there is a very odd choice in the discussions of the day box.

[TheLogLady]

someone been on the gin at lunchtime?

who gets to choose them anyway?

[Tee2072]

Could you be more specific?

[TheLogLady]

the Girl called Amelie one.

it's not offensive, it's not controversial, it doesn't make me angry or cry or laugh. it's just the normal everyday type of bumph that happens on MN.

so why did it make discussion of the day?

it's weird.

[Tee2072]

Is The King's Speech one any of those things? (I've not read either of them, BTW)

Baby names are v popular discussions, you know, ackershally.

On a more serious note, we try to pick discussions of the day that reflect the whole range of MN discussions.

And we'd probably had a bit too much gin...
