Fabricated posts…..why?

New one just started!

Totally agree with you Sago. Some are such utter tosh! and yes they probably do get a kick out of the replies!
They must lead boring lives to resort to this activity.

Fanny I forgot to mention your " funnies " this morning. I really laughed at the dogs and their owners one That tickled me.

You'll just have to get up earlier, GillT57, or get up in the small hours to check the latest posts.

So it would seem! I miss all the excitement, and I am no good at all at spotting 'returners under another name', some on GN should be offering their services to Special Branch with their skills in spotting writing styles .

They dont bother me that much. Especially as I miss most.

I think I'll stick to News and Politics.

That was to Georgesgran

Have all these 'fabricated posts' been removed? I would love to see one. Are there any still left?

In a doggy bag? Ta da!!

I hadn't realised the sons dog had bought it. How did he carry them home?

I've just remembered that I bought my husband some cans of beer for christmas

Anything alcoholic is fine, but soup? And from the sons dog, not even from the husband? I struggled with that one!

They could be previously banned posters who are narked that they were banned and have snuck back in to cause mischief. It's apparently quite easy to raise a new email address, sign back up to GN, choose a new name and away they go. I don't think GNHQ check IP addresses too closely.

omg who on earth has the time be a regular poster and a troll or numerous trolls

Blimey! I never see any of these, maybe by the time I sign in all of the suspicious posts have been removed.

I remember my days on mumsnet, most of the top trolls turned out to be long term regular posters.

Oh, dear - that's rather worrying!

Many years ago whilst living at home we regularly had 'TM's' I remember answering and calling to Dad "hes on again" the response was always put the phone down. That it. We were bored, the caller was eventually bored end of.

Having said that, until we got the gist of what was happening the stories became more and more complex to hold our attention.
One was they had kidnapped a member of the family.
This had a kernel of reality for us as a family member had been taken by their Aunt for a walk, in the pram, without permission, after said Aunt had her 3rd child die, and everyone panicked until child was found.
So we engaged the caller to find out more.
Eventually Mum who had spent the day cleaning, cooking and caring for my Gmother, and was now caught up in preparations for dinner and decidedly tense, marched out from a steamy kitchen, into the hall took the phone off me, and said "you say the name of the person you have is Nancy, well if that is indeed my mother you can keep her!
If my experience is anything to go by, she'll dive you up the wall. So you can strangle her with my blessings or let her go, just dont send her back here!
And banged the phone down.
We all collapsed laughing, although if I remember correctly Mum didnt.

Ohh you’re clever elizabeth I m not bright enough to know who you are talking about unless it was ‘she who flew’ and caused a lot of disruption for a while

I do not think teens would get much pleasure from reading an over 50s forum, there are many far more entertaining sites.

I do think it is one person who has been using other names for a couple of years, she is either drunk, bored, or just likes the attention.

Some will remember a couple of years ago she was on a post with two identities, either signing in and out or using two devices, she confused herself and made a nasty comment using her "nice person" name, this was picked up by a couple of members. She disappeared for a while after that. She does not seem to comment on the made-up threads now, maybe worried she will confuse herself again.

When I lived for a while in london in a flat with three other girls we had a TM who would phone and tell us his “dimensions “. In December the phone rang and he said “Hello this is Peter…with the 9 inches..” my friend told him to bugger off. Whereupon he said “I was just ringing to wish you Merry Christmas”

Your iPad is probably in shock lucca and busy hiding it’s ears
I wouldn’t leave any helpline because of that but I would have a job keeping a straight face

That reminds me of one of the times I was on Jury service, hearing the frightfully posh Barrister reading word for word the defendants statement with all of the extremely crude words pronounced very carefully, with all of the aitches missing and local slang words, it was so hard not to giggle.
