Don’t know if many of you will have looked at Mumsnet today. They’ve changed their logo because of the coronation. I’m anything but a Royalist but think it’s extremely juvenile and disrespectful. Several threads have been started about it, the majority feel as I do.

Lots of people have become rich and famous for their interesting features and useot to their advantage

I'm not good at faces, most people look attractive to me if they are good people

I'm still a gen X though, we have empathy but aren't easily offended and generally don't give a crap what people think of us lol

FannyCornforth Sat 06-May-23 14:36:02

I’m a Gen X too. It means absolutely nothing

What?! Every single one of your generation is exactly the same?
Were they cloned?

Oh, don't answer that, my DC weren't.

LOL whatever.

How do you know GagaJo? No one's immune to being hurt by the insensitivity or cruelty of others, even Kings.

🙄🙄🙄

GagaJo Sat 06-May-23 14:43:51

Spitting Image anyone?

I think I was being a little bit sarcastic Callistemon and mollygo

Smileless2012 Sat 06-May-23 14:51:02

Never liked that either GagaJo.

FannyCornforth Sat 06-May-23 14:52:03

VS I have seen your posts on relationship threads (which I rarely post on) and you do come across as empathetic and actually quite wise.
And yet on others, such as this, you present as demonstrably rather silly and asinine.

I got it, Bluebelle 🙂

I don't lecture anyone about anything anyway.

I just point out double standards

I've seen far worse personal comments on gransnet by the constantly offended and it's often easy to point out that, peeps should keep their own doorsteps clean... Right?

All I said was that I laughed but felt guilty I did... and look at the replies!

Maybe it depends who is on the threads?

Also, so many people go through crap in life and deserve help and support

FannyCornforth Sat 06-May-23 15:03:17

Tell me about it 🙄
I have found that the best thing is to be civil, friendly, nonjudgmental and unbiased.
That’s how I have made many friends on here

I never really watched it yet somehow I have "hold a chicken in the air, shove a deckchair up your nose, buy a jumbojet and then bury all your clothes" stuck in my head now

Guess I shall be forever alone then 😞

So they do - like being bullied unmercifully because their appearance is not absolutely perfect.

It must be wonderful to be without imperfeection.

I did say I felt guilty about it

Just because I'm not wise enough to keep my honest reaction to myself doesn't mean I need a pile on, thank you

I shall be putting down the weight of all this judgement by the morally superior.... Unless it's someone they don't like

Galaxy Sat 06-May-23 15:12:23

I am not sure VS is claiming to be perfect at this moment, that's why she said she laughed.
Anyway I have been rolling my eyes at all the 'its a historical day' stuff but turns out it is a historical day as myself gagajo and vs are agreeing on something grin

That's civil? I'd hate to see rude.

Callistemon21 Sat 06-May-23 15:12:45

I'm not piling on but I do fee quite strongly about this.

Thank you.

Callistemon21 Sat 06-May-23 15:12:59

Feel.

Callistemon21 Sat 06-May-23 15:14:48

Anyway, LOL whatever
