Continuation of Thread 1

There is so much excellent information and so many active discussions on FWR that I wondered if it would be useful to have a thread to sort of "cross-fertilise" between them - airing little thoughts or vignettes that wouldn't themselves merit their own thread, to highlight other posts/threads of particular interest or to point to notable developments on fast-moving threads so that casual observers know where to look.

(For example, "the X thread has meandered onto a fascinating discussion of Y" or "Poster P's amazing analysis on thread Z might have relevance to the scenario in thread W" or even "Random bloke asked me to smile while I was choosing onions, grr"- that sort of thing).

Good Queen JKR looked out on the feast of terven
Serving justice with her tweets, our hearts and minds to strengthen
Mighty were our words and deeds
Though the trolls were cruel
And on Mumsnet we resolved to suffer no more fooooooools!

That is SPLENDID!

Boiledbeetle · 25/12/2022 15:50

OK @beastlyslumber this is my offering:

Now rest ye merry, natel women
Let nothing stop you pee
Remember to hover slightly though
In case a male did more than wee
To save us all from men's deposits
When we are going to pee

O tidings of hovering and pee
Hovering and pee
O tidings of hovering and pee

I'm not going make any money off my poetry skills any time soon!
Now i really must go pee.

That's amazing 👏 I doff my cap to you, my lady beetle

Boiledbeetle · 25/12/2022 17:51

Why thank you. Bows deeply, gesture of thanks to the audience and exits stage left.

MavisMcMinty · 25/12/2022 19:12

I have NEVER hovered and I don’t care who knows it. Tsk at all you hoverers, you make as much mess as careless splattery men.

IReallyLikeCrows · 25/12/2022 23:29

I've hovered a couple of times and found it so uncomfortable that I decided I'd rather not. If a toilet looks that manky I'll either not use it or find a way to wipe it down.

Boiledbeetle · 25/12/2022 23:40

I'll admit i don't hover myself, but have been known to give the seat a quick wipe down when I've felt it wise to. But that was when I was just sharing the facilities with women.

Knowing that it's now in the women's toilets women sitting, men standing to pee and a small number of those men also jerking off in there, I might need to start taking more cleaning products out with me.

But whereas before the hovering was not really a necessity unless you are completely germ phobic with the women's becoming a free for all hovering will have to be seen as part of your daily exercise regime.😶

I miss the old days of public toilets with a woman in a pinny sittng there with a fag in her mouth taking your penny from you. At least then the toilets are always as clean as they could be at all times. And no men would ever dare try to make it past the woman in the pinny.

God, yeah. Maybe we need to start taking shifts. I've got a pinny. I don't smoke these days but I could probably look menacing with a vape.
