Ahoy hoy mnhq - you aren't going to do anything about AIBU, are you?

[bibbitybobbitybloodyaxe]

You are sticking your fingers in your ears and going la la la and pretending not to notice that aibu is just awful?

Is that like the Verruca Gnome?

I really like AIBU.

I have just had a mini-row about Linda Barker.

You don't get that on other forums.

Actually, I really, really want to cull about 70% of topics. Most of them are nonsense. Why can we not just have a pets topic, for instance, there is no need for doghouse, cathome, fishnet, fucking hamsters.com etc.

@Hullygully

There's another one right now, Helen.

If you gave them their own topic, they could all get off happily on their poo doings together and leave the rest of us alone.

But have you reported it, Hully?

Unfortunately, we don't yet have a siren that goes off at MNHQ when you post "poo troll" although it's quite a tempting idea

Oh come on, fucking hamsters is always fun.

I don't even notice what topics things are in, I just click if the thread sounds interesting or someone I like is on it.

No I haven't miss cos they nicked my button, innit.

I have reported it now. I gave them some fags for my button.

I don't notice either tbh. But some people hide topics don't they and that means that the proper posting place doesn't get much traffic, so people think sod it and go on chat or aibu.

There are about a dozen topic headings - e.g. Becoming a parent, being a parent etc. Why can we not have just the topic headings instead of the sub-topics. There is no need really. It is not necessary to have baby seats, highchairs etc, just have an overarching Products topic for the whole lot, and if you are looking for highchair threads used the search facility.

Actually I may start a thread to bore on about this subject.

Oh go on then.

Yiu could at least lie and pretend to be interested.

I am I am not

I feel sorry for MNHQ. Everyone says, Ooo we want this topic, we want that one, and they create them all and then another load come along saying, Ooo there are far too many, can't we cut and simplify?

It's like a metaphor for summat, innit?

yes but WHERE will you start the topic GetOrf? there should be a 'Topic' topic

Yeah it's like a biblical story.

MN should put their foot down in the first place years ago. None of this expansive yes yes yes to whatever fools people ask for. They should be more soviet in outlook, limit the choice and people should be happy with what they get.

Yes.

We need:

1. Topic topic
2. Poo Topic

3 Frothing Berserker Topic

Get rid of all the dull baby stuff.

Yeah, who gives a fuck about breastfeeding after all.

Prams, car seats, nurseries, bottles...

Pregnancy, stretchmarks, childbirth choices...

@Hullygully

Birthing plans hahahahahahahaha

Names. Is Emily too popular?

Will people laugh at Finlandia Happenstance?

They didn't have birth plans in devon when I had dd.

It was 'lie down on that bed and stop that noise'

yy, a friend showed me one the other day with pieces of music and accompanying different aromatherapy oils..how I sniggered.

Me either, GetOrf. I was told I was "mooing like a cow and it was putting the other labouring women off"

That's all you need (tis bibbty here)

I was told to be quiet and stop making a fuss and 'don't be ridiculous you don't need to push'. 20 minutes later dd was born.

And they wheeled the gas away saying that I had had enough. Bastards.
