New topics for old

[JustineMumsnet]

Hi folks,

We'd like to add some more topics that have been requested but to do that we need to retire a few less well used ones or the talk home page will be unfeasibly long... so here are our suggestions:

Hello to:
Am I being unreasonable?
Geek stuff
The sandwich generation (elderly parents etc)

Goodbye to:
Member profiles
Christmas (until about August at least)
Creative writing - sorry budding authors - would you mind using other subjects/ culture vultures from now on?
Sports (other subjects for you too please sports fans if you don't mind?)

Please do let us know if you've any violent objections.
Best,
MNHQ

SEA, doesn't that come under the Culture Vultures bit ?

can we have a dog sledding topic as I am going soon

Oy! I like the skiing topic!

lol CD

if sports is going I reckon skiing can

also House Swaps? Can this go on Swap Shop?

not that 'Swap' is technically the way to spell it, of course...

and I think classified is very clunky and ditch for sale as a free thing unless people are giving things away..change it to recycle shop

for sale seems to cause problems more than it helps

I think we need a 'Good Budgeting' thread judging from how many people I've seen discussing debt etc .

swap/swop are both correct

gameboy I think you might be right

but not about skiing

recommended tradespersons is a waste of space..doesn't work on here no one ever finds anyone

what about moneymakers or pin money

suppose so NDP but would 'culture vultures' be the right place to discuss take that

I agree get rid of recommend a tradesperson the only time i've ever seen it used on here is when someone who has never posted before raves about their new builder and it's obvious it's her husband!

I know what you mean SEA

not sure i can recommend a tradesperson

this morning one took down his trousers rearranged his bits and then pulled his jeans back up rearranged himself again and then made a huge performance of doing his belt up just right..

I was so mortified i had to go upstairs and hide for half an hour

'took down his trousers' ? Actually took his tackle out in front of you ?!

well he was outside and I am inside i think the light must reflect on the window so he doesn't realise i can see them..

Every tradesperson that comes to my house has a massive smelly poo in my downstairs loo. I just don't understand why. Even the man who had just emptied the septic tank.

ys the tradesperson topic a bit useless

as is travel - thats too bitty - doesnt need to be split up so much

LOL at geek topic - my dh visits geek forums (hes in IT) they dotn discuss IT tho - just argue over the size of Cat Deeleys tits etc

CD are you really going dog sledding? With your own dog?

Travel could be

with children and without children..that's pruned to two topics

Gameboy - Debt free 2007 is for budgetting

Are there seriously several different travel sections??? I never go anywhere so haven't a clue!

am a bit at the idea that the environment could be subsumed into Good Housekeeping. Some of us don't DO housekeeping, good or otherwise. especially as it's greener to do less housekeeping - all those polluting chemicals avoided in the dirty but organic household.

but Environment could be under Other subjects.

you can be green AND have a clean hoose you know

Nooo, don't say things like that!!! Tis my only excuse!

no objections to those either but like suzy i dont understand teh sandwich generation =. if its to discuss/complain about elderies can it not go in am i being unreasonable.

snort at zippi

he did it OUTSIDE????

yes

I must apologise for diverting this thread..how norty when it is justine's
