Threads dying at 1000 posts?? Why?

[magimedi]

It just seems so fucking arbitary.

Why can't threads just run to their natural conclusion instead of being beheaded at a certain number?

I can't fathom the reason for this & would be delighted if someone could explain.

Oh yes, all stores open. Just back from doing a shop. DC are cleaning the floors downstairs.
Bed sheets have been stripped without nagging though, hmmmmmmmm

[Tee2072]

I bow down to Katie's superior skills in dealing with large groups of hormones!

(On further thought, I did see a petrol station open, and a "all hours" corner shop, when I was out for a 3 hour wander to learn a few more streets in the area I've moved to, oh yes, and a funfair :) )

[NetworkGuy]

So, Katie, are your stores actually open today, given on Easter Sunday just about anything (apart from bingo and pubs) are closed in England + Wales...

[Pan]

and the careful.

[Trills]

Previewing is for wimps

[KatieScarlett2833]

Both Rusty. We are blessed to have 2 Asda stores, one Tesco megastore, M&S and about six billion co- op stores within crawling distance.
No waitrose or sainsbos though. And have yet to see an Ocado

[RustyBear]

Katie - was that deliberate cruelty or do you (a) have a very small Asda or (b) live in Scotland?

[KatieScarlett2833]

No, I didn't either. Just shoved them into the machine and set it to malky

[KatieScarlett2833]

I may or may not have sent some of them to Asda to get me foodstuffs

[magimedi]

- Hope they are now cooking lunch.

Downstairs is spotless
Every towel in the house is going to need a boil wash though

[magimedi]

40 teenagers!!!!! You are either a saint or mad. But pleased to hear they are clearing up.

The first time we went away & left DS (age17) for the weekend I came home & walked in and said: "You've had a party". DS was most puzzled as to how I knew - it was because the house was cleaner than when I'd left it!! He'd only had about a dozen round & they spent hours cleaning up - bless.

[KatieScarlett2833]

I downloaded a meditation podcast at 4 and slept for a few hours
Everyone is alive and about to start tackling the mess. DS got up and is playing football ( the restorative powers of the young)
I am hiding until they have finished cleaning

Where there's a willy there's a way
Though I can't help but think what the cold does in shrinkage to da Menz, so, on reflection I think not

[HotCrossWeaselInSinisterBonnet]

Surely it's too cold to manage successful outdoor sexing?

[MrsVamos]

Well, Katie, I shall wish you good luck and good night.

I'm off to bed.

Night !

[KatieScarlett2833]

It's better now though, at least I can drown them out with headphones. That wasn't allowed when they were infants
And I've just discovered the sims have sound effects. Quite entertaining.

[MrsVamos]

You should have got some of those rock dummy things.

I couldn't cope with that. And you're losing an hour tonight too.

Mind you, it's better than a puppy I suppose. At least you won't have to get up to let them out for a wee. (Hopefully).

[KatieScarlett2833]

Nah, I'll give them till 2 then do stern face, put the campers outdoors and silence the house dwellers.
Then I'll do it all over again, repeatedly till morning. Reminds me of when they were newborns

[MrsVamos]

Maryz.

I was going to test run some of that 'bitch on heat' spray, and some of those dog nappies first.

[MrsVamos]

Wonderwall ? Wouldn't have thought that.

Maybe encourage some Queen or even Guns n Roses riffs ?

I'm sure I used to do it, but what is that teenage thing of playing certain songs on repeat ?

Then coming downstairs and telling me that my old albums, of which most of the new are 'mash ups' are crap ?!
