Christian families vs the Earth

feeds@yuku.com (dana) — Wed, 09 Dec 2009 15:40:12 GMT

I don't know if this sort of discussion has already taken place here, but I need to share my anger about something I saw on French TV a few days ago. The program was about big families (France is the champion of breeding in the EU at the moment...). They showed some catholic families ("catholic" here means very rich, white, traditional, often racist and xenophobic) with 6 - 9 children. Ok. If...

Well I have been dating my boyfriend for 6 months........He is lovely, actually the best thing that has happened to me for years....Socially, intimately perfect. However...he has 3 children. The eldest is 21 & a lesbian and LOVELY. Really like her. The youngest 2 are for his wife that he has been separated from for 4 years(divorce procedings ongoing & should be finalized soon). He...

My best friend is CFBC but not so easily wound up by parunts and kiddie-centric Britain as we are.

She has some other friends that I have always got on well with. One of them is due to give birth any day now, and she text me a couple of times this year, first to announce she was pregnant and then to tell me the scan showed she's having a girl. I can't say I got excited, but I am fond of her and she really wanted this baby and had been trying to conceive for a few years so...

Two items appearing on the same part of BBC new home page showing the greed and entitlement of parents and the desperation of useless politicians to stay in power.

I know I shouldn't have moseyed over - the website where moos are courted by breeder-brained politicians -mumsnet and came across this astounding moan about parents in law not giving their munney to a greedy moo.

Sorry just had to have a rant on here but I have just been to the doctors....anyway I was nosing at the leaflets they have stuck on noticeboards and one attracted my attention called "FUNKY BUMPS"..I thought yeuk yummie moos gone mad trying to make attention for themselves. Anyway when I read further it said Funky Bumps Ante Natal Classes for Teens!!!! WTF if I was a really stupid 15 year old who saw a life of breeding a way forward then I think the term "funky bumps"...

Yes, you read correctly. Oh the embarassment of a 37 year old woman hiding in her little sister's bedroom...!

I've had my first day at work in a month today, and I'm utterly knackered. Why, then, does my dad's long-lost brother and wife insist on visiting tonight of all nights? Now these people are insular and thick at best. I know that sounds horrid but it's the truth. My dad's great, and I swear he was either the miklman's or he was adopted (!) -...

It seems like out of the many, many cases recently of teens killing other teens, in a fair proportion of the media reports they'll refer to the victim as a "promising footballer" just because they might have had a tryout here or there ( latest example ), but usually you find they're playing...

Dear Dog - all the christmas stuff is going on on another forum I post on at the moment. Someone is fed up with her inlaw's requiring her family to drive over to see them every christmas so has decided on Christmas at home with her husband and some children (fair enough, I wish I could do the same). They have invited the inlaws over on Christmas afternoon for a bit but because the inlaws have said "oh no, that would mean we'd have to drive and not be able to drink" there is...

I really want to like christmas - i'm struggling

feeds@yuku.com (dredknots) — Sat, 28 Nov 2009 22:48:51 GMT

Christmas reminds me of children. Spoilt, over-indulged little brats who Christmas is supposed to be for, hence the justification for parents to run to the shopping centres like mad arses, max-ing their credit cards & overdrafts (basically spending money they dont have) to buy a present for Sarah & Jack because theyve been good this year. The brats not only got gifts for their birthdays, gifts for end of term, gifts because they tidied up, but theyve been taken to...

Kindercrap everywhere

feeds@yuku.com (Propr Cynic) — Sat, 28 Nov 2009 13:57:30 GMT

Saturday means shopping, unfortunately, so it was off to Tesco for me and my aunt. Anyway, I couldn't help noticing that, with the run up to Christmas now underway, just how much bloody kiddie shite there is everywhere. Little costumes, toys, kids' books, etc; in short tons of kindercrap. Not just in the toy aisles either, but all over the store.
Parunts whinge about money, but they have only themselves to blame if they waste it on this shit.

Baby dust????

feeds@yuku.com (Beetlejuice) — Sat, 28 Nov 2009 00:31:47 GMT

On another forum I've been seeing lots of posts about people trying to get up the duff. Generally they are few and far between but at the end of these puke inducing rants of hardship are the words "baby dust to all xxxx". WTF is babydust? Isn't that what babies turn into when you dehydrate them?
The worst offenders are people who already have kids and want more of the damn things. Also the IVF league who won't stop until they have their precious (say it in a Golem...

the in-laws

Right,

I know I've ranted about SIL and BIL (my husbands brother and his wife) but I'm going to again as no-one listens to me at home.

SIL and BIL had a shop in Edinburgh which they lost due the recession as they couldn't afford to keep it open. During the time that it was running SIL gave up a £23,000 job as a nanny to sit around and work part-time "helping" BIL in the shop (this much angered BILs dad who had invested LOADS of money to get the shop...

Parent colleague gets to dictate our Festive get together

feeds@yuku.com (Little Miss Sunshine) — Wed, 25 Nov 2009 17:42:09 GMT

So folks here's my first rant topic -

It seems at work that the parent in our team is being allowed to dictate the when and where for our pre-Christmas work together, despite it being my idea. I work and live in a different geographical area to the rest of my colleagues. I am the one who does nearly all the travelling for team meetings etc. I suggested we get together to celebrate Christmas and have a bit of social time as a team. I suggested mid way between all...

If someone phones my mobile and I'm doing something really important, either I won't answer it or I'll pick up and say "can I call you back in a few minutes?"

Why do some people answer their phone sounding all flustered but then go "Oh hi, what's up?" and let you start saying what you called to say, then cut you off mid-sentence and say "I'm busy can I call you back?"

Stupid Breeder Comment of the Week

feeds@yuku.com (Propr Cynic) — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 12:39:11 GMT

To go with the Wanker of the Week, I would like to suggest that we have a section for the Stupid Breeder Comment, or Bingo, of the Week. This can be anything you see in the papers, see online, something someone says to you and so on.

To kick off, here's my nomination, a caveman from the comments section of a Daily Fail article yesterday:

"Even though Mr Smith works as a canal boat builder, the couple receives £4,200 in tax credits and family...

You know what really freaks me out (apart from women who have total personality removals the second they get pregnant)? Women who are 'TTC'. That's 'trying to conceive', for us normal people. Apparently you're not allowed to mention the actual words, and you're not allowed to say 'pregnancy' or 'pregnancy test' or 'periods' because it might upset people who are...

In fact, it isn't my month, November's been shit so far. Anyway, my computer got wrecked by a virus/malware program/worm/whatever the fuck it is, my football team threw away two points, twice throwing away a lead yesterday and further evidence that it is NOT my weekend came when I went to return a trolley in a shopping centre car park this morning.
I'd been to PC World to look at computers and by the time I came out it was raining torrentially (is it me or is this weather...

I know, I know, we've all ranted about buggies but today I was in the King's Road in Chelsea (not my usual haunt but I was in the area) and FFS! First they had Chelsea Tractors, now the have Chelsea Buggies - big, fuck-off things which take up the space of two normal size buggies. They're so big it actually takes you a minute or so to spot the brat inside.

Every single shop I went into had at least one parked either blocking the doorway or blocking an aisle. In one shop,...

Rants and all
