Beans? So cliquey. I blame the tomato sauce. I just wish they'd make their threads more obvious so I could hide them.

once I swallowed half a bean and the thread stayed on and I had to pull it back out of my throat.

That was fucked up.

ShirleyO · 27/01/2012 12:17

But in fairness the OP isn't saying that is she? She's just saying "I saw a nobdie thread - din't read it"

It's like a little child's way of talking "I saw a car, a red car gone now, liked car bye car hello duck, DUCK! bye duck I want some bread to feed the duck and a cake I do not want beans"

They are sneaky. Once I innocently clicked on a thread entitled 'What shall I have for tea tonight?' thinking it would be an interesting debate on good/bad carbs, free-range v farmed, and whether to use that tub of fromage frais at the back of the fridge that was two days out of date.

But no. There they were, wallowing in sauce, discussing the merits of Heinz v own-brand. Brazen as you like. It was a Stealth Bean Thread.

Bastards.

beans shouldn't have threads.

Grin YABU OP.

I don't read them, I do hide the 'on-going' threads but only so other stuff comes to the top of my Active Convos page.

One day I will join a clique. One day, when there are more hours in the day as I spend too much time here already

I have a special affection for the Nobdies, no idea why, maybe because I know there is somewhere to go even if Nobody Knows Your Name

Deffo never mentioned cliques.

Just automatically assume it'll be a boring read as I don't understand most it.

Why start a thread on it? - because this is a thread forum.

You could go telling them to stop pasting recipes in the food topic but it's not quite the same is it - there is no nobdie topic section.

I don't understand Chinese. Must be a fucking boring language.

It's lovely to see that you're not at all defensive about anyone slightly objecting to repetitive nobdie threads :)

Cregg - great example. Infact completely the same that is Confused

If I'd have known you were all this funny and not at all aggressive I may have actually read a thread well done for changing my opinion of you!

Not everyone on the thread is a nobdie.

I think they are probably a bit poked off because these 'who the fuck are the nobdies' threads appear all the time. And as they say, it is chat.

In fairness I think if you start a thread being snarky about a bunch of posters based on not having read what they post, there is a reasonable likelihood that they will be a bit rude in return.
