amillionyears, just drop it fgs, you got what you wanted

HullyEastergully · 13/11/2012 16:36

BlameItOnTheCuervHoHoHo · 13/11/2012 16:35

Amillion, sometimes that happens. Why can't you accept that like everyone else?

Sorry that it took us a while - inbox is on fire today

We most certainly do NOT only check reports a couple of times a day; we check them constantly. But how quickly we can deal with them depends on how big our inbox is - and it's been a bit humongous today

I was going to say, its xenophobia, isn't it? Not racism?

No. Frogs. And toads. And spiders.

CindySherman · 13/11/2012 16:12

Good grief

VirginiaDare · 13/11/2012 16:10

Pretty sure that french is not a race, by any stretch, and frog is not racist.

PoppyAmex · 13/11/2012 16:09

Is "frog" racist?

I thought it was like "kiwi" for New Zealanders or "yank" for Americans?

HullyEastergully · 13/11/2012 16:04

I'm ahead of the curve

Greensleeves · 13/11/2012 16:03

Hully what the fuck are you doing in that Easter frock? In this weather?

It is making me twitch

HullyEastergully · 13/11/2012 16:02

French people? Where did you keep them?

BlameItOnTheCuervHoHoHo · 13/11/2012 15:59

well then.

unless greeny's right.

hully, I used to collect frogs. I love 'em.

Greensleeves · 13/11/2012 15:57

What are you suggesting, that MNHQ felt somehow threatened or compelled by you starting this thread into doing something they weren't otherwise going to do?

Really?

Next time, just wait!

HullyEastergully · 13/11/2012 15:56

do you mean frog is racist?

They started to get deleted 20 minutes after I started this thread.

I am a bit loathe to link it.
I think the op hid the thread.
The op had french connections.
2 posters were using the word frog.
