Can we have a fun thread?

I will even put if that helps?

I just want a bit of a laugh. There no chatting rubbish, having a joke threads any more.

I dont like it. At all.

Where are the amusing, dont need to feel superior to everyone else people?
Could you all just come in here and hide for a while? I will provide alcohol. And food.

You can have my axe.

Whatever you don't look at this poxy thread then Tanty!

LadyBeagleEyes · 09/01/2014 13:23

It all went tits up on NYE when Mn closed down the site for jokey threads IMO.
People that come here for a laugh have left in their droves, I'm on a lot less these days.

TallGiraffe · 09/01/2014 13:24

You need to start listening to the Archers. That's where all the fun chat is now... Grin

CaptainHindsight · 09/01/2014 13:24

Booze AND food you say? Reporting for duty!

Do you want me to start a thread under Sheffieldguy13 and you can all form a orderly queue?

Or shall we just get leathered and talk shite? Grin

TantrumsAndBalloons · 09/01/2014 13:24

Oh I saw that one Mintyy

Joyful, isnt it? Grin

MN closed the site?!

Really?!

Heartbrokenmum73 · 09/01/2014 13:27

I'm just waiting for someone from the PO brigade to turn up now and say why this thread is all kinds of wrong.

Were any of you on the 'This Just Isn't On?' (I think) thread the other day, about having a goat? It was loads of fun, but someone turned up 'why do you all think it's ok to laugh at the poor?' - erm, I am poor! I didn't feel laughed at - I joined in. It was the antidote to all the benefit bashing we've had lately (thanks Ch4).

BaileyWhite · 09/01/2014 13:29

Sadly MNHQ promoting that other thread all over social media has increased the chances that trolly threads will gain quarter on here. And more and more posters are being suckered in by them.

They have given them permission.

TantrumsAndBalloons · 09/01/2014 13:30

But its just so earth shatteringly dull.

Its like "if you do not agree with me you are wrong. And a bitch. And entitled. And 9 million other things

You cant laugh at anything any more. Ever.

You do know lots of people are facing early deaths from drinking too much alcohol and eating too much food. Why would you think it is lighthearted to ask people to join you in doing that?

and I am joking!!

Heartbrokenmum73 · 09/01/2014 13:33

A couple of us were called 'Katie Hopkins-like' a few days ago because we disagreed with another poster. Is there a worse insult around at the moment?

Confused

Hmmm... have to agree there ain't much fun round here these days. Noticed last night and again now (lunch hour) scanning Active convos, usually guaranteed to distract me for the full hour that there is nothing lighthearted.

AbbeyBartlet · 09/01/2014 13:36

I was on that thread Heartbroken - it was awesome! Funny how there was the discussion about PO and irony bunting and then someone came along and complained!

ExitPursuedByABear · 09/01/2014 13:37

Agree it is Dullsville round here at the moment. Loads of familiar names missing.

We need fun. But I am unable to provide any.

Heartbrokenmum73 · 09/01/2014 13:39

I'm having the most fun not perving at all on the 'Sherlock kissing' thread at the moment.

Just lots and lots of links to Benedict Cumberbatch in all his hotness - yum!

Apologies to anyone who thinks he looks like 'uncooked pastry' (as one poster put it Grin

Ilovexmastime · 09/01/2014 13:39

Why did MN shut down the site? Bloody hell, take a week off and miss all the drama.... and I'm a right drama llama me, orgle (noise a llama makes apparently!)

thekitchenfairy · 09/01/2014 13:40

This did happen about 5 years ago old gimmer alert but it will pick up again! Think people get nosey and site attracts a lot of people who wouldn't usually bother when MN has been in the media.

thekitchenfairy · 09/01/2014 13:40

'what happened new yrs eve?

TantrumsAndBalloons · 09/01/2014 13:41

Well can they all fuck off again then? Please?

I am having to do actual work today. This is not a good thing. But theres nothing else to do.

AbbeyBartlet · 09/01/2014 13:42

I think that some posters feel that people should only comment if they totally agree that the OP is 100% in the right about everything.

Definitely more fun threads needed!
