I'd actually like to see them printed out, rolled into a cone, greased liberally and shoved up the OP's arses.

But that's just me Grin

Mintyy · 28/07/2012 15:07

Yanbu.

Report them all and ask hq to move them.

molepom · 28/07/2012 15:07

Agreed.

usualsuspect · 28/07/2012 15:07

Grin me too Worra.

At least I could hide the topic if they were all in one place.

Tee2072 · 28/07/2012 15:11

Wouldn't that be nice?

Tee2072 · 28/07/2012 15:12

I'd also like the ability to choose which MN Logo I see so I don't have to see that giant spliff torch for the duration.

usualsuspect · 28/07/2012 15:16

Yep, I would like a non spliff olympic logo, I had to live with the jubilee bunting for far too long.

No, not the OPs'.
It's Lord Bloody Coe who needs them all shoved.
And easy on the grease.

usualsuspect · 28/07/2012 16:07

Theres at least another 3 threads sprang up since I started this one.

Empusa · 28/07/2012 16:08

Grin at Worra! Oh yes please!

ScarletSmellyFeet · 28/07/2012 16:19

I agree, I contemplated bumping all the non Olympic threads purely to shove the Olympic ones off active combo but then I couldnt be arsed.

Charl75 · 28/07/2012 16:39

Don't read them then. Simple. Is this the AIBU police?

sensuallettuce · 28/07/2012 16:44

Annoying.

ScarletSmellyFeet · 28/07/2012 16:46

I don't read them but the hundreds of thread titles are logging up active and making it dull.

If they all went in London2012 I could hide the topic.

EdithWeston · 28/07/2012 16:47

Of the 50+ Jubilee threads, only about 3 were in "The Royal Family"

I agree with you about considerate posting (so those who want to hide the Olympics can conveniently do so via one topic) but MN as a whole just won't behave like that. The biggest shame is when in one or 4 years time, when e eryone wants to look back at the good threads, they'll be so scattered they may as well be lost

JamieandTheOlympicTorch · 28/07/2012 16:48

Worra

The torch is a cone, it's 3-sided in cross section to represent the Father The Son and the Holy Goat (or something)

JamieandTheOlympicTorch · 28/07/2012 16:48

the torch isn't a cone

poorbuthappy · 28/07/2012 16:48

Are we allowed a London2012 topic?
Are we an official sponsor?

usualsuspect · 28/07/2012 16:49

If they were all in one place I could hide them all in one go and they wouldn't appear in my active convo list.

OP posts:
Empusa · 28/07/2012 16:53

"Don't read them then. Simple."

It's tedious having to wade past them.

Plus it's annoying when the titles don't give away that it's more olympics bollocks, so you click on them expecting them to be worth reading.

ThisWeekonFancyPuffin · 28/07/2012 17:09

YANBU

Please put all Olympic topics in the Olympic topic, half of my active convos is bloody Olympics.

I don't care about an overpriced bloody sports day Angry

Do I get a medal for over use of the word Olympic?

JamieandTheOlympicTorch · 28/07/2012 17:12

I would support putting them all in one place

I don't want to have to wade through a bunch of misanthropic moaning minnies Wink

usualsuspect · 28/07/2012 17:15

I wouldn't moan about them if I couldn't see them

OP posts:
JamieandTheOlympicTorch · 28/07/2012 17:16

Usual

Exactly. I am agreeing with you.
