If you (still) feel the need to discuss Moldies, please do it here so folks can hide this if they want to.

Well hopefully the title says it all. There's been a suggestion, and we agree, that as we did with Baby P and the Mc Canns we just have one thread where anyone who feels they still have anything to add on this subject can post and those who'd rather move on can hide it away.

It feels strange to put this thread in site stuff as we are definitely not wanting to encourage further discussion of Moldies (we have presents to wrap too you know ) but we weren't sure where else to put it.

We will delete any new Moldies threads that are started, so please feel free to report them in case we miss any (what with wrapping the presents and all...)

And if you do want to carry on the discussion please remember that Mumsnet's here to make everyone's lives easier and not the reverse, and that Christmas is a time of goodwill to all mumsnetters past, present and future

Thanks,
MNHQ

VinegarTitsTheSeasonToBeJolly · 23/12/2008 13:46

I thought it was just any new Moldie threads that get created from now, that get deleted

morningpaper · 23/12/2008 13:48

it will just be new threads surely

otherwise rumour mill will start all over again ad infinitum

WalkinginWaynettaWonderland · 23/12/2008 13:49

Nope - looks like they're all gone.

This is like a scab....I want to ignore it but I can't.

WalkinginWaynettaWonderland · 23/12/2008 13:49

I lie, the 1000+is still there

pooka · 23/12/2008 13:50

WHy have the old ones gone, given that they had by now reached capacity. They could have just sat there in chat for the next 90 days and would not have stlill been in active convos?

morningpaper · 23/12/2008 13:50

I think they are all there

perhaps they should be moved to classics?

pooka · 23/12/2008 13:50

Oh -should have checked

Tortington · 23/12/2008 13:51

pmsl MP

goldFAQinsenceandmyrrh · 23/12/2008 13:51

oooo WWW you got me all worried there - but you're right the 1000+ one (or at least one of them - didn't check the other) is still there

WalkinginWaynettaWonderland · 23/12/2008 13:51

You know MP, some day, maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, Moldiegate (or prawngate?) will be remembered like Red Rug....

VinegarTitsTheSeasonToBeJolly · 23/12/2008 13:51

This one still here

MP

morningpaper · 23/12/2008 13:52

you are right www

WalkinginWaynettaWonderland · 23/12/2008 13:52

Always am MP

morningpaper · 23/12/2008 13:53

now tell me, is it REALLY bad to have millions of plug extensions plugged into millions of other plug extensions? because I can't make my house look like brighton prom without serious towers of sockets

mediocrebronze · 23/12/2008 13:54

Agree with the Waffling Lady. Have to say its been one of the first times I've felt included

TinyTimLivesinVictorianSqualor · 23/12/2008 13:54

Yes mp.
Are they safety extensions?

compo · 23/12/2008 13:54

does anyone know where WigWamBam is? haven't seen her in ages...

goldFAQinsenceandmyrrh · 23/12/2008 13:54

MP - I've done that on numerous occasions, not for the Christmas lights, but permanently have that set-up around my computer desk to get CD player, printer, monitor, computer etc permanently plugged in, and have space to put hairdryer and hoover in when needed

House hasn't blown up yet

morningpaper · 23/12/2008 13:55

"safety entensions" not really

I've not literally wired them into a lamp or anything though

I can't SMELL burning

LittleDonkeyCarrieMaryMumsnet · 23/12/2008 13:56
