I am boycotting threads about the plight of the McCann family - anyone else?

I have the utmost sympathy for the Mccann family, and hope for a happy ending to thier trouble. Meanwhile I am not happy about many aspects of teh many threads, and hearby resolve to completely boycott them. By not clicking, not reading, nor responding (however horrible the views), and thus not adding to the circular and predicatable route they take, no matter what quality of ontervention is made.

Clasp your right hand over your left Nork and repeat the boycott pledge after me!

Shit, I have strayed - back now and clasping both norks with both hands but finding it very difficult to drink my wine.

Yep, I too have avoided these threads, some of them are down right ghoulish and some of them appear to be an excuse to bully...

Nork is good and clasped (but gently as sore).

You all seem to be defeating the object by bumping this thread don't you if you want the poor girls name not to be shown?
(no nork clasped here, i will post where i please just amazes me that this is the thread up the most strangely enough!)

tissy · 30/05/2007 12:27

bump, there's another one!

Kathyis6incheshigh · 30/05/2007 12:55

I am clasping both norks now (typing with my nose) as I need to stay off threads that have anything to do with risk.

In fact I pledge to discuss nothing but food for the rest of the day.

JolieGirl · 30/05/2007 12:59

Oops sorry I fell at the first hurdle and have just posted on a thread . It is just such an emotive subject.

Kathyis6incheshigh · 30/05/2007 16:27

bump

Tamum · 30/05/2007 19:07

This needs bumping every 10 minutes it would seem

beckybrastraps · 30/05/2007 19:08

Mea culpa.

I am in the boycott but I keep opening them to read them to be dsgusted at them - what is wrong with me!

Tamum · 30/05/2007 19:11

Say 10 Hail Blus, becky.

Grabs my boob and thinks of Blu

Twice

In a non sexual manner

Mhamai · 30/05/2007 19:14

Does not grab Welshy's norks despite previous rumours but grabs my own, great bloody jugs that they are and stands true to Blu.
