Why have you deleted a thread for being 'banal'

15 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?

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!

@TEErickOrTEEreat

So not just deleted.

Justine deleted...

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

@schwertz

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.

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.

@LeGavrOrf

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.

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

@TEErickOrTEEreat

Halloween Grin Nice picture on FB BTW with you, erm, birthday presents.

And happy birthday!

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...

JustineMumsnet · 15/10/2013 14:13

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

@LeGavrOrf

They should do a competition where the prize is one day spent in MNHQ seeing how it all works.

Oh they would never let us through the fucking DOOR. Grin

Quite like that idea actually - Like Charlie and the Chocolate Factory - we could have golden tickets!

@ButThereAgain

Oh I hope Tim Dowling wasn't upset by the whole twat-calling thing. I started that thread and I like him really (though I'm a bit bored by his banjo preoccupation these days).

No, think he was a bit taken aback at first but then his mrs and he both joined in on the thread. Jon Ronson's Mrs was a bit more upset, though very funny - she came on to complain. It was because Aitch was vair rude about his voice...

@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.

@SoupDragon

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.

Brilliant!

@KneesoftheBee

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...

@LeGavrOrf

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?

Erm... No! (Not unless you're offering bribes Grin)

@Catmint

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

I'd say that puts you well ahead of the pack, Catmint [snigger]

@PervCat

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.

Another good idea...
