My Mate...

....told me this afternoon that I should check out Mumsnet, as it's been even funnier than usual this week due to a bunch of contractor geeks infiltrating them.

By the way, Ducky's DP still can't get it up !

Poor fella.

She said that some of them are still on the site. My logon doesn't allow me to post anymore!

Don't forget the first rule of CUK - you do not talk about CUK

I admitted it in the end and she was peeing herself laughing. She had no idea I even knew what a forum was. She is well into it all and has been gossiping with a lot of the MN regulars about us all.

We are now in their "Talk Round-up"

We had a bit of a cross-forum rumpus this week, when some naughty boys from the 'CUK' IT contractor forum bustled onto the Talk boards in true Mrs Doubtfire style and got into a lather when they discovered that Mumsnet doesn't ban rude words. It all left MadamDeathstare fuming: "The way some of them go on about women and mothers makes me wonder if they have actually met a woman or if they were raised in a veal pen." Others didn't object to an occasional troll-invasion: "Couldn't we treat it as some kind of foreign exchange?" offered DuelingFanjo. Some of the chaps returned to beg for mercy: "Our admin has filtered out every possible swear word," bleated MrsFullyautomatix, "we are even forced to say 'tulip' when we actually mean 'sh*t'." "The thing about Mumsnet is that there are so many valid reasons for us to talk about sex (TTC), tulip (potty training) and breasts (feeding) that there is absolutely no point trying to moderate our language," pointed out GrimmaTheNome sensibly. "And there are gardening threads, so you need to know you're planting a tulip rather than a euphemism."

Ha! Brilliant. She was asking me do I type Tulip rather than swearing. I think that point has really quite tickled the mummies.

She's going to tell them it's not all men on here.

She can say that again!
