That was a hard three weeks

Although I'm a fairly regular poster on MN, I lurked for quite a while here before I joined about three weeks ago. In that time I've been called a precious snowflake; accused of having a fit of the vapours ; being incredibly snobby, being satisfied to have something at which to take offence, creating a storm in a teacup, sniping, jumping in on one side or the other straightaway ( as a new poster) but you know the one thing that has really cut me to the quick was being accused of only knowing about 'six quid bottles ( of wine ) from the supermarket'. Anyway, will be having a break now for a few days and when I come back, I promise to behave better and to have drunk some more expensive wine

I thought we were all like those Cheshire football wives in North west, spray tans, botox and champers!

I used to have two ferrets as pets. Cor, they Doan arf pen and ink. Very intelligent though.

wot yes, perhaps we could start another one nearer to you-know-when smile

Ana Sat 29-Oct-16 22:57:11

Only in Manchester, not the outer bits. And don't forget the ferrets and flat caps. And the pigeons.

wot Sat 29-Oct-16 22:55:08

I miss them.

wot Sat 29-Oct-16 22:54:47

Ana, and we were the champions of the music threads!

Casawan Sat 29-Oct-16 22:53:34

Anya. Ha ha, very funny. But you forgot cheering on the local rugby league team. Not a true northerner unless you're prepared to do that. Oh, and it always rains in here too. smile

Casawan Sat 29-Oct-16 22:49:23

Wot - who? Me? Nasty? No, just having fun - Saturdays can be so boring.
Actually, not heard that particular saying for a long time. Getting a nostalgia hit now.

Ana Sat 29-Oct-16 22:47:23

I was joking, wot, of course I know bonkers is good. We've been mates for years...grin

wot Sat 29-Oct-16 22:45:08

Bonkers is good! Not like nasty posters who disappear after they've upset people.

Ana Sat 29-Oct-16 22:43:59

Shall I decide to take umbrage/offence at that remark, wot?

No, I certainly won't! grin

wot Sat 29-Oct-16 22:41:14

Bonkers!

Ana Sat 29-Oct-16 22:40:29

It's like a cryptic crossword...

Ana Sat 29-Oct-16 22:39:39

It all makes perfect sense to me! grin

Posts keep getting X and then nothing makes sense.

rosesarered Sat 29-Oct-16 22:36:13

That was for the post 22.28.11

wot Sat 29-Oct-16 22:35:30

To the nasty one, not anya.

rosesarered Sat 29-Oct-16 22:35:07

Anya grin

wot Sat 29-Oct-16 22:34:41

Oh shut your cakehole.

Anya Sat 29-Oct-16 22:34:36

See, now we're all friends again.

But, think I've upset DB - should I pop into the kitchen and apologise?

No, best let sleeping dogs lie.

Veritable cat among the flying rats. Such fun.

Casawan Sat 29-Oct-16 22:32:35

Then, Merlotgran, you need more of that lovely red wine.

wot Sat 29-Oct-16 22:31:35

Wish I lived " up North".

Anya Sat 29-Oct-16 22:28:11

You forgot the clique that meets up north. They shop in the Pound Shop, swill Guiness, don't bother cleaning their (council) houses as they're too busy walking their whippets and practising for the local brass band..

Then there's that shower north of the border......

wot Sat 29-Oct-16 22:23:40

Stirrers. That's what they are
