Can we have a 'Tragic and Sad' board?

So that people who want to post tragic and sad stories from the news can post them there, and people who want to include 'In the News' in their preferences because they want to discuss the economy and world peace can still have 'In the news', people who want to avoid tragic tales of toddlers can have an opt-out button, and people who want to find out about tragic toddlers can go straight to that board?

And the fly/cleaning threads "surf boards"

Cammelia · 18/09/2007 14:52

The craft thread would be on "cardboard"

bananaknickers · 18/09/2007 14:55

tortoiseSHELL · 18/09/2007 14:55

Oh I like the Nancy Drew board.

What about the bored board. For people who should be cleaning the house or doing something instead of inanely clicking.

CountessDracula · 18/09/2007 14:55

And put all Christmas threads into one section with an Ignore option.

"Still searching (xx years on) for a hooded waterproof coat suitable for the school run"

Habbibu · 18/09/2007 14:58

Sobernow, have you forgotten your Beatrix Potter? Kittens and pastry is potentially very tragic.

Fimbo · 18/09/2007 14:59

"Hun" board

oliveoil · 18/09/2007 14:59

madamez · 18/09/2007 15:00

CountessDracula · 18/09/2007 15:01

Wolfgirl · 18/09/2007 15:11

CD - Im on Buy/sell boards - got loads of stuff to sell and like to look for whats up for sale - but I dont see 'hun' much these days. I think frequenters of that forum have had the living day lights knocked out of em, and they are too fearful to use the word - no what I mean hun. LOL

I dont like it either

MrsCellophane · 18/09/2007 15:12

Add 3 words game = Story Board

Wolfgirl · 18/09/2007 15:16

In fact, we should start a PLEA thread, asking folk to refrain from using the word hun

there, thats twice Ive used in one day. Get ye away from me ye evil word. bah.

Cappuccino · 18/09/2007 15:24

a 'my dh is looking at porn on his PC' board

a 'no messages with the phrase "I got a text"' button

UnquietDad · 18/09/2007 15:34

I've already suggested elsewhere that The Men's Room should lose its urinal/fetish connotations and become Da Father 'Hood.

anorak · 18/09/2007 15:35

And for people who barge in and take over the whole thread...the monopoly board.

oliveoil · 18/09/2007 15:46

Peachy · 18/09/2007 15:47
