That's it really - the ins and outs of the cat's arse over this rubbish is baffling and seems to be generating yes/no stuff that gets us all in little huffies.

How about it? It just isn't going to go away for weeks is it??

click the hide button - there really are bigger things to worry about.

FAQ ROFL!!

You can't be so divorced from popular culture as to not know about Jonathon Ross and Russel Brand surely.

Spiderhammer · 30/10/2008 22:27

I think it's utterly fascinating to watch the licence fee payer react and to see the attempt to regain some say over broadcasters and the media. I've been following every twist and turn.

Spiderhammer · 30/10/2008 22:27

Anyway Pan you've just added to the growing tally of JR and RB threads.

ElfOnTheTopShelf · 30/10/2008 22:27

hide the threads!

FAQ · 30/10/2008 22:27

oh that......hadn't really noticed, have seen it on the news and was just ignoring the threads - doesn't seem to be that many of them.

Panfriedpumpkin · 30/10/2008 22:29

FGS they aren't innocent people being accused of murdering their own child

It is not quite the same league surely?

morningpaper · 30/10/2008 22:29

Am loving it every time someone says "What's this about Jonathan Ross ... ?"

jimjamshaslefttheyurt · 30/10/2008 22:30

oh I have to agree. God I hope it's gone away by tomorrow. The ins and outs of this for weeks would be unbearable...

Panfriedpumpkin · 30/10/2008 22:32

course not MP....different reasons entirely. But hey, it may happen, it may not.

bonsoir monsieur. ca va?

FAQ · 30/10/2008 22:41

oh well in that case can we also have

"MN just isn't the same/MN is still lovely/these are the people we've lost/who isn't leaving" type threads put into one thread as well then.........I've seen more of those in the last few days than I have of the JR and RB stuff.

RottenOtter · 30/10/2008 22:42

ça va?

Panfriedpumpkin · 30/10/2008 22:45

Tres bien, merci. A mardi soir j'apprend Francais, pour les vacances en Les Alps, ou j'aime ski!! Toujours c'est difficile...

S1ur · 30/10/2008 22:47

yes yes! we must have more topics. that is the answer. But they must be more SPECIFIC!

in fact while we're at it lets draw up a list...

JR vs RB (sounds like a rap mash up)

oh and while you're at it - we seem to have a lot of threads about early weaning around in recent weeks - bung them all together too, oh and the "poor BF advice" ones as well, they all seem to centre around the same crap that HV's have been spouting out.

ewwwmy2shoesarefullofblood · 30/10/2008 22:49

please do it is getting silly, why can't people stick to one thread

JustScreamMumsnet · 31/10/2008 11:21

Well surely the JR-RB hysteria isn't going to last that long is it?

Think as others have said Madeleine McCann situation was a bit different. As a rule we don't over-manage things or we'd be moving things around all day and not have time to go to Greggs for lunch.
