If you have to ask what the thread title means, think yourself lucky that you didn't have to see it in all its glory

Thank you, thank you, thank you. No, it is not necessary to shower me with praise. Just throw paper money and offer sexual favours.

Great thread title. I’m not going to be looking at any hole pics…

Have they caught onto Paris Hilton not changing her son's nappy herself yet? I am on tenterhooks waiting for the unhinged reactions

I got there and people talking about magic circle, big six, academia, milk rounds, and I had not a clue. Hell i didn’t even know you could do subjects beyond the normal English, maths, biology etc. I didn’t even know why lecturers were “dr” when they taught English.

different world.

Just wanted to quote @notanotherusername92 from the last thread.

I still don’t know what magic circle, big six, milk rounds etc are!

I grew up working class and was the first in my family to go to university. I truly had no idea about which universities were worth applying for, until my A level English teacher recommended I avoid ex-Polytechnics And that’s no shade to ex-Polys because I think things have changed a lot since then (nearly 25 years ago); I just honestly didn’t have much of a clue about different universities and courses having very different levels of prestige, beyond the obvious big hitters. My parents couldn’t help me because they didn’t have a clue. I did everything myself.

So when I see Mumsnetters going into forensic detail about not just which universities have the most clout, but which individual courses are the most highly regarded, fretting about leaver’s destinations and careers… it honestly blows my mind that they stage manage their children’s lives so much. Were pushy middle class parents always like this? Or has the internet created something that couldn’t have existed before?

I think this has to be the most normal I've ever seen her look. The Grim Reaper is back though

If we still had PMs on here I would so be sending you artistic pictures of my balloon knot right now

Anyone read 'to do this potentially dangerous activity' in aibu? It's now turning into a multiple thread drama. I'm not sure whether it's a troll, someone really bored or actually real. Very weird thing to make up, but also a very weird thing to actually happen

Sounds like a load of old toss to me and a pretty boring thing to do. Any normal person would have hoyed that memory stick in the bin

Male pattern balding/alopecia, I think. Unclear (and irrelevant, really) whether the poster is male or female, it's likely to be pretty tit for their self image when they want to have long hair. Have no real opinion on the clothes, they fit, they're clean, the jumper could do with a gentle steam to take the creases out - but that plastic wallcovering. God, that's foul.



Not as foul as that duvet looks to be in the other photo, though - it looks like it's yellow-brown stained and the mattress might match. Put a clean, preferably white, base sheet and duvet cover on before taking photos!

Wow, that’s the nicest Charity Shop Girl has ever looked. She doesn’t look like she’s teleported in from 2006. It probably helps that it’s a dress - clashing separates seems to be her problem.

As for the woman with the rippled tiles… well that looks like something my Nan would have worn to slob around the house. Maybe she is a Nan and maybe she’s slobbing around the house? But whhhy take a photo of yourself in a crumpled jumper and slacks?

I understand that people get lonely and bored and just want to be a part of that thread, but I would never dare post a selfie when I looked so drab

There's a woman at my gym who is Mumsnet personified.

She does look nice. She’s actually got a lovely figure and she clearly loves clothes, but the way she puts some of her outfits together is baffling.

I've been wondering about that one. I think I actually believe it. But even if the poster has made it up, I admit I'm intrigued. Someone, whoever it is, has a story set out so I'd like to see where it goes.

The memory stick thread is made up for entertainment. I think it’s someone trying out a storyline for a book and seeing if it’s interesting enough.
