Yes - please change it to something else and DO NOT TELL ANYONE.

Then it will die.

Tee hee! What about [equus] or [lutra lutra]

[You had to go and look it up didn't you?]

i liked the pombear thread becauseitgavemesomethingtoputintheroundup but agree in principle that all but the basics should go. it's all a bit 'Fancy Dress Friday' if you ask me.

MNHQ don't agree do they

From now on I'm only using the bear as being either YABVVU or YABAC. Not that I used it before but this is my own little protest. If I can remember.

Is the bastard bear still there

Oh yes

I am confused!

Why do we now have a bear emotion? Since when was bear an emotion?
And why does MNHQ feel the need to clog MN up not just with heaps of topics (that are mostly unused) but also with multiple different emotions.

It all feels a bit like Nethuns! There will be tickers next............

IMO the bear and flowers and cup of tea are shit.

Yes agree seelyon - and the bloody biscuit, which I do not understand at all.

The Pom bear thread was cack. As funny as the penguin one.
Now the office Xmas party was hood. Made me lol just then even typing it.

Nowt happened on the pom bear thread. Someone went to dinner and were served heinz soup. Think they were just on recieiving end of unfunny cosmic practical joke.

What are you on about re xmas party in the hood?

But do we really expect anything to change because of these threads?
No

They don't listen. Hence shitty aibu, clique threads.
Ie not what I want. waves orb ;)

That Sekection of office party pics the photographer had up.

But WHY don't they listen?

I agree, axe the bear, wine, biscuit, brew. The flowers can stay but only for writing obscenities a large sancerre. Begone too seasonal smilies, they make you look about 5 years old.

Sorry you're so ill GOML, maybe losing the pointless smilies would cheer you up for a little bit ?
