Why have you deleted a thread for being 'banal'

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?

There was a TV drama on recently where they told people they'd won something but actually they were rounding up criminals and bundling them into a van.

You could let all the "troublemakers" get a golden ticket in their gin bottle and be rid of them for good.

@PervCat

ANYONE who thought that was serious really needs to get out a bit more.

Oh bugger off! I've just read the Gok thread and am NOT IN THE MOOD, I tell ya.

Brilliant!

She's probably one of the MNHQ admins/owners!

TEErickOrTEEreat · 15/10/2013 18:13

I've read the Gok thread. It wasn't pretty.

KneesoftheBee · 15/10/2013 18:21

Oh, please please please do a competition with golden tickets to visit MNHQ.

I won't even mind if you don't have a chocolate river.

Ok we will! (not the chocolate river)

Btw if anyone has a burning question about starting a business (an easy burning question that is) or just has a question that they think someone who is thinking of starting a business should ask, please do so here as I've been roped into asked to do this webchat and it's looking rather thin...

ShowOfBloodyStumps · 15/10/2013 19:39

Oh a golden ticket to MNHQ. How marvellous. You'll need to rename your delete button 'the everlasting gobstopper' of course. And all winners would need to bring an appropriate adult. Which rules me out as I don't know any.

expatinscotland · 15/10/2013 19:40

Maryz for PM!

KneesoftheBee · 15/10/2013 19:42

Yay !! Thanks

there's no earthly way of knowing
which direction we are going......

PervCat · 15/10/2013 19:45

Justine. Remember how nice I made your hair look on question time now. ;)

IamtheZombie · 16/10/2013 00:19

Well, if there are "golden tickets" being handed out, Zombie would like to request one.

She is after all MN's defense against the Apocalypse and has sworn a solemn oath to always protect the good ship MN and all who sail on her.

LeGavrOrf · 16/10/2013 07:46

Yay that's great that you are doing mumsnet golden tickets.

Do I get one automatically as it was my idea in the first place?

Reality · 16/10/2013 07:49

Oooh! Ooh! I'm being all travelling sales woman in That London at the moment, how's about I come in and flog you a binding machine nose about the offices while I'm there?

I don't need a golden ticket that way. And I'll bring cake.

K8Middleton · 16/10/2013 08:38

I worry it will be disappointing. A bit like when you were 8 and went on a tour of McDonalds. Seemed like a great idea but in reality you'd already seen most of it just by using it.

Although I do say that as someone who has seen Carrie at work. She had an intern whose job it was to carry her handbag and answer her phone. I'm not sure anything can top that. Except maybe seeing The Big Red Button in action, having a brew in Tech's shed and sitting in Justine's chair...

I'm going to spend the day making my own golden ticket. They'll never notice especially if I hide it in a box with some gin and cake

TooTabooToBOOOOO · 16/10/2013 09:14

Where's the AIBU GBBO thread gone?

Can't find it on TIO and no deletion message.

Catmint · 16/10/2013 09:27

I would LOVE a golden ticket, and promise not to have any shocking character failings.

PervCat · 16/10/2013 09:42

I don't want it. Would be like the end of the wizard of oz.

I think they should have guest editor for the day. Better than a webcast. Editor can make own threads and chat on them while touting their ghostwritten autobiography.
Yes.

PervCat · 16/10/2013 09:43

Mind you this comes from a fully grown woman who has just pretended to be a atranger's neighbours cat. ;)

LeGavrOrf · 16/10/2013 09:50

Lol at wizard of oz. That film scares the bejesus out of me. Those monkeys! And yet I think The Shining is a funny film so what do I know.

Guest editor would be great, sometimes the hour long webchats are not long enough. It would be great to get someone in MNHQ all day, make them stay there 8 solid hours posting on mumsnet. They can have a stickied thread about what they're promoting, and then just join in with that disgusting mustard yellow guest webchat colour all over the boards, creating posts and just joining in with the other shit.

I am sure there have been guest webchatters who have stayed for longer than an hour.

It would have to be someone chosen wisely and they would have to be non-tiresome not Holly willoughby

Appears I have gremlins, is back but not on my TIO. Random.

Absy · 16/10/2013 13:18

PervCat, are you angling for an invite to be made guest editor? If so, I would like to announce my objections NOW because it should be me

I want to get a golden ticket, but only when you have someone hot like Johnny Depp or Gael Garcia Bernal for a webchat. Or if you get Henry Winkler again. I have a massive crush on him.
