To nominate a topic for an MN ban this week?

[Retiremental]

In no particular order, mine would be

AIBU to spend Christmas with seventy million people?

AIBU to be pissed off with my present from DH?

What’s yours?

Can we ban selfish too? I wish I had £1 for every time I’ve seen that this year.

Anything about Emma Thompson's performance in Love Actually.

In fact anything at all about Live Actually

How many threads do we need?

[quote GlummyMcGlummerson]@Retiremental no we can't, but can we ban the word "gifted".

My son was gifted a NERF gun.

DH gifted me an iron.

Grrrr[/quote]
Grrrr is going on the banned list!!

And what’s wring with Emma Thomson?

Ban threads asking for other threads to be banned.

Have we had ‘Settle a debate with DH. Is Die Hard a Christmas movie?’ yet?

@Retiremental deranged and ranting can go on the "bad list" too. Also "bad list".

Teachers are lazy, inconsiderate wankers.

Doh I mean banned list!

@JaneJeffer

Ban threads asking for other threads to be banned.

Even the ones with ‘Lighthearted’ in the title?

Also, threads suggesting "we should have a lockdown and no schools over X Y and Z date".

Please can we ban threads where anyone mentions ‘hot choc sachets and marshmallows in a hamper’? They make me want to throw my phone directly in their faces
Other than that, I find many of the above suggestions incredibly entertain so I don’t want them banned!

Ban any poster who demands to know what tier the op is in and completely ignores the op. For example I'm thinking of cooking beef this year and not bothering with a turkey.
1st response. What tier are you in, because you can't have turkey unless your(sic) in tier 94.
I was going to add, ban all posters making up the Roolz but that could involve a lot of bans!!!

Since when has a Die Hard thread proved entertaining?

Especially those @Retiremental

@CatholicKidston

Never mind banning them, where are all the 'my PIL are starving us' threads?? I love them!

OMG me too. Especially when it transpires they were 'only' given 4 roast potatoes with the shit tonne of other food on their plate, and everyone sympathises and tells them to order a passive aggressive takeaway 🤣🤣

Threads on Christmas Eve night about how people's DH is in the Xbox and they have 40 squillion veg to prepare and the baby has woken up. We could just have a PSA that says "Stop making so much food and strap on a pair"

How long does it take to defrost a turkey?

Ahem

Can I preempt the Christmas Day rush of:
Is this Turkey green?/does this Turkey look off?/Will we die if eat this Turkey?
Eat it or don’t eat it, or go vegetarian, I don’t care

@WorraLiberty a passive aggressive takeaway 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Also the "No one is helping me" threads in Christmas Day. Use that big wet thing that's in your mouth and ask your family!

Please can we ban the 'Charity donations instead of Christmas cards' threads.

Along with the usual remarks of "selfish and lazy", "why don't they give up something else" and, of course "virtue signalling".

anything which uses the phrase "until it is deemed safe to do so" 🤮

Nothing wrong with Emma Thompson but as @Bloodypunkrockers perfectly put it "how many threads do we need?"
Every year hundreds of mumsnetters gather around to pay homage to Emma Thompson you would think she's the one sliding down the chimney and delivering the presents.
