MNHQ Thank you very much for the horsey topic but

[SwedesInACape]

... does it really have to be called My little pony? I am sorry if that sounds ungrateful but I am worried we might upset people who really want to discuss what to do about Glittery Prancer's lost sequinned comb.

I think 'Mumsnet pony club' would attract the right sort.

PMSL Swede!

Ah, is that what the topic is about. Get it now.

Haynet?

Maresnet?

I think Tech is having a bit of a laugh at our expense. Just as well we are thoroughly good sorts.

Bay(o)net?

Haynet is marvellous. But might it be a bit cryptic for horsey types with aristocratic blood?

So it really is intended as a horsey topic then ?

I thought it was MNHQ practising for April 1st and the whole topic on Polly Pocket

Swedes, an inquiry into who left the shed stable door open is under way but changing the name might be a case of shutting the stable door after the horse has bolted.

The worrying think is, there are a lot of Mumsnetters who seem to be extremely pleased to have somewhere to discuss the lustrous sheen on Lickety Split's mane, and her pink high-heeled shoes.

It seems a shame to gallop towards them in our scarlet coats and tell them to get orf the farking thread.

There must be 10 guinea pig threads for every horse thread. Horse topic is weird even with non-weird name.

think thing

swedes-pmsl

why Threadworm?

yeah, the name does suck. a horsey section is great but the only posts so far are about sodding plastic toys!! yes i know how to untangle a mane...on no, you mean your plastic pony. arrrggghhhh!

(sorry, rant over)

I lurve "My Little Pony". I want the Chicken topic rechristened Henny Penny forthwith.

Hassled - all those poor little chickens you want them to be eaten by the fox

I know when I'm not wanted. I shall return to my show stable anon.

Good point, well made .

OK then the Foghorn Leghorn topic

The My Little Pony Mumsnet cult is truly fascinating.

Bless

Always something on here for when you're feeling a bit crap

Thanks ladies o and ..erm..ponies

"It seems a shame to gallop towards them in our scarlet coats and tell them to get orf the farking thread."- ooh but it would be soo much fun.

It makes me LOL because "My Little Pony" is family-speak for anything which, once acquired, instantly "needs" accessories which add up to several times the initial cost - examples being any power tool whatsoever and, in my father's case, cameras.

It makes us sound like a bunch of loons combing pink plastic ponies manes. Call us the horsey set and be done with it.
Am very we have a topic though, was thinking about asking but seems someone already did!

Sorry caz. I was mean. Of course if enough people are asking for a topic that in itself is reason for having one. It's only that in principle it seems odd to subdivide the pets topic just for some animals (chickens and horses) and not others. But it's not as if the internet will run out of room.

Perhaps we should subdivide elsewhere -- e.g. a Mother-in-Law topic inside Relationships.
