To fuck OFF.

Many examples recently of people appointing themselves thread curator and being rude, annoying and pointy finger ish to other posters who disagree with them.

It annoys me more than it should.

You're in bed? I haven't even had dinner yet.

Sparklingbrook · 24/06/2017 21:13

I am going up to bed shortly to watch my massive bedroom TV.

High If I hear one more time about how he met that girl I am going to punch my computer.

Highalert · 24/06/2017 21:14

I say pah to the thread police. Pah!

wildbhoysmama · 24/06/2017 21:14

Right, no text speak. Got it. Unusual that a conversation on the internet sticks to formality. I'm all for it, actually, as am a bit of a secret pedant ( it can be argued that it's a prerequisite for my job, so I'm not an arsehole really).
Glad I now have that sorted. Still don't get why 'pah'is so awful, but point taken , you are the police of the police after all.

Highalert · 24/06/2017 21:15

The TV in your bedroom police will arrest you , Sparkling.

Sparklingbrook · 24/06/2017 21:15

If we are going to say 'pah' we might as well say 'Gordon Bennett!' and have done with it.

I know High and my sleep hygiene will be ruined again. I am going to watch it with the curtains and window open to goad the TV in bedroom police helicopters.

I liked this bit Jesus, is George Orwell's ghost part of MNHQ? Do they not know language is a moving, changing chameleon of an animal and if we know how to write well why not have text speak for brevity and speed?
The flow...but no, txt spk sucks baws.

Highalert · 24/06/2017 21:16

Can we say Crikey?

RaspberryBeretHoopla · 24/06/2017 21:17

Be a little more frugal with the exclamation marks, there, wild

Lweji · 24/06/2017 21:17

MN is very unusual.

Unique even.

YesMadamDeputySpeaker · 24/06/2017 21:17

Smile I'm on my way! I'll bring my electric blanket..

Sparklingbrook · 24/06/2017 21:17

Only if you are Crocodile Dundee High.

You are allowed to go to bed but only to sleep. Bedrooms are for sleeping only. Anything else and it will make your brain fall out.

wildbhoysmama · 24/06/2017 21:19

It was indeed a Blackadder reference. Did I say I was a geek as well as a pedant? Thanks High and Navy the sisterhood and all that. I have heard it in RL but maybe that's because my mates are geeks too!

KatieScarlett · 24/06/2017 21:19

Are they from love honey too?
(still bitter about Clopy and the sex swing)

Lweji · 24/06/2017 21:19

Lordy is the new Crickey.

RaspberryBeretHoopla · 24/06/2017 21:20

I swear with all manner of religiosity all the time on MN.

I haven't been policed for it as of yet but I am sure the day will come.

Sparklingbrook · 24/06/2017 21:20

We used to quote Blackadder a lot in the 80s.
