Why have you deleted a thread for being 'banal'

103 replies

The thread about Colleen Nolan being a dim bulb.

It was a stupid chatty thread about terrible day time TV and presenters and ended up being a reminiscence about children's telly.

Is it because of the CLEARLY tongue in cheek comment in the OP which got people a-froth?

And as it reported by some tiresome dullard because of that?

OP posts:
JustineMumsnet · 15/10/2013 13:10

Oh it was just mean and goady and pointless imho: coleen is thickest person in the world, daytime tv is for poor people etc etc

It wasn't a troll but it might as well have been. I emailed the OP btw to say we were deleting and was just having a bit of fun with the reason why. (Agree it's not a very good reason)

True, I think other mnhqers would have left it - I was just passing and stuck my oar in - I thought it should go!

I only ever discuss banal things - it's what I enjoy doing. Apart from interfering in things that are nothing to do with me but people shouldn't post on the internet if they don't want me to do that

So not just deleted.

Haha yes, if I was on regular duty I reckon I'd be MUCH stricter tbh. Especially with certain posters Wink

Can I just post something a bit tongue in cheek.

Do you know Coleen socially?

fwiw, I think Coleen on the whole is lovely. Seriously.

EverythingUnderControl · 15/10/2013 13:23

deleted for being banal. The equivalent of a teachers red pen Must Try Harder D-.

LeGavrOrf · 15/10/2013 13:25

Hahaha I just called Justine a rude sod. Grin

I feel like I have just trash talked Anna Wintour Grin

Well that will bloody well shut me up then.

TEErickOrTEEreat · 15/10/2013 13:27

See? Just goes to show, watch what you say!!! Halloween Grin

No honestly I don't now Coleen! I admit there have been times when some uncharitable things have been said about folks I do know and it is a leetle awkward but I didn't delete them - Jon Ronson/ Tim Dowling spring to mind.

Though thinking about it, I'd like to reserve the right to delete nastiness about my bosom buds - got to be some perks to the job Smile.

TEErickOrTEEreat · 15/10/2013 13:28

Justine, I think by default you reserve the right to delete anything you want from your website!

LeGavrOrf · 15/10/2013 13:29

Eek at having to look Tim Dowling in the eye after the 'for example' fun and games.

If you trash talked Anna you'd be OUT!!!. But not to worry, you should hear what we say about you, LeGav, when you're not looking. Smile

(Did anyone notice no Colleen on today though?)

Thank you, it was actually last friday - thought I'd avoided it by not coming in the office but no, there was no escaping the beakers...

EverythingUnderControl · 15/10/2013 13:34

' got to be some perks to the job '

Or as used to be said on Blackadder..'Who's Queen..?' Grin

SoupDragon · 15/10/2013 14:05

Your staff got you beakers for your birthday? Shock

LeGavrOrf · 15/10/2013 14:11

They didn't get you beakers? Grin

SaskiaRembrandtVampireHunter · 15/10/2013 14:11

Were they green beakers?

JustineMumsnet · 15/10/2013 14:13

They did as well - and then they put the picture on our Facebook page

LeGavrOrf · 15/10/2013 14:22

That photo is great. I laughed at the person who posted 'label them Friday, Saturday, birthday, Christmas. Grin

K8Middleton · 15/10/2013 14:27

Friday would be a bottom beaker.
