It's a comment I would never have thought of in a month of Sunday's. (absent' s)

Amazing in its wit.

Nobody has ever thought me sedate or boring. They'd have to catch up with me first.

soop Wed 12-Feb-14 12:03:42

I couldn't care less. Like your comment, absent grin

Well we've got our uses then - even if we are old and virtually invisible.

They are quick to pop over here when they need advice, which is quite nice really.

Flowerofthewest Mon 10-Feb-14 22:38:37

Me neither!

margaretm74 Mon 10-Feb-14 21:34:04

Nor me absent

absent Mon 10-Feb-14 21:22:58

You know something – I don't care what they think about us.

Duh! Thank you Galen, never seen that before. smile .

Galen Mon 10-Feb-14 17:29:07

That's the buttons labelled 123 not the numbers

Galen Mon 10-Feb-14 17:28:27

Press 123 then#+= buttons

Culag Mon 10-Feb-14 17:23:34

Whoops, well, where are the square brackets on an IPad?

Culag Mon 10-Feb-14 17:21:27

Well, I was shocked (blush) . Too many naughty rude words for me!

But it is said that I'm too serious sometimes.

margaretm74 Mon 10-Feb-14 16:48:19

But we are the mums and dads of mumsnetters, and what else did Larkin say?
It's all our fault!

FlicketyB Mon 10-Feb-14 16:38:51

Philip Larkin said sex was invented in 1963, oh yes, you are right Absent we did invent it.

And Larkin put it in writing, so we can prove it!

lucyinthesky Sun 09-Feb-14 18:43:41

so we did, absent so we did!

Ana don't know whether I have time or inclination to post on Mumsnet regularly though, Would rather be boring on Gransnet wink Must get back to my knitting, baking, gardening, reading etc etc

absent Sun 09-Feb-14 18:39:47

I would guess that the shagging thread is just an example of a generation that thinks it invented sex whereas we know that we did.

Ana Sun 09-Feb-14 18:33:28

Well done, lucyinthesky! A blow for us all...grin

lucyinthesky Sun 09-Feb-14 18:29:14

Ana - you've 'outed' me wine

DD is a member of what is now Real Mothers, but used to be Bad Mothers' Club. I have a look now and then, and find it much more down to earth than MN.

Galen Sun 09-Feb-14 17:13:58

Ana not me!
