Tin hats at the ready

Shit, where did we put those hymn sheets we can all sing from?

Jim???

we are all individuals!

"All things bright and beautiful,
All creatures great and small...."
etc.

"The purple headed mountains...."

That line always made me giggle

Sorry.

shockers!

That was a double entrendre worthy of Jim Davidson....

Hehehehe!

I love David Mitchell and now it looks as though Robert Webb might be a good 'un too. Robert if you're reading this please get David to pop in and say hi? :)

Is eyelash batting allowed on the Feminism forum?

Exactly dittany. Which is why I refuse to take his nonsense remotely seriously.

I expect he did the usual journo thing and read a few AIBU threads then based his - ahem - "observations" on that.

David Mitchell mentions MN in his columns sometimes. Peep show is the only TV show that makes me laugh these days, that and south park.

Meh, I think he has a point - there are a lot of posters on here (not in this section) who seem to have the objective of making other people feel that their choices mean that they have failed their children - for examples, look for anyone citing Oliver James, or any thread where controlled crying is mentioned. Posters persistently lie about research and evidence.

Coming on a parenting forum to do that seems anti-feminist. I've never heard of this Jim Davidson, but it seems plausible that many pages are written entirely by him.

I read it as having a humorous pop at the website in general and not the feminist board.

I know SGM isn't British but how many of you have not heard of Jim Davidson?! I feel very old - he was mainstream tv when I was a kid

Bloke pontificating on a subject about which he knows next to nothing and being given the public space to do so. Why are we surprised?

Pipe down, Webby.
