Welcome!

The ewww was about bracelet man btw!

OK - thread on food as a treat being a dangerous concept is here:
www.mumsnet.com/Talk/_chat/2205463-Food-as-a-treat-a-dangerous-concept

SGB is eviscerating good on baths as treats.

I want to read the 'how did I get conned into thinking having a bath is a fucking treat' thread
I enjoy "indulgent" baths though. Candles and bubbles and such.

I think I've read that thread before. It is interesting. But sometimes the idea of a "treat" is skewed when you have children. I think of going to the supermarket on my own as a treat. But I did like supermarket shopping before DH and before kids... That's not weird, is it?

I get quite annoyed if I'm away with work and the hotel doesn't have a bath

hate baths

would possibly feel different if i had children and it was the only time i had sat down all day!

Oh Copper! I am sooooooo jealous. I love it. You don't really need to understand it, the music speaks for itself. Have the best time.

Have you seen that thread about the pink coat (well some of you are on it). Just. Sigh.

Pink coat??

I haven't seen the pink coat thread either.

Puffin I have my misgivings about Mozart. But that overture has a certain energy to it ... And I guess if you want a beginner's opera you can't go far wrong with Mozart?

Nope, and the Marriage of Figaro is a good one. There is a whole performance of it on YouTube if you wanted to get acquainted with it.

And pink coat??? I take it it's not for boys? Makes their penis fall off if they look at it or something?

Oh I found the pink coat thread.

Boy lost his coat. Had to wear sister's coat which happened to be pink. He will be bullied. It was cruel. Most unfortunate that is the case but it is yada yada.

Except the update is he didn't care and promptly left that one at school too.

I've never been to an opera, but i have attempted to played some of the music from the Marriage of Figaro with my very amateur orchestra. I think I'd like to go to see it, but I don't think we'll get any opera around here, I'd have to travel for it and I'm not that keen to see one.

I saw the pink coat thread earlier. I didn't reply because I was going out, and I'm sure by now you lot will have said everything I'd want to say.

I have only been to the opera once. In New York though, so did it in style.

I love it, but rarely get to see it.

Poor, but cultured, that's me

Do they screen operas from the Royal Opera House in cinemas (I know they do this for ballet)?

Yes, I believe so, but I would be completely amazed if they did that in the cinema here....

I might need to avoid AIBU for a while. I commented on the pink coat thread. What a horrible bunch!

Avoid the girls matter campaign thread in AIBU either

*too

I glanced into the girls matter thread too, and backed away slowly when the first few comments were about how boys matter too and all kids are equal. I'd love it if all kids were equal, but I see first hand every day how much shit the girls put up with from the boys, and a lot of them barely even register it enough to complain :(

I didn't stay backed away, and I suspect I'll be drawn in if I let myself read too much of it.
