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?

People moaning about specific aspects of Xmas that they hate and pretending not to understand them. Like Christmas Eve boxes, Christmas bedding, outdoor lights... Just don't fucking do it then, Hyacinth

Oh yes the Is This A Thing Brigade .

No it's a nice add-on that I do for my DC to make things nicer for their Christmas .

It isn't A Thing
It isn't compulsary
No-one will arrest you if you buy or don't buy a Christmas Eve Hamper . And it doesn't spoil them it's a few sweets and a pair of PJs in a box with some other items .

Ban non stop moaning about fireworks. The hamster lady may come back to tell us how her hamster is traumatised.

[quote GlummyMcGlummerson]@TheSilentStars I sometimes say teacher here but ONLY when it's relevant - like when people post saying the school summer term should be extended into August, so I'll say "Teacher here - fuck off". I don't go on random threads about hating your MIL and say "Teacher here - she sounds like a dick" [/quote]
On this post Glummy I agree and hereby also banish 'AIBU to think all teacher say...do......' bangs gavel

Eurgh hunker down makes me think of my lovely cats when they do that arched body shape to have a dump in their tray ......and the look they give you .

Yeah so what , can't a cat Hunker Down in peace ?
This isn't a Zoo

Brexit

Boris Johnson is a terrible leader

Corona related posts - rules etc

We must shut the schools

I always enjoy the slew of "I'm so disappooooooooiiiiiiiiiinted with my presents" thread that you get on boxing day. Sometimes on Christmas day itself

Any threads about where to get the family matching Christmas pyjamas ever, never mind the week before Christmas.

Have we had a Handmaidenery "I don't know why people say the world is harder for women, my DH has agreed to boil the potatoes" thread yet?

@Iminaglasscaseofemotion

Yes to the phrase "bubbling up". There are quite a few words and phrases that I think should be completed eradicated from the English language after this. Or at least made a criminal offence to use in certain contexts.

Can we add 'DS's bubble has popped' what the Dickens does that even mean

@Wheresmykimchi there's a live one at the moment about teachers working through August - but don't worry Kimchi, she says we can have January off! Huzzah! Everyone knows that in January, Greece is the place to be so I'll just cancel my summer holiday for a shit one 😂

@FoxyTheFox

Or "teacher here" etc Like you're the only one ever to have posted on MN and your word is gospel, even though every single one and of the preceding posts has said "in my school" or "with my year tens" etc

Any job "here". I always think to myself "are you really?" because I could announce "train driver here" and no one would know that I'm not.

Even more annoying is "as a man" or "from a male perspective". Strap yourself in, ladies, a Man Hath Arrived...

Also see 'as a nurse...'

Anyone talking about “PJs”. Christmas really brings it out. Makes me want to throw something at the screen. Pyjamas. It’s not that difficult. I really don’t get why pyjamas has to be shorted tk two random letters. These people don’t says “TSs” for trousers or “GVs” for gloves so why this awful PJ stuff? What makes it worse is that it’s usually accompanied by something nauseatingly twee like “cosy”, “matching”, “snuggly”.

And it comes in Christmas Eve boxes. Another reason to ban it.

God yes, or even worse "jammies@. So childish

I feel the same about the use of choc.

Box of chocs
Posh chocs (a poster once described Thornton's this way)
Hot choc
Or even, even worse
Posh hot choc. Snuggled all cosy in our jammies watching a DVD

All cosy in our lovely bubble in snuggly jammies with hot choc and some lovely picky bits

@GlummyMcGlummerson

this one is about responses - Anything that is followed by NOW

A&E. NOW

101. NOW

Stop. NOW

The only one that should avoid a ban is Fuck off NOW

With my hubz and myt have a cheeky wine lolz haha

Pyjamas. It’s not that difficult

I wasn't sure I could spell pyjamas !

But is PJ not just an afffectionate recognised name like DMs . Would you say "I'm just going to wear my DMs " or would you say "Doc Martins" ?

My personal abbreviations are "Uni" "Veggie" and "Xmas"

But I am fine with Obvs

Given the press conference, ANY thread asking any questions about T4/the new Christmas rules

Do you still snog your husband threads.
I'm beginning to think we have a French kissing troll.

Help, the turkey is still frozen threads 🙄

The Christmas AIBU threads are my favourite

@Cocolapew I thought the same when I saw that topic again, wondering if some journalist is trying to get enough for the next mumsnet story on a slow news day

Its the "do you even use tongue" that's giving me the boke Fox

AIBU to go on Christmas Dinner strike at the eleventh hour because my family are ungrateful sods?

Look mate no one asked you to make 43 different kinds of potato, tie the napkins with little ribbons, have home made brandy butter and cranberry sauce and hand sculpt and ornately decorate the place mats. Also, you're not actually going to go on strike are you? you just want everyone on MN to tell you what a star you are for going OTT because you're allegedly ungrateful family are probably sick of you martyring yourself all over the kitchen
