to wonder when MNHQ introduced the policy to delete threads simply because people are disagreeing?

[Mamaz0n]

I was just on a thread.
There was a disagreement over whether or not something was racist/offensive.

I could see no personal attacks, there was nothing that breached the talk guidelines.
I have no idea why the thread has been deleted.

So i can only assume it was because there was a disagreement on it.

Is this a new policy? Will we be seeing the vast majority of all threads being deleted now then?

The 'orphanage' thread yesterday was hilarious (after the beginning bit) and even though I've been here about 5 years I'm not royalty. Noone knows who I am because a) I don't post very much and b) I name change a LOT. I like to be all enigmatic and shit (as if anyone would notice!).

I have seen threads in the past where I've thought some of the more well known posters (not the ones on here I don't think) will pile in and it looks a bit like they've called up the troops to come and have a go but the 'day orphanage' thread was NOT one of them. I didn't see the other threads because they got deleted too quick.

I thought it was 'Whay aye, man woman?'

I am from the area (kind of) and would say "wey aye man"
(well I wouldn't say it, but if i did, that is how I would mentally spell it)

I thinin Sunderalnd it would be pronounce as Whay and Geordies Whey/wey IYSWIM

I used to think that the Watford Gap was in Watford, where George Michael and Geri Halliwell are from and often wondered why people mentioned it in reference to the North / South divide since it's only at bit outside London

But then I also fervently agreed with the poster the other week who said that Wigan shouldn't have a pier because it isn't on the coast. DH was like this for a week as he does like to mock my geographical "knowledge"

I've forgotten what the OP was now.

*think in (what a divvy) i am

Fifi - you did realise the ill educated arse was a joke, right? [worries]

Anyway, I disagree with your scholarly summation. It is the 'aye' that means yes. They 'why' is a meaningless qualifier used in other dialects as well as Geordie.

Why aye = why yes.

But let us not fight amongst ourselves. Let us instead go forth and stand united against anti-northernism which is rife on MN. Particularly by MN royalty.

[persecution complex triggered by SHirley being meeeean yesterday]

In fact my very Geordie grandad used to say 'why nooooo' as well.

Eee i thought you were being serious hence defensive

Anyway moving on

The hoppins are on at the moor on the 17th of July.

There was an ill educated arse insult being discussed just before you posted.

I remember the Hoppins. It was like a parallel world. No matter how long you walked you never reached the end. You just kept passing more waltzers.

you are all racists and making fun of my heritage

fancy a drink

oh no that might be making fun of my heritage

The Northern gang have bullied their way into the MN playground now. Am feeling excluded.

only the the lonely
dum do da doobie doo aah

The North is ok
The South is good too

But which one is better ?

There's only one way to find out

You need to be part of the diaspora of ex-forces children Finallyspring.
We belong everywhere and nowhere.
Um...not that I'm saying anything to do with travelling you understand.

'I've been a wild rover for manys the year...'

Am really upset to read here that WWIFN has left MN. I hope she decides to come back as she is an amazing poster, who has offered a great deal of wisdom and support to people at a time when they desperately need it.

It's getting late have you seen my mates
Ma tell me when the boys get here
It's seven o'clock and I want to rock
Want to get a belly full of beer
My old man's drunker than a barrel full of monkeys
And my old lady she don't care
My sister looks cute in her braces and boots
A handful of grease in her hair
chorus
Don't give us none of your aggravation
We had it with your discipline
Saturday night's alright for fighting
Get a little action in

Get about as oiled as a diesel train
Gonna set this dance alight
'Cause Saturday night's the night I like
Saturday night's alright, alright, alright

wtf happened to my thread?

Im a saaarf londoner and i will not be bullied by you northerners. Its my thread, mine i tell you

all those people having Watford Gap/Wigan Pier difficulties do realise that Portsmouth is an island? Yes?

Kungfu £5 a ride now on some of them. Its not as good as it used to be. I dont even think they have goldfish anymore.

In the naughty north
and in the sexy south

We're all singing and I have the mouth

Roy Harper used to smoke spliffs onstage didn't he? DP has seen him live loads of times.

How does the tune go to that one tigerbomb ?
