Threads dying at 1000 posts?? Why?

107 replies

magimedi · 30/03/2013 22:49

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.

You'll find them all over the house in the morning.

Far too cold to be outside, especially when they have woken at 3/4/5 for a wee and sobered up a bit and it's COLD. [bugrin]

Tried to tell them that we are in Scotland not Spain but since I can't get my two to put a coat on, I was outvoted. Oh, and some of them are Scouts, or something outdoorsy....

Boys and girls of all persuasions, Maryz. No sexing on the premises ( hollow laugh)

MrsVamos · 30/03/2013 23:54

Maryz, my love, your posts are only pink for you.

That's why 'they' let us have special colours, so we don't stress too much about how many posts we can go to in a thread, or how fast threads load. [buwink]

MrsVamos · 30/03/2013 23:55

Katie, if I had a hat on, I'd take it off to you !

Have you handed out the condoms ?

KatieScarlett2833 · 30/03/2013 23:55

Now they are singing " Don't look back in anger" tunelessly.
Must be romance time

I've had mine speyed MrsV.

Pan · 30/03/2013 23:57

well let's face it, it was originally sung tunelessly...

KatieScarlett2833 · 30/03/2013 23:58

True, Liam Gallacher, what a shovel-faced cock he was

MrsVamos · 30/03/2013 23:59

Katie. [bugrin]

Pan.

Don't be Oasis-ist. That was my theme of the 90's. Well, one of. I was a teenager then myself in my defence.

Should have had it as my wedding song, as I walked down the aisle. But that's another story...

MrsVamos · 31/03/2013 00:00

Ahem.

Noel sang Don't Look Back in Anger. Liam sang Wonderwall.

Pan · 31/03/2013 00:01

not Oasist at all. I used to live beside the bassist, Paul. The band used to 'practice' in his room. I heard ALL of it through the wall before the rest of the world did. Seriously.

KatieScarlett2833 · 31/03/2013 00:01

Mrs V ( shakes head)
Are you Patsy Kensit?

MrsVamos · 31/03/2013 00:02

No.

I'm not that old !

KatieScarlett2833 · 31/03/2013 00:03

PMSL at "insluted"
Freudian

MrsVamos · 31/03/2013 00:03

Ah. Point taken Pan. I just used to fuss over them when they descended on the pub/hotel I worked in in my yoof.

I can see why you may be slighly miffed.

KatieScarlett2833 · 31/03/2013 00:04

Pan, can you confirm that " our kid" is in fact a shovel-faced cock?

MrsVamos · 31/03/2013 00:05

Oops ! Not intentional, Katie.

No preview.

Maybe I should.

Pan · 31/03/2013 00:05

nah it was fine. Lots and lots of The Doors songs. Liam and Noel were good boys. Fame hit them big.

yes Katie, both of them are/were. Once they blocked the road with a battered old beemer, because it was the 'cool' thing to do. Big bloke at the end of our row didn't see it that way.

MrsVamos · 31/03/2013 00:08

At least it wasn't Flat Eric or someone. That would drive you nuts, wouldn't it ?

Both of them were always very polite when I had dealing with them. Never rude, or cocky or anything.

Noel is also still a delight if you bump into him in Tescos.

MrsVamos · 31/03/2013 00:08
