where have they gone?

Same reason I joined MN Ariadne. I haven't been on since.

roses our WI is made of sterner stuff I reckon even though I am anti certain words myself, certainly wouldn't faint clean away. Leaves the thread still giggling at the vision of WI ladies with hats, of course, abandoned in a heap.

I did too and as usual have no idea what my username or password were! Let me know if you spot me on MN I'm the one who makes all the typos!

Me too. But I only joined MN when we were searching for Greatnan - where MNetters were great - so don't think I'll bother again.

Yes i had one positivepam

Has anyone had an email asking them to reset their mumsnet password due to the "Heartbleed" problem? Apparently all passwords have been deleted, I just wondered if the same might happen on here. Although it may be a bit late as the problem has been known about for two years.

Roses there is 'effing' at our WI and it's often me!

Soutra means trolls petallus and I'm sure there are a few here as in everywhere else. Yes, don't know how we sidetracked into nitpicking about the F word either really , it sort of happened! I was just starting a thread really about the why factor that so many people have left.
Can't stand Mrs. Brown by the way, find it ghastly.
DebnCreme yes, Lawks a mercy went out of popular usage in the USA round about the end of the 19th century, BUT there were some in my W.I who would have fainted clean away had any one been effing in their hearing.

Spain sounds heavenly !!

Remind me where you went , you know I am a simple soul !!

Oh thank you Nonu and Ana, yes, I had a really good time. The weather was scorching and the food was wonderful. We all pootled about and had a nice rest!

Yes, did you??? Welcome back anyway!

Did you have a good holiday LONA ?

Yes, very erudite

baubles just watched the Wire scene. It was really witty I thought.

* Culag*, I totally agree with you. I don't know where they get it from.

Dear Phoenix

I would politely refer you to the last line of this article.

So Specsavers yer flippin' self!

Love from jingl xxx

Did anyone watch the American police series The Wire? If so you may remember this scene, very clever and very funny.

WARNING - Do not watch if you are offended by swearing.

The Wire Swearing Scene

Oh! Someone else is awake at this hour!

I'm often puzzled by remarks by some posters on this forum, they don't seem to relate to anything I've read! Maybe it's me

Mrs Brown does say bucking sometimes, particularly in the earlier episodes.

Not sure why i am bothering to mention it at a quarter to four in the morning though!

Soutra I am puzzled by your remark. There are a number of posters who used to be prominent on GN who have now faded into the background. I would be amazed if they live under a bridge (as you put it).

jingl if you think Mrs Brown says "bucking" then perhaps it should be the hearing equivalent of "should have gone to spec savers" ! It is sometimes "fecking" (*feetle & roses* are right there0, but is quite often actually fuck or fucking.

I seem to remember someone who shall remain nameless saying how much they loved the Mrs Brown programme and how sweet (yuk) she thought it was that that "she" said "feck"

jingl sorry, but Billy Connolly was otherwise engaged, and couldn't make it tonight!
