In today's episode of "things that didn't happen"
I particularly love OP's casual "popping" upstairs and "noticing" her friends DH knocking boots with a stranger. Then she "just left" 😂 😂 😂

Yeah. He didn't hear her come in and walk around? And call out, dress quickly and go downstairs to head her off? Just carried on his unsuspecting shagging with the door open?

"We had a lovely time but they read a story about Jesus at the end so safe to say we never went back"

Yes, that must have come as quite the shock at the end of Messy Church. Absolute lunatics. I'm not religious and that thread has annoyed me - it's literally called Messy Church? You simply cannot be surprised or offended if it has some kind of biblical content.

I think it’s very unfair for people to take up the benefits provided by religious spaces when they aren’t religious and then complain about the religion. More than once I’ve read a thread on mumsnet where the op is complaining the religious school they’ve sent their child to is doing religious things and they don’t want them to because they/the child aren’t religious. When asked why they sent their child there they say it’s the best school in the area 🙄

There’s a very frustrating, likely fake, thread running at the moment where op doesn’t want to go to ‘a strangers wedding’. It’s her husbands nieces wedding but while she knows the niece she’s never met the husband and so she’s refusing to go and her responses are just so odd.

There'd another weird one about an OP who is angry because she found an injection in her fiancé's dads girlfriends fridge...the injection might be weight loss treatment or it might be the dads diabetes medicine. That's it. That's the story. The poster is so odd.

There’s about 412 threads a day about weight loss injections. Usually how terrible they are and how they’re not researched so in 3 years everyone on them could just drop dead. I have a reason I wouldn’t use them myself, which is possibly even a wrong assumption on my part because I haven’t actually researched the injections, but I wouldn’t start threads telling others not to take them, just use them or don’t and let others make their own choices as well.
 
The ‘no research - remember Thalidomide!’ people do my head in. They sound so ignorant.

If this was a new cancer drug, with the same (legally required) amount of research behind it, they’d be fighting about how quickly NICE could approve it and roll it out. But because obesity is a moral failing, they have to take this ridiculous stance about clinically safe medication.

An exactly because of that drug, drug testing has become much more thorough! It is also the reason why modern protocol for testing takes years. Sorry - had a brief stint working in pharmacolgy and people make up stupid tit all the time about drugs, yet are happy to buy the next miracle face cream from some Insta hun that was probably mixed in a mouldy cellar.
Of course unknown side effects can happen. With everything in life but they wouldn’t scream this loud if it wasn’t a weight management drug but something like eye drops.
 
People are so wilfully stupid about drug testing too. So much shite talked about the Covid vaccine being rushed through when the reality was nothing of the sort.

I meant to say that the nonsense about how it’s not safe has just replaced their fake concern for the burden on the NHS. It’s just their stick to beat up fat people using a reason that sounds like it’s care rather than disgust.

What a weird little thread this is. The Niece 'isn't really a niece' as she didn't marry her uncle until she was older and she's tying herself in knots to find reasons not to go. Strange strange woman.

Did someone remind them that thalidomide is still used medically?
 
When someone gets called out for having started (sometimes multiple) threads about the same issue under a different username and claiming to have never posted before, why is there always one who has to chime in ‘SO WHAT if they’ve posted before! SO WHAT, she’s COPING IN THE WAY SHE KNOWS HOW!!’

It’s a discussion forum and we’ve had the discussion before, multiple times. We’re bored. Just continue your thread, it’s bizarre to pretend to be someone else who has never seen the previous threads when you wrote them yourself!! ‘Omg this is so similar to my situation’ get a life….
