I agree there should be a separate topic (that can be hidden).

FGS up until yesterday I managed to get by without even knowing what Kate Whatsherface looked like. Now I'm in danger of finding out every dull detail about her and William.

I have no interest in the Royals whatsoever and am a bit pissed off to see so many threads in active convos about them.

expatinscotland · 17/11/2010 09:08

Please give us a separate topic!

NorbertDentressangle · 17/11/2010 09:11

but with the ability to hide the whole topic not individual threads

(in fact, saying that, can you do that with whole topics already or is it just individual threads?? I've presumed its just threads)

2shoes · 17/11/2010 09:43

well we never got a benefits topic

NightFury · 17/11/2010 09:49

Please? I am already utterly sick of hearing about this and have taken to reading the news on spiegel.de just avoid this vomit-inducing love-in.
Thank you.

TrillianAstra · 17/11/2010 09:49

There is a quiche topic sort of. Some quiches have already moved to Off the Beaten Track so that they don't show up on Active Convos.

I agree - all Kate+Wills stuff should go in a royal Wedding topic or just be shifted to Weddings.

Sops · 17/11/2010 09:58

Can't stand to hear a thing about it- I need a news blackout on this subject.
The way it is reported by 'serious' journalists is vomit-inducing, vacuous shite.
This country should be quite frankly ashamed to have a royal family that has such wealth when there are millions of children in the UK living in poverty.
Lets storm Buckingham palace!

TrillianAstra · 17/11/2010 10:01

I have no problem with it, might even read an article or two, but not 50 bloody threads!

lljkk · 17/11/2010 12:32

Me too, Sops. Thought for the Day on R4 this morning, John Pinar before PMQ on R5, world service (where I keep fleeing to in vain), it's like a mass conspiracy to constantly mention it on the airwaves, blech.

I am crossing my fingers that it will die down in 3 days and then coverage will not build up again for another 4 months. BBC are going to get heaps of complaints about how much air time has been given over to aspects of this event already.

Kaloki · 17/11/2010 14:04

I totally agree, I'm so incredibly bored of clicking on threads thinking "oh that looks interesting" only to find it is yet another thread about the wedding.

bran · 17/11/2010 19:53

Please, please, please make a new topic that I can hide. I'm bored with it already and can only hope they go for an early spring wedding to get the whole circus over with as soon as possible.

DuelingFanjo · 17/11/2010 20:00

I have hidden so many threads today. It's not that I mind people wanting to talk about it but more that there are so many threads repeating the same thing, like all the ones about it being her MIL's ring etc.

nameymcnamechange · 17/11/2010 20:01

My hide button has never seen so much action. But I am being nice and not posting scathing remarks all over the hundreds of threads.

QueenGigantaurofMnet · 17/11/2010 20:09

i wish the couple well, i really do. but i have no desire to spend the next 6 months having the active convos page full to burstiong with tedious threads about what she will wear, how much money is to be stolen from the tax payer and wasted spent on the wedding, what di would have thought, is she really middle class etc etc and boreing frikkin etc.

so yes a vote for a seperate hidable topic from me

notnowbernard · 17/11/2010 20:21

PLEASE give them their own topic, PLEASE

nameymcnamechange · 17/11/2010 21:22

JustineMumsnet · 18/11/2010 09:35

Ok ok ok already...
Guess we could have a Royals topic couldn't we so it retains some relevance after the big event...
We'll get on it.

2shoes · 18/11/2010 10:44

does this mean we can also have a benefits topic?
seeing as your giving them away
