[Closed] Oh dear.... (mumsnet)

lol @ dinner in the shed till the bike goes.
Can see the wife going 'it's me or the bike' guy hugs bike to his chest 'bye then'

Out of interest, why are you reading Mumsnet?

Keep the wife in the shed, and the bikes in the house = less nagging and more bikes = win ( + a little bit of being divorced ).

🙂

"Dinner in the shed till the bike goes"

Brilliant! Thanks love. Send me a text when it's ready.

And he's only got three bikes? WTFU love, come back and complain when he's got ten or more.

time for bombers....

"Dinner in the shed till the bike goes"

FAIL

It' supposed to be a deterrent not an inducement.

You know what they say about a man with a small shed.

If he had a bigger 'shed' she wouldn't complain about the bike.

If she was any kind of decent wife she'd be on STW asking for shed advice, which would result in her building him one and leave it for him to find with a new 650b bike inside with a bow on.

Hold on, mrs k has mumsnet login... 😈

Next door has a huge double doored garage but he only gets a little Brompton out of it. or something.

Can someone link this thread over to the one on Mumsnet please 😀

They're a bit sweary, I'm shocked.

I'll just type stuff: I can't even be arsed clicking the link, Is it reeal baaad?

This is all she needs to be shown...

From the threads i've seen linked on here, mumsnet appears to be a circlejerk.

from the threads I've seen on singletrackworld, singletrackworld appears to be a circlejerk. 😉

To be fair, any forum on the internet ends up being a circlejerk if it is niche enough.

That's just the wonder of the internet.

And now they've linked back to STW. Could be interesting

What's a circlejerk?
Anyway, what kind of woman is she? Why aren't her bikes in the dining room too?

They talk a lot about DH, but not XC.

They love their acronyms don't they..

YANBU to be honest.

I wouldn't want a bike in the house either. Call me a new age metro but I like the kitchen to smell of cooking, not oil, mud and dog egg.

I like the kitchen to smell of oil and mud, not cooking. But that's got nothing to do with bikes.

Hello ladies! *waves*

They love their acronyms don't they..

To be fair, that's pretty rich coming from a MTB forum. (-:

Now I know where the obsession with acronyms comes from! That website is sodding unreadable.

What's a circlejerk

that would be a circle, where there is a lot of jerking going on, and no one holds their own.

Damn you Graham, your ninja edit has given my follow-up post a slightly sinister twist.

Now I know where the obsession with acronyms comes from! That website is sodding unreadable.

I believe Dx is "Darling... ", eg DH = Darling Husband, DD = Darling Daughter etc. Which would cause confusion here if DeadlyDarcy took to a spot of Downhill.

YANBU?

After more googleing it's not a town in Saudi but "of course your right - your a woman"

Bet she hasn't found the bike shoes in the washing machine and the old chain in the dishwasher yet.

"YANBU":

Thread title is "Am I being unreasonable?" - reply is "YANBU", so presumably "You Are Not Being Unreasonable."

We have just bought a bike shed, Asgard is the maker and made of metal, is the only shed guaranteed not breakable in to and will cover DH for insurance for his 1k [s]baby[/s] bike

Out of interest, has anyone any experience of these things? A guaranteed break-in proof shed seems a bold claim to me, could be useful if it's true.

(1k bike... they'd have kittens if they saw what some people here spend on bikes...)

Proof if ever it were needed that women are perfectly unaware of how bloody difficult it is to work what they are talking about.

If he's only got a cheap bike like that what's he worried about?

🙂

It worries me slightly that we've linked to them and they've linked to us.

Glitch bump.

[quote=Cougar ]Glitch bump.
Do we still have those?

Cranberry has made the definitive post

They need an anacronym for "you are not being unresonable"?? How many times do they ask the question?? WHY DO THEY COMPLAIN SO MUCH!?

How many times do they ask the question??

Erm.. that is the topic of that particular sub-forum.

We have "Chat", they have [url= http://www.mumsnet.com/Talk/am_i_being_unreasonable ]an entire forum[/url] asking [s]other women to confirm that they are being perfectly reasonable and that their partners are pigs[/s] [i]if they are being reasonable or not[/i].

Wow that's hard to read. Almost as bad as some of the marketing/corporate BS that seems to be flying around these days.

If their favourite acronym is YANBU - I wonder if there are many times where the answer is YABU, yes?

I suspect I already know the answer to that. Listening to that mad cow who runs Mumsnet, when she frequently pops up in the media, she seems like a cross between a tin-pot middle eastern dictator, and the leader of a religious cult! Bonkers! In a thoroughly unpleasant way

We need Hora to gatecrash Mumsnet again. That was inspired! 😆

That whole topic makes your hair curl..
Apart from this one [url= http://www.mumsnet.com/Talk/am_i_being_unreasonable/1739766-To-wonder-how-to-get-DW-off-Mumsnet ]Dear WIfe[/url]

Those woman seem a bit angry, is she really just moaning about 1 bike?
Must take this time to say a massive thanks to my wifey as she says I have too many bikes, but is still willing to buy me a new BFe for my birthday.

🙂

And how much tinkering can one do with a bike anyway? wheels. check. seat. check. brakes...

Busted.

My better half put this up in the dining room, as its where my bikes invariably end up

1k... someone's been telling porky pies...

The OP gets re-posted on every new page. They must keep on topic a lot 😯 😕

1k... someone's been telling porky pies...

C'mon! We've all done it!

This new Reverb? No, not at all, it was a warranty thing. You wouldn't understand....

Oh, does DW have another meaning on MN?

"Am I being unreasonable?"

Yes

There we go, Mumsnet you can close the whole forum down now

Oh, does DW have another meaning on MN?

DW = Danger w&nk
DH = Downhiller

Wow,two pages and no Hora telling mums about his beautiful clock. 🙂

The "ovulation calculator" would come in handy round here for predicting when the Mods would be needed. 😆
RM.

Actually, I think Hora might have [url= http://www.mumsnet.com/Talk/am_i_being_unreasonable/1739824-To-go-on-a-sex-strike ]sneaked in already[/url] 😯

No one on there has told her to have a good wash

I think Hora might have sneaked in already

If he has you've just blown his cover.

Ok, this one beat me.

I just have to stop DP firing arrows into the table

DP? Darling... what?

Binners, I was just having my mid morning omelette reading this. I had a pavlovian response and was compelled to yell to my wife:
"Where are my effen anchovies?"

Her husband should tell her to keep her shoes in the shed too. I mean walking around all day in them on our filthy streets, dirty toilets etc, they are just as unhygienic

IYKAIWYMHIYF! (If You Knew About It When You Married Him Its Your Fault!)

I clearly need to spend more time on Mumsnet. Its pure comedy gold

He's a nobber. I think if my husband told his friends that he didn't like the smell of my fanny I'd shove prawns up his nose and staple it shut.

You go! Girlfriend!!! 😆

DP = Dear partner, when the couple are living in sin.

Mumsnet is wonderful. There's a great mixture of sensible advice & comedy, plus some very serious stuff on the Relationships area which makes me realise how lucky I've been (And how lucky Mrs M is!)

DP? Darling... what?

Darling Partner

(gender neutral, together but not necessarily married)

Or were you thinking of some other definition of DP? 😆

I think if my husband told his friends that he didn't like the smell of my fanny I'd shove prawns up his nose and staple it shut.

... or consider washing?

What a weird thread. It's one of the most amazing smells in the world, unless you've got personal hygiene issues. If someone told me I had bad breath, I wouldn't accuse them of being sexist, I'd go and brush my bloody teeth. That said, saying it across a dining table with a group of friends isn't perhaps the most tactful way of broaching the subject.

Ho hum.

I think I'm going to get a T shirt printed

with that AIBU and Yes on it, should sell in millions..

I can't wait to report to the real world that STW and Mumsnet are now directly linked..

It is the beginning of the end of life as we knew it..

I must now leave SWMBO is often in that place..

I bet if he had some c&£k Camembert she'd soon tell her girlfriends

DP = Dear partner

Ah! Cheers.

Now I just need to calm my inner archery pedant for "firing" arrows.

Singletrack is OK. It can become misogynistic at times but is generally much less macho than most forums I've read. There are a number of women contributors who are respected and I've never seen any real abuse on the site.

TBH, WGAF. IMHO the OP should WTFU, her OH's HT XC MTB probably needs new QR skewers and its BB refacing, perhaps a new FR hub. Perhaps if he was to n+1 a SS 29er it'd need less maintenance.

I'd really like to think that it was someone from here who started this thread.

http://www.mumsnet.com/Talk/am_i_being_unreasonable/1739894-To-hang-out-my-washing-wearing-just-bra-and-knickers

We are in the clear so long as we pretend to listen to the ladies in here

There are ladies in here?

If anyone happens to be wondering, the female equivalent of misogynistic is "misandristic".

Just, y'know, out of interest and that 😉

I'd really like to think that it was someone from here who started this thread.

TTIUWP.

Cougar I'll buy you a pint if you post that on there.

Blimey, that gave me a laugh.

I'm different to most women but really don't give a stuff. Who wants boring? 😉

You want me to go for the Hora Award For Shortest Lived Mumsnet Account Ever?
