MN is where the ability to read goes to die. Just the bored and boring blurting out every brainfart.

Early candidate for next thread title right there!

I’ve been asking Mr Begotten for a penguin for Christmas ( the bird not the chocolate bar ) for bloody years. Stingy git still hasn’t got me one. Should I LTB now or wait until he gets his inheritance then bleed the fucker dry?

Best activate the penguin duck protocol, NOW.
Edit: @LiviaFantasy beat me to it!
 
The one thing ( well actually there's many, but this is the most mind-boggling) thing I don't understand about Mumsnet is why they're so desperate to brag about any little thing to strangers on the internet. I mean what do you get out of knowing that people on the internet think you're rich/thin/sooo very middle class? Who cares?
 
Not one of them can read can they?! Not one!!

Has anyone seen the thread where the OP has banned her mum from her house because she keeps washing her VERY EXPENSIVE HIGH QUALITY clothes on 40 degree washes and ruining them? Her mum buys her clothes from Tesco and matalan so just doesn’t understand how to handle such pricey silks and wools.

I'm not convinced that is real, I was stuff at 30/40 all the time that tells you not to and it's grand. I think she wanted to throw in some brags about owning expensive items.

Also, same for the £800k thread. After tax didn't it say to? Like honestly, what would you be doing to earn that kind of money? And of course her job pre kids was £80k per year.

I'm wearing black leggings, black t-shirt, big bright pink floor length fluffy cardigan and slipper boots today. Once again, I think you'll agree, I am a style icon and Natasha Dancing would be green with envy if she could see me. I have accessorised my look with a plastic bag on my head cooking the Clairol hairdye underneath. I also have a streak of hairdye on my left cheek, making me look as if I have been punched in the face.

I am wonderful, delightful, adorable, I love myself, I am incredible. What happened to that poster who was having a passionate love affair with herself? She used to post pouting selfies with long grey hair and tell everyone how utterly marvellous she was :D :D

I am always tempted to post this on those threads:

I have a full English every morning with fried bread and black pudding, and four rounds of white bread toast with butter and marmalade. Mid morning I'll have a Krispy Kreme doughnut or two and a hot chocolate with marshmallows and whipped cream. Lunch is a light one, usually fish and chips and mushy peas, or a couple of Big Mac meals and a McFlurry. In the evening we usually have a Chinese banquet for six (there are two of us) or takeaway pizza, garlic bread and fries. At bed time I'll have cocoa made with full fat milk and half a packet of Hobnobs, to stave off the hunger pangs. I'll snack on Tony's chocolate and packets of cheese and onion crisps throughout the day and I'll usually eat a sharing pack of Maltesers while watching TV on the evening.

Then I'd finish up, to provide maximum angst, by telling them I am a size 6 - 8, I weigh 120lbs and am 5ft 9. People mistake me for Claudia Schiffer ALL THE TIME. Jennifer Aniston asks me for advice of skin care and Angelina Jolie asked my hairdresser for top tips.

Honestly this sounds like my mother in law and I dislike her for it:LOL: she eats SO much tit! Every day on her way to work she buys a sausage and bacon bap with a big hot chocolate from the bakery, then her customers usually also stop at the bakery and constantly bring her sweets, pastries, cakes etc. Then she'll go and get lunch from a shop, then has her tea and then grazes on biscuits and chocolate most of the evening. She is a hairdresser so is on her feet a lot but still. She's 5ft8 and is a size 8. Don't get me wrong I'm sure her insides maybe aren't the healthiest but still I'm so envious! She's the kind of person that mumsnet either hates or thinks is completely making it up:LOL:

I bet her cholesterol levels are sky-high as might be her blood sugar...
 
I was reading some thread about DD who forgot her violin and missed a strings rehearsal at school when the whole thing got deleted because the OP was a previously banned poster/troll and people had reported the thread.
I clearly hadn't got far enough through to see anything weird because it just sounded vaguely normal..
Anyone know?

Also trolls/MN is so weird. Who trolls about teenagers missing orchestra rehearsals?!

Pretentious wanker alert.
duck me sideways these people are as dreary and self obsessed as they come.
Presumably the silly bleeping twit hasn’t realised that unless she called her child Zxhdjdmcjci Twinkiebell Bananhammock then it was bleeping inevitable that it would end up being the same name as someone else’s. But no, the bastard parent clearly heard her child’s name and copied it on purpose. 🙄

bothered that another parent copied my childs name

This happened a few years ago when we lived in a remote area.
My child name was very uncommon and unique. I deliberately picked the name because it wasn't common and I didn't want her to share her name with a number of people. I don't want to say what it is because there are very few people in the world with it. As she got older, in assembly, she found out that someone in primary 1 had the same name as her and the parent had obviously heard of and copied her name. Subsequently, there were a number of others with the same name.
AIBU to be annoyed?

Uncommon ≠ unique, by its very definition must be one of a kind.

It’s undoubtedly something along the lines of Neveah when that started infesting baby name books, or it’s do do with a different country/culture (bonus points if it‘s one they’re not part of, “but just love the meaning behind it”, like “Hiraeth”, “Hygge”, or a misspelled version of the Mandarin word for family or deer 🙄.

Fun sponges are out today.

Granted it's not really worth making a thread, but replies include
"Control yourself. It's just a typo"

"Its just a typo"

"I think the phrase that springs to mind is “little amuses the innocent even less the fool”. But hey."

"If your struggling not to laugh out loud in public at a very common and simple typo then you must be exceptionally easily amused (and annoying to work next too)."

And the winner is
"Would rather I received that email than the one I got on Sunday. Tears flowed and it wasn't of laughter.. "
Nobody has asked her "oh no, u OK hun" which I suspect she was fishing for 🙄

Oh another joy sucker, competing in the misery olympics.

I wish I had a colleague to send me an email with a typo in :( I have no colleagues, I have no job, no money, no friends, my mum hates me, my sister hates me, my neighbour has parked across my drive and my builder has just pebble-dashed the downstairs toilet and hasn't flushed.
