AIBU?

to think that now it's Twelfth Night, we could get rid of that annoying S and AIBU should go back to being unReasonable again?!

Just that, really.
The tree is coming down...
So are the other decorations...
I reckon it's time for that S to go!

Flow breadcrumbs are a form of web navigation which show where in the site structure the user is located:

www.mumsnet.com ? Topics ? Am I being unseasonable
Home> Homeware > Furniture > Chairs > Comfortable Chairs

So, as with a trail of breadcrumbs, the user can navigate their way back from whence they came.

Gingerbread house ?

What's 'breadcrumbed', cumfy? It makes me think of Hansel and Gretel... Will there be a gingerbread house?! :)

But they've broken Google.

It's not that simple.

The pangalacticsearchmachine will need time to heal.

You need to leave one bit of holly up though, to burn on Shrove Tuesday.

Everything else should be down ( or up in the loft Grin) by now.

Well, I think 'unseasonable' should stay. It's always a season of something; Valentine's in a minute, Mothers' day soon after and then of course Easter etc.

And the co-op's already selling Easter Eggs beside the reduced unsold xmas cards.

Come on, where's your sense of spirit Grin Grin

decs came down last Friday

I noticed the S come in Flow4 but never noticed the change (well, lack of) in bar.

People used to say Decorations had to stay up all year if they weren't taken down in time...so we going to have these festive hats available to us till 2014 now? Xmas Grin

The web addresses in the search bar have always said R, Unacc, but the discussion board title and links have been saying S since before Christmas.

Well, Twelfth Night is now over, and the S and those f*ckin' festive smileys are still there... The question is, is Mumsnet Towers?! Shock Grin

Has it always said UnReasonable up there in the tool bar thingy or is that indication of imminent change?

Nope, 12th night is the evening of the 5th, and is 'epiphany-eve'.

12th day is epiphany, which is the 6th.

It might seem odd that the night comes first, but it comes from the tradition still used in Judaism that the day starts at sunset, and so the night came before the day.

You didn't look at Sauvignon's link , did you Mia? Hmm

And, um, sorry to poop your Epiphany party, but the Magi definitely won't have been expecting Christmas decorations... That stable wasn't very glittery... And tinsel wasn't invented until 1610... Grin

Twelfth night is the 6th of January. Epiphany. The Adoration of the Magi.

Did the three kings turn up, with their lovely gifts, to be told, "Oh, sorry, we're not doing Christmas anymore. We took the decorations down yesterday." Hmm

diaim - "Tradition is that they have to come down on the 6th" < < My tradition says they have to come down on the 5th. That's traditions for ya - sooooo fickle!

You are very, very wise Maryz... MNHQ will prolly give you a medal for saving their Tower or something... Grin

flow4. It's unlikely there's anyone in MNHQ over the weekend to take their decorations down on the website or in RL - there will just be poor Olivia on weekend duty again with her hand hovering over the Red Button to delete all the norty people Xmas Grin (see, I got another one in there Xmas Wink).
