by the way for your agnostic recommendations way back before Christmas.

Bocca - I wouldn't dream of demeaning the rev's work by recommending it for MWankies, but I shall read it - thanks for the link.

Is anybody going to eat this sausage or am I just standing here like a lemon?

i like sausage, i will have it

Have a brazil nut as well, no honestly, I can't eat them all single handed

actually I can

Yes, how's the satanism going then, winestein?

i forgot to buy nuts this xmas

Gosh, let me admire your rr's too, Threadie. Laarvely. Just as I imagined.

Bloody hell, Rev, I'm astonished by the prescience of your friendship essay, and am thinking about it properly.

I think your exhortation to just 'be around' is brill.

eee, sausage and nuts.

I could just have managed a nice Brazil nut as well - but I see they're all gone now...oh well...never mind....worse things happen at sea....at least I got shot of the sausage.....where's my eyeore ears?

are you a satanist winestein? i know a satanist, great bloke he is

Message withdrawn

Ah, Wonk. Not bad thanks. Going well.

BTW, where can I buy some of those "instant-ostracism" powders from? I found them so elusive.

Until now, you sod

Rev's essay was interesting. Not sure I agree with that definition of 'friendship' myself... more that what she describes is a friendly way to behave. But obviously that's still important.

This is hardly worth posting but I'm going to anyway...

too late, it's in my mouth as i type

We have 2 boxes of chocolate brazils that DH bought to make up for the box of shortbread he scoffed pre-Crimbo (don't ask me how that man's mind works - he's currently lying on the sofa giggling at Transformers the Movie and he's not even stoned)

Mr Bat would like it known that he has not yet had the opportunity to discharge his Christmas obligations speak to his partner this month. I hope to see you all tomorrow.

Thank you lovecat - I would offer a sausage in return but as Lou has eaten them all - in a very unseemly and suggestive manner I might add, it 'll be a very cold day on mumsnet indeed before I boil another banger here!

Not quite a satanist, Lou ... just me, and a whole load of mish-mashed ideals and idealogies.

Gizzuz yer sausage

LOL. I don't think winestein is an Actual satanist (although she does work in traffic control).

I do know someone who refused to be a godfather because he didn't want to renounce the Devil. He meant it as well.

i only took one, i thought only one was on offer

i reckon knickers had the rest

i get blamed for everything

i love brazil nuts

christmas duties over for another year. thank god. if there is one.

Iorek - You will see that I very deliberately did not nominate the Rev for membership of the MWankies, but I did feel that her essay deserved a wider audience. I first stumbled across it at the time of the row about the creation of the Old Child Family topic - a row which now seems very small beer indeed. It seemed prescient then and seems even more so now.

Hello Iorek btw. friend of mine [swiss] used to say Heaven must be like Switzerland, and as such, meant he'd never want to go there.
