I feel it's time we had some real guidelines about what is acceptable and what we musn't discuss without getting our knuckles rapped. As far as I can see- These are out- anti-Semitism, racism, right wing MSM so it's best to stick to -family breakdown, nice recipes, games and good reads.
Feel free to add your own NO-NOs or YESes!

So did my m.i.l. for my f.i.l., just the sight of it made me gag. You did well to eat some trisher thank goodness my m.i.l. never offered any to me.

I think I'd have been sick if I'd tried to eat it

GagaJo and trisher, you have my respect!

I would eat tripe too, but I just don't have the guts...! Boom, boom!

There was a thread where someone posted the whole Labour party manifesto and told people we should vote for them. I think that is out of order.

In fact there are a lot of left wing posts aggressively telling you who to vote for, and if you don't (and vote for Brexit) then the country will fall apart at the seams. Some are quite threatening. I think that is also out of order.

There's a lot about tripe on this thread. Smileless2012 it was awful, texture of rubber, taste of smelly milk and onions. My friend loved tripe, apparently there are different kinds. She liked black tripe (it wasn't black) raw with salt and vinegar. Ugggh (hope you have finished breakfast)

There are no issues discussing this or any other difficult subjects - but when we reach a point where there are so many posts that have had to be deleted that the thread makes no sense and people are ignoring requests to keep within our guidelines, we have no option but to pull it.

Natasha thank you for your message but aren't you doing what isn't permitted? Making this a thread about a thread? Should I report your post? Oh and do you like tripe?

lemongrove Mon 02-Dec-19 10:33:13

There you are trisher.....you can continue with the tripe?

trisher Mon 02-Dec-19 10:50:29

Or puppets? You could say who you think is the pink one and who the green, but that's a bit contentious and I'm staying out of it!

SueDonim Mon 02-Dec-19 11:53:23

Ooh, sock puppets! Anyone else remember Shari Lewis and Lamb Chop? I loved him. ❤️

sodapop Mon 02-Dec-19 12:00:29

I remember Lamb Chop SueDonim Shari Lewis was very funny.

Callistemon Mon 02-Dec-19 12:04:29

I have never been able to put tripe into my mouth

All this talk of Lamb Chop and tripe may make me become vegetarian

Thankfully I'd just finished a late lunch when I read your post trishertchsmile.

Don't worry about getting involved in the discussion about the sock puppets; just remember I'm the pink onetchgrin.

Callistemon Mon 02-Dec-19 13:57:00

Can't we have a blue or yellow one instead of the green?

Back to you Chewbacca

Callistemon Mon 02-Dec-19 13:59:15

You don't come cheap you two, do you!

£17 on one site tchshock
I'll stick to making them from DH's old socks (washed, of course)

trisher Mon 02-Dec-19 14:06:56

£17!!- does quick calculation, if a pair of socks costs a fiver........Anyway it's a good profit. Even more if you use old socks!
I loved Lamb Chop (the puppet)

Smileless2012 Mon 02-Dec-19 14:11:19

Ooh I like that one Callistemon, that's perfect for Chewbacca which leaves the pink one as metchgrin.

Callistemon Mon 02-Dec-19 14:13:17

I could start a kitchen industry like the Middletons.

Smileless2012 Mon 02-Dec-19 16:33:11

Yes that's a brilliant ideatchsmile

Callistemon Mon 02-Dec-19 17:23:31
