Hello again. Well, we've had a good old mull about this and we think, for now, we're going to leave things as they are.

There are so many different aspects to the whole swine flu ishoo, we reckon it's fine to have several different threads running at the moment (especially as some are very funny!)

Obviously, though, we'll be keeping an eye - and we certainly aren't ruling out having just the one thread if things change.

(ws being slightly (but not entirely) facetious!!)

BitOfFun · 29/04/2009 17:29

Flight, that has got to be the WORST way to decide whether to panic or not!!

scottishmummy · 29/04/2009 17:25

know it was unintentional but linking Madeleine McCann and swine flu bitty tacky

scottishmummy · 29/04/2009 17:20

dont think anyone advocates cover up just threads confined rather than spread like a virulent rash across the board

al the panicker's and doom sayers can huddle together and discuss contingency plans and what if's without a new swine flu thread popping up all the time

Flightattendant25 · 29/04/2009 17:15

No no I would rather there were no cover up on here, I gauge my own panic levels by counting the number of other people doing it iyswim.

If there are no threads visible when I take my hands awayopen active convs, I know there is no big news and can breathe.

However if that were artificially the case I would have to click on the thread to make sure. iyswim.

Saint2shoes · 29/04/2009 17:13

we had the JG deluge

scottishmummy · 29/04/2009 17:00

Yes, we've seen it, BitOfFun: we are squabbling deliberating carefully about it and will get back to you...

BitOfFun · 29/04/2009 15:48

Has anyone at HQ seen this yet? I must have hidden eight threads now...

Northernlurker · 27/04/2009 19:50

Whizzz · 27/04/2009 19:33

if there is just one thread, I'm going to post 'Atishoooooo' on it

pointydog · 27/04/2009 19:31

oh yesplease. Give them a thread. You think these people re bad now, wait until they get a cold and lock themselves indoors. They will take over every message board going.

Whizzz · 27/04/2009 19:29

I like the idea of a general 'PANIC' topic then I could block the whole lot!

Can we also have another topic called "What to call kids 'bits'" as I must have read at least 3057 threads with that title too

poopscoop · 27/04/2009 19:26

you wouldnt dare be seen buying truffles nowadays, you could be shot

foxinsocks · 27/04/2009 19:25
