I've never posted on Reddit. Maybe we should all have a wee outing. We can take biscuits.

I’m off sugar. Can I bring cheese?

murasaki · 21/06/2025 17:40

Tunnocks tea cakes, surely. I'm with MrsTP on the cheese though.

Waitwhat23 · 21/06/2025 17:41

Ooh, and fancy crackers and silverskin pickled onions. We could make a portable cheese board for convenient snacking.

MrsTerryPratchett · 21/06/2025 17:43

OK, pickles, biscuits, fancy crackers and cheese. Maybe a cheeky bottle of wine.

ArabellaScott · 21/06/2025 17:44

That sounds like a plan, Waitwhat. A good picnic probably needs a spreadsheet.

Surely a spreadblanket for a picnic?

Can I bring my mackerel pate?

Waitwhat23 · 21/06/2025 17:47

Ooh, I'm now in the mood for a cheese board. Some onion marmalade, some grapes and raspberries, 3 different cheeses (Boursin, Brie and a sharp cheddar) with those wee cheese knives in, schmancy crackers and some Japanese rice crackers. And a massive goblet of very, very cold gin and tonic (The Botanist and Fevertree).

Hmm, how might I facilitate this tonight...

Sorry, I'm a veggie.

Will bring some gluten-free brownies instead! Mine are very good, even if I say so myself 🙆

Abso-flipping-tutely - in fact, bring extra, because I will need a whole bowl for myself. Not even remotely ashamed.

Well okay, maybe quite a big outing, depending if we can all fit in.

Mind you, I've just popped over and can't find the thread. Has it been vanished?

OMG this has caused me to look at the ingredients for Tunnock's tea cakes. There's no gelatine in the marshmallow???!!! Count me in!!!

Me as well. Several bowls. I could happily eat it with a spoon. Actually, I’ll bring celery to effectively scoop it into my gob.

I had one vanish while I was reading it the other day. Weird experience

Waitwhat23 · 21/06/2025 17:55

I make very nice homemade Blinis. Some cream cheese, smoked salmon and a sprinkling of dill...

Boiledbeetle · 21/06/2025 18:07

Are we there yet? Are we there yet?

I have a cheese board where the lid rotates off to use as the board and all the cute knives etc are inside......

Ooh, nice!

I've got a handy Lazy Susan to put the snack bits in.

If someone's got one of those glass dome things to put over the cheese, we're golden.

Igneococcus · 21/06/2025 18:25

Oooh an outing, can I come? I'll bring a fruit salad. I might have got a little carried away this week when shopping.

Boiledbeetle · 21/06/2025 18:27

We're going to need a bigger bus!

@WithSilverBells- I genuinely choose not to discuss the subject on here really as I don’t enjoy engaging in the discussions. I honestly didn’t post to get involved in a discussion on trans rights (I would have thought that was clear from my initial post) but to comment on the moderation approach on this subject which I would say has clearly shifted over the last few years and - across the forum - I don’t think moderation is consistent or particularly good. I honestly would have thought this was an uncontroversial position, but even that seems to have really pissed some people off, despite me holding this view as a gender critical lesbian. I definitely don’t want to engage further on the topic 😂😂 - Anyway, not meant at all arsey to you, just didn’t want to ignore your post.

Your response suggests you are hugely invested in the topic and perhaps yourself can’t see the situation regarding moderation on mumsnet with any clarity.
but even that seems to have really pissed some people off,

You seem to have a strange view on my comments. I am perfectly calm, not ‘hugely invested’ (any more than anyone else with an interest in discussing women’s rights) and (presuming that’s aimed at me) I am not ‘really pissed off’.

I just pointed out that you presented an opinion as if it were fact on a topic you admit you know little about (the contents and discussions in this forum as you apparently don’t hang out here much). I then tried to find some common ground by asking you a relevant question (on something you raised).

Your reactions to my posts are rather disproportionate.

Its interesting that you call yourself a gender critical lesbian, yet refer to posters on here as being against ‘trans rights’ but without specifying what you mean by that.

As a gender critical lesbian, what trans rights are you referring to? And why do you think that moderation is not as good now?

I also have a cool bag designed specifically to put deboxed wine bags in with a tap on the side....

I have to thank my sister for that little gem.

Can we get a party bus? We could get some karaoke going and shout 'we're the Queens of the wooooorrrld' out the sun roof at bemused passersby.
