I just read that Jeremy Corbyn is getting interviewed on mumsnet. Why don't we ever land the big guns? 🙁

Because STW would be unlikely to find out his views on penis beakers and the OXO tower.

Sex discrimination. Wimmins on mumsnet, 98.37% mens on here.

Shifty bugger obviously doesn't want us to know that Labour are going to make 29in wheels compulsory and impose a hefty tax on wood-burning stoves.

Boring answer; reach. I wouldn't be surprised if mumsnet had tenfold traffic over this place. (Some techy type will even know how to find that sort of thing out, probably)

Surely he'll be re-introducing the penny farthing....

About 4-5 times as much, but pretty good estimate.

Oddly that's far better for STW than I'd have thought. STW towers are pretty influential in the "Likes bikes, likes talking shit" market

Much more the latter for a lot of contributors.

I'd be tempted to ask him about his preference at trail centres.

As far as I can see he pretends to quite like the greens, absolutely detests the blues, obviously prefers the reds and in his younger days used to ride the blacks, but not anymore.

How long do you think it would take for someone here to tell him he's completely wrong about what he thinks he thinks and then spend hours arguing about the semantics of what he typed without actually involving jezza and dismissing him with Jambafacts* when he did try and speak?

On the up side the lack of opportunity to reply would give him chance to Google the costs of policies any how.

At least on mumsnet he's likely to just be wrong**.

*other unverified sources of inflammatory information are available.
**he might be right, but this is the internet, so odds are not good.

Close the internet, it won't improve after that.

There is actually a site for people who don't put spacers under their stem? It even has an archive so you can fondly remember bikes from the past that didn't have spacers under the stem.

Have you read the kind of nonsense they spew on MN? Once they realise he's a man(-ish) they'll be torn between loving him and hating him and their heads'll pop.

Win for Perchy!

Outstanding PP, time to retire..you will never top that!
Surely a contender for reply of the year in the annual STW awards?

Mumsnet's famous, we're not.

Also, PP is a genius.

Bloody hell! 😳

Just goes to prove that if you shovel enough shite then eventually you'll throw up a diamond.

I'm glad I didn't throw the line in about how he's a singlespeed type of guy now but had a brief flirtation with a full-bouncer in his youth.

Well, he wouldn't have to ask too politely to get a reach around off here now would he.

He obviously doesn't know that they can openly call him a cxx7 where as the worse he'd get here is judged on over use of spacers.
They love a good swear up.

Those numbers are out by a factor of three. We get around 3 million 'visits' a month.
We were on track for 2 million unique users in the last 30 days until the sunny bank holiday came and buggered that up.

It's not quite Corbyn, but part of a thread from this form was used on last year's AS English language paper for the meaning and representation question.

Mumsnet is ace, and curiously addictive. Come for the pregnancy and parenting advice, stay for the parking threads (with diagrams).

They also have pretty good product tests, I was gutted that I couldn't put myself forward for testing the Thule Chariot Cougar last year (was pregnant at the time, therefore didn't have a child to test with - still looking for a good trailer now our spawn is ten months old). 🙁
