Which subject would you like?

SleepySuzy · 09/04/2012 13:09

I must admit its been a bit boring here the last few days...

StealthPolarBear · 09/04/2012 13:09

I know, me too. Bit of p and t parking would be very welcome just now

GreenEyesAndHam · 09/04/2012 13:10

I want some dancing monkeys, bring on the DANCING MONKEYS!

Sparklingbrook · 09/04/2012 13:11

I haven't seen anything controversial to start a thread about today. Only been to the pet shop. Grin

TallyMeBanana · 09/04/2012 13:11

I'm not really sure as most subjects have already been done to death!

I'm looking for some inspiration!

There was good thread yesterday about how angry somebody was because all the shops were closed on Easter Sunday. It didn't last long though before it was pulled. It was good fun while it lasted though.

FoofyShmooffer · 09/04/2012 13:12

Parking me arse right here waiting.

hum hum hum

let me know when you see one.

Sparklingbrook · 09/04/2012 13:13

I saw that one. Didn't realise it went poof!

I also didn't realise what a bunfight state v private schools was. I wandered onto an education thread by mistake. Shock

Megatron · 09/04/2012 13:13

I'm in a foul mood today I could start a thread calling everyone a twat and see if that works? Might cheer me up a bit.

TallyMeBanana · 09/04/2012 13:14

Please do Megatron

Wait until I've made a cuppa though.

yes, call everyone a twat and say thay have to explain why they aren't Megatron.

StealthPolarBear · 09/04/2012 13:15

Insanverre did the op of hat thread ever clarify why she thought only English people were Christians?

marriedinwhite · 09/04/2012 13:16

Tattoos and piercings anyone?

MargueritaaPracatan · 09/04/2012 13:17

MN controversial subject go in cycles, I happen to love the ones along the lines of if you wear make up you're lacking in confidence with terrible skin and time spent applying mascara could be time spent teaching your children macarame, you know, of that ilk. I'm sure there'll be one along soon though.

StealthPolarBear · 09/04/2012 13:18

Someone getting a tattoo in a disable parking spot as they were only going to be 10 mins and all the p and t ones were taken?

Megatron · 09/04/2012 13:18

I'm not very brave though. What if everyone turns on me and I become the latest MN pariah? I might get some 'here have my very first Biscuit's and everything. You'd all deny you told me to do it and I'd have to leave forever.

MargueritaaPracatan · 09/04/2012 13:18

Or even macrame - that actually means something!

MargueritaaPracatan · 09/04/2012 13:20

Just hide the thread, Megatron. Don't allow your blood pressure to rise, that's the beauty of MN!

TallyMeBanana · 09/04/2012 13:21

How about old people having a go at young disabled drivers parking in the disabled bays?

Old C#'*s

Just go on any old thread and call someone a troll.
They always get heated.
Just joking MNHQ Grin

Megatron · 09/04/2012 13:22

OK so we're talking twats, piercing and tattoos (preferably on babies), P & C parking and perhaps a smattering of fruit shoots?

Astr0naut · 09/04/2012 13:23

AIBU to want to drive up to the shop to see if there are any cut price easter eggs, because when dh went, he 'forgot' to look for me?

marriedinwhite · 09/04/2012 13:24

I once said I wasn't extravagant and only used No 7 and there were pages of posters telling me that was the height of luxury and I didn't know I was born.

Or, we could get Xenia to start a thread about how mothers are worthless and should be teaching their daughters that the only way is to work 23 hours a day at something corporate even though they might only have an nvq in childcare and are very happy being a mummy.

FatherHankTree · 09/04/2012 13:24

How about 'AIBU to think only people with degrees from RG universities should have children?'
