I think we need a lighthearted section

Am I the only one? I know you can't force humorous threads, but when one turns out just right, it would be lovely if it could be found under a specific section.

Right now you have to browse through numerous scary/sad threads to find that little gold nugget to brighten the day.

No

Who even uses that word. It’s a shit word. Tidally Facebook

theoriginalmadambee · 21/03/2020 13:44

Well thank you Confused. I'm foreign and am not on Facebook or Twitter.

Well aren't you a joy SambaMamba?

Agreed OP.

I agree OP. Plenty of joy sucking threads on here at the moment for you SambaMamba and while these are scary and uncertain times I think its important for our mental health to be able to find something to smile about.

iklboo · 21/03/2020 14:34

I suppose Sambamamba would prefer a We're All Doomed thread instead. Who made them word police anyway?

No OP you can't have a lighthearted thread. It's not allowed by the thread police Wink.

I do find it sad that we have to put lighthearted in thread titles and still you get jumped on by someone wanting to make you feel bad. Thank god I am not surrounded by them in RL.

theoriginalmadambee · 21/03/2020 14:45
Grin

Well, I think you find lighthearted all over mn and posters even get flamed if they don't say it in the opening post 🤷‍♀️.

But never mind this is the opposite of what I hoped for this thread, it wasn't meant to be sour, goady whatever but nice for those who need a boost. (I didn't even post it in AIBU Grin)

Go have a browse through Mumsnet Classics topic. Some hugely entertaining absolute gems to be found there. Also some I don't get why they're there, but there's no accounting for taste Grin

Dilbertian · 21/03/2020 14:49

I know you can't force humorous threads, but when one turns out just right, it would be lovely if it could be found under a specific section.

So what I mean is, it already exists.

WobblyAllOver · 21/03/2020 14:49

Oh I know they get jumped on without it in the title but can't imagine being THAT person who sees 'lighthearted' in the title and STILL chooses to post trying to bring the thread down. It's like saying misery loves company and no one else is allowed to be happy.

Despite all the shit in the world it's still nice to read something to make you happy.

WombleOfThigh · 21/03/2020 14:51

Instead of 'be kind', can we have 'don't be a cunt' instead?

WombleOfThigh · 21/03/2020 14:52

I felt that belonged on this thread Grin

theoriginalmadambee · 21/03/2020 14:54

You lot are lovely Grin.

@Dilbertian i love mn classics 😍.

theoriginalmadambee · 21/03/2020 14:55

womble spot on, and now you can't even call it the c.. word. Though one just as bad as the other.

OP posts:
WombleOfThigh · 21/03/2020 14:57

Perhaps MN needs a 'don't be a cunt' topic?

WombleOfThigh · 21/03/2020 14:58

Reclaim cunt!

WombleOfThigh · 21/03/2020 14:58

We Thighlanders are making a big effort to do so.

Windyatthebeach · 21/03/2020 14:59

Some lovely moments of my shit awful week are...
Ds 5 rode his bike at last!!
Dd's are getting among for a change.
Dpuppy woke me up yesterday like she hadn't seen me for weeks! Gave me a lovely start to an awful day! First time she had managed to open the bedroom door!

YoTheGinPussyOfStMawesOnThigh · 21/03/2020 15:01

How about a Don’t be a cat’s bum topic for the sad acts who don’t like cunt being used.

AuntieStella · 21/03/2020 15:03

If all CV post are in the topic, and you hid the whole topic for a couple of hours a day, you'd find a whole different MN

YoTheGinPussyOfStMawesOnThigh · 21/03/2020 15:03

Yeth us Thighlanders are working round the clock to bring a little sprinkle of piss instead of fairy dust into everyone’s lives at present.

DanglyTasselsOfThigh · 21/03/2020 15:06

Thighland is your thriend at the moment, your very welcome to come over in your best slanket and have a nice relaxing piss with us.

It's ok we've disinfected the thread.

With piss!

We are cheering the th'nation!!

WombleOfThigh · 21/03/2020 15:07

Yeth, piss is sterile! Not actually true.
