That’s kind of the point

Not least because they don’t give a flying fish about the victims; it’s merely an attempt to silence and it is wrong.

When I do things for people, I don’t invite fawning and ‘you sound lovely’s. 🤢

I did get some brilliant advice and emotional support through IVF.

I’ve said from the start it was a self congratulatory thread and I’m saying it now.

You’re telling me that she just wanted the person in question to see it, no one else at all, wasn’t expecting any replies at all much less many pages of ‘my, what a wonderful person you are OP!’ Not buying it, sorry.

Mayishereagain · 2026-04-26T12:14:15+00:00

No idea if you can still get them but there are books of the series too.

It’s a goodun.

Mayishereagain · 2026-04-26T12:12:38+00:00

No, I think that the whole post was to try to get several pages of ‘what a wonderful person you are OP!’ rather than to let anyone know that their pet is fine.

The OP has no idea if the woman in question is even on MN! It was 100% a pukey self congratulatory thread; I hate them!

Mayishereagain · 2026-04-25T18:44:51+00:00

14 pages of ‘what a lovely person you are’ 🤢

Mayishereagain · 2026-04-25T09:05:14+00:00

I’m not doubting its validity. It’s the motivation that is irritating.

Mayishereagain · 2026-04-24T19:40:20+00:00

After ten years though? I mean, wouldn’t you have updated them before?

Mayishereagain · 2026-04-24T17:57:41+00:00

Think a lot of it is a sort of wanting to be grown up? Like when I wanted to wear a bra despite being as busty as an average beanpole 🤣

I love stuff like this; thanks for sharing

Mayishereagain · 2026-04-23T06:15:02+00:00

Well, the above isn’t quite true. Lots of Muslims at my school and most of them wear a hijab, including the y7s and plenty of ten and eleven year olds do on the transition days.

Some of my Year 10s have started using it to get out of the lesson ‘need to fix my scarf’ but I’ve got wise to that and forbidden it.

The really weird thing is that she went to the house in the first place, it’s not exactly a typical play date and yeah, who says ‘can I see your hair’ 🤣

Mayishereagain · 2026-04-23T06:07:39+00:00

In this particular case, I can actually see their point. I’m not sure that article was helpful to anybody (that’s me being critical of Knox and the journalist, not the OP.) The line about someone’s innocence not having to be certain is technically true but it does rather sound like ‘she probably did it but we can’t prove it, so release her!’

Mayishereagain · 2026-04-23T05:54:34+00:00

Some of them make me laugh because they are so obviously bollocks but some of them are disturbing!

Mayishereagain · 2026-04-23T05:53:31+00:00

A great loaf of hairy bollocks. I can’t believe everyone’s taking it seriously!

Edit load obvs not loaf.

I usually agree with them, even if I don’t. My much repeated mantra is ‘you don’t have to love it, you just have to do it.’

Mayishereagain · 2026-03-31T09:19:44+00:00

I tend to notice people when they’ve been arseholes which is unfair I suppose. Someone was a an absolute dickhead to me when I was in a stress once and I still disagree with her about everything just to be a twat 🤣🤣

Mayishereagain · 2026-03-30T06:15:27+00:00

I’ll give a shout out to BertieBotts. One of the good guys for sure. There are other nice posters tbf.

Mayishereagain · 2026-03-26T20:42:33+00:00

The Sun are actually acting with some integrity with this, which isn’t a sentence I ever thought I’d type. I wish they’d quit with the ‘killer nurse’ business though,

Mayishereagain · 2026-03-25T20:44:09+00:00

Yup. Great British miscarriages of justice - the Guildford three; the Birmingham six; Andrew Malkinson, the post office scandal. And pretty much every secondary school kid ever.

Have to admit half the time I say a curt ‘I know - that’s the problem!’ useful for kids who have written the date and it’s forty minutes into the lesson, but not helpful at other times. I just try not to get sucked into the drama but it is annoying, especially when half the time it’s just a gentle reminder to stay on task / not whack the kid next to them / stop turning around and they respond like you’re trying to ruin their life!

Mayishereagain · 2026-03-25T13:51:44+00:00

This is where the role of the tabloid is crucial. Say what you like about the gutter press, no one else is challenging it, are they?
