Threads that should be banned. What's the point in them apart from annoying others? What purpose do they serve? Ban them!!

"I read this in the Daily Mail"

Threads relating to people on benefits/"poor people"

Racist threads

Sexist threads

Threads relating to others size/height

More bloody dolphin name threads.

Is it possible?? They do nothing but irritate people. Some clarity and set rules on here would be helpful, everyone is entitled to start threads but when they are started purly to annoy/upset then this is wrong.

Thanks.

Fluffy and notwaving: you are doing NOTHING for Gerry's nerves.

What do you want from us? Jumping tricks and squeaky noises? Eh? Eh?

I "customised" as well - it was soooooo easy and I too am liberated from postnatal/antenatal and ttc threads! No more BD for me!

LuluMaman · 05/08/2009 18:16

I cannot believe my mere mention of apple crumble diverted the thread

the apples were from the top of the tree

DH bought an apple picking gadget

yes, with vanilla custard

as you were......

Thanks Slubber.
Released from the agony of post natal threads.
I had no idea how to do that before.

I know I learned about BD on a rather fluffier forum I once frequented (no more!) and it made me

Have never been able to forget it.

Its "shagging" or "making luuuuuurve". Even when you are ttc!

I think they must be sprayed. I only tried them a couple of times, I now have one of those Lakeland wedgie things which I keep at work & take a whole apple in.

Rusty

My spelling is always awful.
I once posted about going downstairs in bear feet. No one laughed at me
You can correct me any time you want to. I promise to try and remember for next time

Could we have an appropriate ticker then do you think?

Isn't is something to do with how the apples are packaged? I think that they spray something on them to make them not go brown.

Is that because they spray them with something?

Have you tried an airtight box??

pagwatch - the words pot kettle & black spring to mind - or is it too controversial to correct spelling on MN....

Oh, and I've tried lemon juice and cling film and my apple slices are still brown by lunchtime. Tesco packs of sliced apple, on the other hand, stay unbrowned.

I have to admit I did, just as the blood was starting to boil.

The potential names are all repeated somewhere. I wouldn't want to be the one printing them/reading them.

at fluffy

I will now forever have a mental image of you glaring sternly at your laptop

MmeLindt · 05/08/2009 14:34

I know. I shuddered all day after reading about BDing.

Threads that should selfimplode:

Any thread with the mention of BD, BabyDust

ScaredOfCows · 05/08/2009 14:27

Goodness, just clicked on one of the dolphin name threads - how many potential names!!!

FluffyBunnyGoneBad · 05/08/2009 14:22

eeeuuuwwww

BD means baby dancing or shagging !

Seriously eeeuuuuwww

I was happier when i didn't know this.

So now I know about apples but know about BD. Not sure I am ultimately enriched

pagwatch · 05/08/2009 14:17

Psssst fluffy

Can i just make sure you know I was just teasing you
You posted this - my emphasis

True Mme. I'm fairly sure that people don't read them to get advice on chopping apples though. Lakeland sell knives that do this I think (or is that keep lettuce crisp when you chop it??). A little lemon juice is a proven method.

I always start threads with a smile. Apart from this one which was started with gripping teeth and a urge to bounce the laptop off a wall.

I resisted.
