Figured it was my turn for once!

Plus this way I beat the rush to the bar.

Now I must return to the previous thread to relocate my Tunnock's secret stash.

Serve yourselves until the bar gerbils arrive.

Dammit I seem to have missed the post wherein @Boiledbeetle shares the secret of her fonts!

And a search of Mumsnet doesn't reveal a bow tie, so a link to the thread would be appreciated.

Whatever you do DON'T read the edits on that post.

Don't do that.

Nope definitely not.

That would be a pointless thing to do.

I'm so glad there was such a rational answer, and no actual beetles were harmed in the making of your name.

pedantically, probably should have been roasted beetle but that lacks alliteration - the American ‘broil’ perhaps? Though in 1976, sans internet or a copy of Webster’s the meaning of ‘broil’ was a mystery. It’d crop up in Little Women etc along with words like ‘sassafras’ -wtf?- to be left to our imaginations.

4 year old me wouldn't have then been able to laugh maniacally at my funny joke then!

Me neither, & now I've done it I'm none the wiser.

Ah, I’d forgotten (if I ever knew) your tender age. 😂

ifIwerenotanandroid · 28/08/2025 20:24

No idea. Maybe I was on the wrong post. Which is the correct one?

ifIwerenotanandroid · 28/08/2025 20:25

Still no images...

I have ones posted hours ago that have yet to appear.

It would be a lot better if the bloody note they stick on when they don't publish them straight away was also visible to everyone else.

That thread! Glad to see you here @Taztoy. What an asshole that guy was.

Normally a cute gerbil with a name beginning with G would appear on your screen to deliver your drink.

But MNHQ are being arseholes tonight and not publishing images, so imagine Grindleberg in a cute little waiters uniform bringing a large drink over to you.

Bannedontherun · 28/08/2025 20:50

To add when the TRA’s fly in it is to me a strange experience.

Sometimes i contribute some times i cannot be arsed but i always come away with a weird feeling, like we have fended off the living dead. Slayed a few more slammed the door and carried on with our on line lives until the next time…..

BeLemonNow · 28/08/2025 20:51

Am a Goodie Two Shoes so will see if MN lets me serve some drinks, hang on...

BeLemonNow · 28/08/2025 20:52

Haven't quite got the hang of this. Please help yourself, mind the spikes.

Hours, bloody hours and my images are still missing in action.

This is just favouritism now!

Major sulk my end.
