Touch not the unread threads that are red

[Ted Max]

Long running threads that you cannot be arsed to click on, or that you did click on once and, boy, are you never going back.

Here's my selection, just culled from the current Lounge front page:

The Song Game. Music Room. Gaming Room. Dark Room. Quiet Room. Scrabble Club. Badminton Anyone??? Word Association.

[giggirl]

Football Focus - Yawn

[Tony.London Suburbs]

Dis One.

[Ted Max]

Two posts, Tony. Hardly long running. But fair enough.

[*Bob*]

All of the above, plus:

'Things that have made me laugh', unless the last poster is specifically someone who makes me laugh.

'Goose Green - Fence to be removed' (say no more.. please)

Any recommendations for home hairdressing (I tend to read the 'not recommended' ones though)

And I only read the 'EDF drinks' thread after the event, so I can keep an eye on who's gone that little bit more bald since the last drink-up.

Song Game, Word Association, Badminton Anyone.

The Quiet Room has died something of a death has it not?

In main area, Magnolia, Heber school, Housing market threads ad nauseum (unless latin has been banned on the forum).

[Ted Max]

Come on, the Goose Green fence thread is fantastic stuff. It's Mark's version of the labour of Sisyphus.

[Asset]

The Quiet Room was laugh out loud hilarious for a short while.

Word Assoc. Song Game. Football Focus. Music Room. DarkRoom.

[*Bob*]

I almost forgot..

"Let's create a limerick" was the all-time low.

The late Alan Dale had the best word on that, but his post has probably gone awol since he decided to go all Keyser Soze on us.

[Brendan]

The limerick thread has produced a few gems. Very few admittedly but they were funny nonetheless.

Everyone seems to avoid the cricket thread except Ted, Peckhamgatecrasher and occasionally Keef, Mockney and Mamora Man.

[Ted Max]

I was going to mention L?mer?ck thread. But took pity, and it's not on the front page anymore.

"Any women with a brain, no life, and own trousers" has potential too.

[bon3yard]

I wasnt a big fan of The Holocaust Deniers thread.

[Mark]

Song Game thread for me

(I had to look up "labour of Sisyphus" and you're right Ted Max)

[mockney piers]

There was a holocaust deniers thread?!?

[DaveR]

Pretty much everything in the 'Family Room'. I do have a family but evidently I'm not that interested. The name is also a bit off putting - I visualise a room full of broken toys and smelling of dirty nappies with a machine selling weak coffee in inadequate plastic cups.

I agree, Dave.. I get enough of this at home.

[bon3yard]

Thats right MP, there was also a thread advocating the use of Asbestos as an alternative to toilet roll! ;-) Sorry.

[mockney piers]

*places dunce cap on head...stands in corner*

Doh!!

[Moos]

Song Game, Word Association are the top 2 offenders for me, mostly because they never leave the front page.

Football Focus, Badminton, Squash, DarkRoom - just not my kind of thing.

Quiet Room - RIP (sigh)

The whole of Residential Property, obviously.

99.94% of Wanted, Offered and Recommendations

80.34% of The Family Room because it's basically just W,O&R - but there are a few good threads in there, and it's new so hopefully will get more interesting than just selling things and babies

Most of What's On because I never get to go out, bah humbug

Anything about housing value, yawny yawn.

Any threads about being a parent in ED and the furore and hurt feelings that always result

Any of the 'curtain twitching' threads ("Ooh, saw a blue light in SquintHarder Street last night, what happened?")

[bon3yard]

I'm ashamed for you MP....and a little disappointed.

[Ted Max]

Any of the 'curtain twitching' threads ("Ooh, saw a blue light in SquintHarder Street last night, what happened?")

I bet you click on them at least once though, just for a peek, like.

[mockney piers]

Parents..teachers and now you Bon3yard :-(

Yes, but then I feel so dirty and ashamed and always promise myself I'll never do it again.

[Ant]

Too many to mention, but there's always the odd gem that comes to the surface now and again so I keep on coming back.
