Hi folks,

We'd like to add some more topics that have been requested but to do that we need to retire a few less well used ones or the talk home page will be unfeasibly long... so here are our suggestions:

Hello to:
Am I being unreasonable?
Geek stuff
The sandwich generation (elderly parents etc)

Goodbye to:
Member profiles
Christmas (until about August at least)
Creative writing - sorry budding authors - would you mind using other subjects/ culture vultures from now on?
Sports (other subjects for you too please sports fans if you don't mind?)

Please do let us know if you've any violent objections.
Best,
MNHQ

I am sad that member profiles has gone - I used to look people up on there sometimes

hatwoman · 02/02/2007 23:10

If member profiles goes can we only post photos through our new member profile thing (if that makes sense)? I think it would be quite nice to still be able to put photos up. thanks for keeping the runners thread going!

Just read a suggestion for an adult topic as people keep complaining about the type of sex threads.

Saggarmakersbottomknocker is this the thread you mean? We'll move it over. Thanks

foundintranslation · 29/01/2007 21:25

I've always thought having current affairs and In the news was a bit much - surely one or the other would do, or both in one?

Saggarmakersbottomknocker · 29/01/2007 21:21

There's a long running (excuse the pun!) Runners thread in Sports but I think we've been in Health before. If you get rid of Sports can you move it over? Thanks.

foxtrot · 29/01/2007 21:13

please keep skiing or maybe change it to winter sports, for the dog sledders amongst us ?
Love the idea of travel with/without kids.

MerlinsBeard · 29/01/2007 20:51

jampot · 29/01/2007 14:20

snort at zippi

he did it OUTSIDE????

jampot · 29/01/2007 14:18

no objections to those either but like suzy i dont understand teh sandwich generation =. if its to discuss/complain about elderies can it not go in am i being unreasonable.

Flamesparrow · 29/01/2007 14:16

Nooo, don't say things like that!!! Tis my only excuse!

nailpolish · 29/01/2007 13:32

you can be green AND have a clean hoose you know

fennel · 29/01/2007 13:31

am a bit at the idea that the environment could be subsumed into Good Housekeeping. Some of us don't DO housekeeping, good or otherwise. especially as it's greener to do less housekeeping - all those polluting chemicals avoided in the dirty but organic household.

but Environment could be under Other subjects.

Flamesparrow · 29/01/2007 13:24

Gameboy - Debt free 2007 is for budgetting

Are there seriously several different travel sections??? I never go anywhere so haven't a clue!

zippitippitoes · 29/01/2007 12:49

Travel could be

with children and without children..that's pruned to two topics

nailpolish · 29/01/2007 12:44

ys the tradesperson topic a bit useless

as is travel - thats too bitty - doesnt need to be split up so much

LOL at geek topic - my dh visits geek forums (hes in IT) they dotn discuss IT tho - just argue over the size of Cat Deeleys tits etc

CD are you really going dog sledding? With your own dog?

piglit · 29/01/2007 12:37

Every tradesperson that comes to my house has a massive smelly poo in my downstairs loo. I just don't understand why. Even the man who had just emptied the septic tank.

zippitippitoes · 29/01/2007 12:32

well he was outside and I am inside i think the light must reflect on the window so he doesn't realise i can see them..
