You might remember filling in a survey about your Mumsnetting habits for some academic types a while back, yes? Anyway here are the results/conclusions they've come up with and jolly interesting reading they make too, non?

Oh I know BoF, but then you are a person with lots of awareness of it. I pot in just because it gives me a great awareness and insight, iyswim.

Can I ask why you have to opt-in to see the SN board?

edam · 24/04/2009 21:12

Libras - IIRC because regular posters there were fed up of dealing with rather critical/unhelpful/hurtful posts from people who hadn't realised it was an SN thread. So you'd get someone saying 'OMG, I can't believe you let your horrible child get away with acting like that', or 'Oh, that's entirely normal, don't know what you are worrying about'.

thanks.

Mhamai · 24/04/2009 21:17

I'm in the 2 per cent of being told off I'm also most definately an irregular regular.

BitOfFun · 24/04/2009 21:22

Ooh, what did you do, Mharmi?

Mhamai · 24/04/2009 21:23

Teach me to not read results properly! Have been given a bollicking but never a warning.

Mhamai · 24/04/2009 21:23

Where do I start?

Mhamai · 24/04/2009 21:28

Lets just say too much wine and Mumsnetting do not good bedfellows make. Slightly off topic but I've been gone a few months, my laptop crashed, there seems to be a lot of Mn'rs missing or maybe loads of new ones have joined but I seem to be looking at loads of unfamilair names but where is everyone?

Mhamai · 24/04/2009 21:33

Good to know my thread killing skills are as good as ever.

BitOfFun · 24/04/2009 21:50

Blimey, give me a chance to get to the offy mate! Watch me get told off later then- it was 3 bottles for a tenner

Remotew · 24/04/2009 21:52

Mhamai, Welcome back online. I noticed your absence.

I didn't fill out the survey but feel I am amongst the average mumsnetters in terms of lurking. It took me ages to pluck up the courage to post.

Stick to my cosy corner mostly as some posters can be rude.

Mhamai · 24/04/2009 21:54

feck I'd have joined in with you but I'm off the ole booz for now, my liver has been pleading for some respite for years now. I'm off men as well.

BitOfFun · 24/04/2009 21:58

I still need details of your crime

Did justine say she was "very disappointed in you?"...

Mhamai · 24/04/2009 21:59

Ah thanks abouteve, I often passed those internet thingy's you see in shopping centres and was tempted to log on to say hi but the fact that they are constructed like phone booths put me off. I prefer to do my MN ing with a comfy chair for my comfy bum!

Mayiask · 24/04/2009 22:02

Hello Mhamai, hope I am a name you recognise.

Mhamai · 24/04/2009 22:03

Well my most infamous one was way back in 05 when I'd first joined, I'd just been accepted to college as a mature student, I stayed up well into the wee hours celebrating and even i couldn't make head nor tale of my ramblings the next day.

It was a baptisim of fire to say the least with shouts of troll left right and centre and this being back in the day when they were few and far between.

Mayiask · 24/04/2009 22:03

Sod it no you wont, as this is my adopted name for asking embarrassing questions. Oh well, I am a name you would know but now I will have to remain incognito

BitOfFun · 24/04/2009 22:07
