The Story of Pie and Bovril - The Story of All of Us

Harsh. It is undeniable that it has it's roasters, but level up from the juniors???? It's no worse than any other section of the site.

Any story should mention the site's number one poster Booitsme7 who averages about 60 posts every day since he joined.

He averages 60 posts a day yet contributes absolutely nothing in any of them.

The BRALT was absolutely immense when the news first broke. The fact it's still going is mental and I'm sure it's awful now, but at the time I was just sitting refreshing the page it was so funny.

I mind a picture of Magee being found on the Gas Safe Register or something, him having a meltdown about it and the picture getting used at every turn for a while.

You also have to include the boy who came on for advice about his trainers scam - was it not yourself who got his bank details? :D

(Date Unknown - approximately 6-7 years ago): User "JohnnyDougDogg" promises to post dirty pictures of his ex on the classic Random Self Shooters thread. The filth merchants of PnB waited. But it was not to be. He bottles it and fails to post the pics. Despite having only 302 posts and being an extremely infrequent user of the site, Johnny has a reputation of -571. In terms of post to rep ratio this must be some kind of record.

He is still haunted to this very day.

I think it needs to mentioned that the Mumsnet debacle eventually reached the pages of Private Eye, unquestionably Pie and Bovril's halcyon days as a popular cultural influence.

Edit: and, slightly less honourably, the pages of the Daily Record, in which we got called laddish football fans or something, and Div made a politely worded comment.

A GROUP of male football fans took on a women’s forum in a war of words – and lost.

Members of website Pie and Bovril started the row by saying Mumsnet was full of “hairy-legged man-haters”.

But when it came to insults, the women proved they were way ahead of the game.

They hit back with a stream of foul-mouthed tirades against the footie fans, branding them “a crowd of gobsh***s” and renaming the website Pie and B*llocks.

The comments got so offensive that site administrators at Pie and Bovril banned Mumsnet “trolls” from their site.

And bosses on the Scottish football fans’ forum have asked members not to goad the?women again.

Pie and Bovril founder David McDonald told members: “OK guys, think this one has gone far?enough now. If you want to troll Mumsnet for whatever reason, then that’s your own lookout. But please don’t do it in the name of P&B as I don’t want anything to do with it.

“Let’s give it a bye now before it gets serious.”

Some of the 25,000 members of Pie and Bovril thought it would be funny to post fake queries on Mumsnet.

They asked daft questions about “eating mushy peas with placenta”, “my wife’s weight” and “husbands and homemade porn”.

One Pie and Bovril member posed as a mum who was considering sending her son away to live with her wealthy sister – a spoof of the storyline of US hit show The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.

The blokes also posted insults on their own chat forum, branding Mumsnet as “the most twee, sickening, sycophantic bunch of crones in north-western Europe”.

But they were unprepared for the backlash. In a thread that ran to more than 1000 posts, Mumsnet members used language that would turn heads in the stands of any football ground and claimed “real men watch rugby”.

Last night, David claimed the comments that flew back and forth were “just a bit of banter”.

He added: “I spoke to the ladies who run Mumsnet and we both decided to call a halt to the thing.

“When you are running big communities, these things happen from time to time.”

But Mumsnet founder Justine Roberts said: “It’s a fact that the internet massively eases the ability to communicate and an unfortunate by-product is that it allows unpleasant people to communicate more easily too.

“Women all over the web tend to be a target for misogynistic trolling and, of course, Mumsnet – as a predominantly female space – is no exception.”

Mumsnet Vs P&B was a draw!!

That article was written by one of the hairy-legged man-haters themselves and conveniently ommited Sparklingbrook getting her chebs out in the NSFW section.

N.B are folk aware that it wasn't actually Sparklingbrook that got her chebs out? It was a fellow Mumsnetter who held a grudge against her!
