New Topic Needed for all things related to the Queens deaths

I dont know if there is a royal topic but could we have a new topic for all the threads that are going to be started about the death of the Queen. Otherwise they will be all over the place.

Thank you

Totally agree OP, so much faux sympathy. It’s crass.

I think you'd have to have a break from EVERYTHING to get away from it!

Show quote history

I wish! It's going to be relentless.

You mean like the "all covid things" one? That worked so well.

Have a break from MN for a bit, it's going to be weird around here.

We really don't. She'll only die once.

Try doing something else instead.

Oh please. Any time there is any big news story, we get threads like this.

Just do something else if you don't want to read these threads. The chat about it will be short lived.

I think at the moment its appropriate for them to be posted in general topics. Its a huge historic event. You might just need to avoid SM in general for a while

There's a royal topic. I've just hidden ten from active and kept the one I'm on. Will hide this one next 😂

Yeah, I think I'll have to do the same. I was just hoping I could hide the whole topic. Might have to avoid all the news for a while. I can't stand the simpering and hushed tones

I think we may just have to endure the saturation for a bit, OP. It is quite big news.

For a start, no one is going to post in the right place - they never do!

SoupDragon · 08/09/2022 18:54

Don't be ridiculous 😂
