I know I've been away for a bit, but where did this come from in my absence??

tbh, I do find it a bit distasteful to have it there.

not wishing to be controversial at all. But v. curious.

I think I might have a solution (and who says we're only interested in scrapping??)
Try clicking on "last 15 minutes" instead of "last hour" in find discussions and somehow we're not there at the top.
Don't know how that works, but there you go.

yes, that only indicates when the last post was made - when one IS, it puts FS to the top of the lists.

Above Active convos I have search for messages.

Anyway i'm prolonging the thread on a technicality and a fairly stupid one at that.

As I said peviously if you don't like it- don't look- that's what i do with threads I don't want to see

yes, and if/when you select last hour/15mins etc, FS appears first when there is an entry..all else goes in alphabetical order ('cept Chat, I think).

There we go - once the quotes are gone, we wil be back at the bottom of the pile where we obviously belong.

Don't worry, I'm not sad, I'm sodding furious!
If this is all these people have to worry about then bloody good luck to them.
Another British soldier, from a regiment a very good friend of ours is serving in, was killed in Afghanistan this weekend and it makes my blood boil that a couple of people on here would deny his family any support because they don't agree with the government's decision to take the country to war.
If I wasn't an officer's wife, I might even swear...

" it makes my blood boil that a couple of people on here would deny his family any support because they don't agree with the government's decision to take the country to war. "

that is indeed outrageous. Tell me who they are, where they said this, and I will be right with you.

This is my last question (or I'll try to make it my last question)
Pan and Nightynight, do you object to the forces sweethearts section because:
a) You don't think we, as forces wives, should be on here?
b) You don't think we should have a special section of our own?
c) Of the slightly flippant name?

One letter answers will suffice...

Scootergrrrrl and ll- thank goodness for the likes of your husbands last night eh in leeds, Sheffield and surrounding areas affected by the floods. Don't know where people would have been without the RAF last night (sorry if I have the wrong force for your dh's but I am saying- for the likes of- as I'm sure the army would be called in if it was their area of expertise.)

Really didn't want to restart this but seeing as how you have I thought I'd get my tuppence in Hope that's ok. God bless xxx

Back again, Pan?

You say 'bye' but you don't mean it,
you call people 'paid child killers' but apparently you don't mean it -
do you actually stand by anything you post
or is it all a bit of trolly fun?

Or maybe it's dawned on you that your
'lesbian/gay/transgenered friends' would
be stoned to death in a world ruled by
the kind of people NN would like us to feel empathy for.

Finally grasped why we need an army? Good. At ease.

Pixiefish · 26/06/2007 16:43

and the Army when there are ops that are their speciality and the Navy when their expertise is called for.

Can't see anyone turning the RAF away last night on a point of principle or becasue they don't like the armed forces can you.

Well done to all your dh's/dp's/dw's for the flippin difficult jobs they all do xxxx

scootergrrl. As I said at the beginnig, which seems a very long time ago, I find a "military" presence on MN distasteful, every time I open it up. I object to it, but given that I don't own the site, accept it isn't bespoke to my preferences. And I DO see a hugh difficulty in reconciling(sp
) the "values" of MN with membership/association of an organisation that travels the world killing people (who are families). Yes, when not taken up with duties they do other peripheries. But that doesn't excuse anything. I don't click on FS, no interest in doing so. So do please get on with supporting each other.

DJ - I returned to provide some non-controversial information. You are such a childish arsehole. >
