Cleaning up the royal threads

Would it be possible to move all the royal threads into the royal section? And then put a banner up telling people to go to the royal section. There are currently at least 4 threads going just in _chat.

DS1 is doing his GCSEs my fuse will be very short. I will probably be found effing and jeffing all over MN, offend everybody and be banned by June.

I thought it would be safe after 7th May... Sad I really did.

Koalafications · 04/05/2015 18:59

Sad yes, you are right AuntieStella

Sparklingbrook · 04/05/2015 18:58

I meant the polling and everything else. A week should do it.

AuntieStella · 04/05/2015 18:55

"Once the election is done and dusted what's next for MN to debate/argue about I wonder?"

If you mean just the polling, then right next will be days of coalition/pact negotiations.

Sparklingbrook · 04/05/2015 18:52

I have made a pact with myself to hide any cat poo threads straight away, before the loons arrive ditto P&C parking. I am done with them.

Koalafications · 04/05/2015 18:39

Hello Sparkling, no we haven't Grin

Agree, it will be back to cat shit, bashing people on benefits and P&C parking spaces. I almost feel nostalgic about those threads...

Cat shit, probably.

Hello Koala I haven't seen you on a thread lately where we have done a Hmm in unison. Sad Grin

Once the election is done and dusted what's next for MN to debate/argue about I wonder?

Koalafications · 04/05/2015 18:19

Oh and if you could also move the endless bloody "who should I vote for?" "Am I being unreasonable to vote for the Tories to stop UKIP?" to the 'Politics' topic that would make me very happy.

I can then hide that topic and escape this shite. [grumpy]

Koalafications · 04/05/2015 18:14

Please MNHQ?

Pretty please?

It's getting really tedious now... Sad

AuntieStella · 04/05/2015 15:10

ITV have published a name, but there hasn't been an official announcement: www.itv.com/news/update/2015-05-04/princess-of-cambridge-named-charlotte-elizabeth-diana/

Yes, ther's a new thread about it. Hope that's it. Not dozens more.

Sparklingbrook · 04/05/2015 15:09

Charlotte Elizabeth Diana

NEXT!

Sparklingbrook · 04/05/2015 14:38

MNHQ think the worst is over with the Royal threads. They haven't announced a name yet. There will be gushing/criticism for days.

FeckoffandDie · 04/05/2015 14:28

I do think we need a topic cull and a harsher approach to requests for new ones.

Weight lifting? How many people actually use that enough to make it deserving of its own bedroom?

There are FAR too many.

Sparklingbrook · 04/05/2015 14:25

YY I have voted by post and the baby has been born.

NEXT!

Behooven · 04/05/2015 14:21

I quite like the initial royal baby chat but it's kind of over now.

Time to get on with a seasonal 'cat poo in my garden' or similar instead.

Sparklingbrook · 04/05/2015 14:16

Ah yes Maryz-very true. Grin

Can we have a 'Tedious Topic'. Stick everything in there?

Original poster
trufflesnout · 04/05/2015 13:28

There are way more than 4. And Maryz is right, a lot are not solely about the birth of the baby but things discussing how George and Kate dress.

There are half a dozen threads just in baby names, from the 'guess the name of the baby' 'siblings for George' and worried posters with impending births wanted reassurance that 'Wills and Kate' won't use 'their' baby name.

Tedious doesn't begin to cover it.
