Your stories about yummy mummies - light hearted fun

[Robert Poste's Child]

Bit rich having a pop at a group of people for giving their kids pretentious names at the same time as calling Forest Hill South Dulwich yourself.

Numbers, I think malumbu was saying that she is guilty of parenting which could also sometimes be seen as amusing. I.e. "I'm laughing at us, not at them".

But I've always found the yummy mummy term a bit off, like there's an implication that as soon as you have a child you should ditch your mates and replace your wardrobe.

FYI

There's a Quince tree on Tell Grove or Matham Grove

It's been there since the 'old days'. The tree overhangs the pavement, so they're free at the right time of the year

For some reason Malumbu is the only poster for whom I hear their voice as I'm reading their words. And for some reason I hear a 48 year old quite refined Jamaican gent. Always smiling as he gently teases with his harmless but annoyingly inane posts.

Does anyone else hear voices like this as they read or is it just me?

It's just you Mr Ben.

I tend to get mental images more than voices. For you I get Mr Ben, obviously (nice hat, funny walk). Jah Lush I see with dreadlocks (I know), Jeremy in corduroy (sorry sorry), Seabag in a grey hoodie (you need a shave), ???? with a hint of D-Day in Animal House (is that handgun registered?).

That may be why I found the forum drinks a bit of an anti-climax, now I come to think of it.

[Robert Poste's Child]

For you I get a cowboy hat.

Next Forum Drinks: Fancy dress. Theme? 'Yummy Mummies', obviously.

[Robert Poste's Child]

Maybe you could get it sponsored by Boden.

It would be more fun if the theme was 'come as your forum persona'. Some people might need a costume change though.
