Bunbury's Ninth Public Announcement - Hill Walking Club

The useful Bunbury Guide to Spotting Community Disruptors is constantly evolving.

The best research and advice is not to engage with community disruptors and trolls. As ever, if you suspect troll activity, report it to MNHQ.

This is a continuation of the Public Service Announcement thread:

www.mumsnet.com/Talk/womens_rights/a4164702-Bunbury-s-Eighth-Sealion-training-for-beginners?msgid=105201850#105201850

If and when you see threads plopped into FWR, especially a curious repeat of well worn topics, maybe check for poster history before engaging. AS is your friend.

There are a number of posts/posters/threads that are reproduced on Twitter or Facebook to foment controversy using screen shots & flagging to either MNHQ to have threads or posters deleted.. Sometimes, it’s used to approach commissioning editors with ideas for articles. It’s a tiresome tactic that we always have community disruptor posters who themselves post the comments that they then highlight elsewhere as purported evidence of racism, religious intolerance, anti-men sentiments, or transphobia.

This thread will be taking a leisurely stroll through the foothills of community disruption, noting the behaviour of wildlife and interesting flora and fauna en route.

To keep warm in wellies I wear two pairs of socks, the top pair are proper knee length thick walking socks. I found it very cosy during the cold weather. Warm dry feet on a long winter walk are such a blessing!

Deacon, me too. Someone on twitter thinks we're denying some demographic's existence.

Soooo... we're worried about ghosts in the female prison estate?

@SunsetBeetch

They're going after MN because of thr JR thread? I don't think that will make them look particularly good.
I suppose it's a misguided attempt to deflect attention but liable to result in visitors coming to have a look.

Unlike the physical Derbyshire, we're more than happy for incomers to trudge our paths.

Winesalot · 03/03/2021 14:25

'allo Pothole did you recover from yesterday's fainting spells. I hope that butler looked after you.

PotholeParadies · 03/03/2021 14:29

Ah, dear James. He is such a treasure.

EmbarrassingAdmissions · 03/03/2021 15:21

I took a look at the earliest Bunbury PSA threads - it's interesting to see this evolve with experience. There are various links to research in the opening posts and that's probably the first time Fermats posted her 'how to handle a derailer' advice.

I hope MNHQ have the gin cupboard topped up, I have a feeling they are in for an interesting afternoon.

Brace! Brace!

QueenoftheAir · 03/03/2021 15:44

OMG, I am missing getting up into the fells (one particular fell & valley I could explore for the rest of my life). But speaking of the mountain experience is getting dangerous here ...

Kit19 · 03/03/2021 15:49

im not inclined to play with the tourists - I bet they dont have any decent recipes to contribute

ErrolTheDragon · 03/03/2021 15:54

What I'd really like to be doing right now is to be up a hill with a nice snack. For some reason I'm craving malt loaf and don't have any.Hmm

Winesalot · 03/03/2021 16:01

Kit19 They seem like fun though, like they are passing through looking for the wallabies but not knowing much about them passed what Twatter has told them.....

PotholeParadies · 03/03/2021 16:04

Where do I find the malt loaf flavours in the wild? Sainsbury's? Tesco?

Felicity Cloake's recipe for malt loaf is good and allows you to add in additional flavours such as zest or spices - she offers a good discussion whether or not anyone is interested in baking it:

No, I wouldn't bother. Let's not dignify their contribution with too much of a response.

PotholeParadies · 03/03/2021 16:21

Wot? Cooking my very own self?

Ah well, I'll get the butler to do it. Grin

MichelleofzeResistance · 03/03/2021 16:22

Oh GOD the boredom......

can your butler find the gin, Pothole ?

Winesalot · 03/03/2021 16:24

Gin!! That sounds awesome. Gin

Can I recommend this one.

Just squeeze some lemon and loosen just a little with plain tonic (a dribble until you find your sweet spot).

ArabellaScott · 03/03/2021 16:26

Ah, I got a bit lost there.

Where were we?

Malt loaf, gin and butlers.

Excellent. [settles in for a wee hillside picnic in the heather]

You weirdos wearing wellies for Hill walks. Have ye no heard of waterproof boots? Wellies are cold and spectacularly unsupportive and pull off in the mud.
And now I quite fancy a hill walk, if there was a shop selling soreen at the very top i would've gone already.
And now I want malt loaf but DP has the car and I cba walking for some.

Wrongsideofhistorymyarse · 03/03/2021 16:40

It's quite bracing out, isn't it? I think I'll stop in here a bit.

Biscuitsanddoombar · 03/03/2021 16:55

God yes Michelle the boredom of the same old same old “AHA! GOTCHA” teenagesplaining from twitter tourists

Winesalot · 03/03/2021 16:57

MichelleofzeResistance

Best of both worlds!!!!

MichelleofzeResistance · 03/03/2021 16:57

The lack of understanding that this is a womens rights forum.

And that's the focus and interest.

I hope Rowan's going home to a really good cake tonight.
