Reasons for deleting threads

They've used that one before, Jane but on that occasion it might have been a tad more appropriate!

Yes, that's not really suitable as a one-size-fits-all reason, is it...?

They're just trying to be mysterious. They do that, you know

Makes you wonder what they put in the cake sometimes.

It's like when somebody presses the wrong button and you get the wrong recorded message. All us passengers looked at each other, somewhat bemused, when we heard "This train is not in service" just as we were pulling into Euston the other day. Presumably GNHQ just picked the "other" reason - and we all know what sort of posts occasioned that message!

We could have a lovely time thinking up various messages, couldn't we!

"This thread has been deleted, because the Op was in shouty capitals and we have a headache"

"This thread has been deleted because we feel that size 2 eggs would work better than size 3"

"This thread has been deleted because we believe that the poster who started it is an impostor, and is actually Gladys Liberty Bodice-Higgins, who is a known subscriber to The Vole Stranglers Gazette"

"This thread has been deleted because ............. WE CAN "

Deleted!

Yes I agree the "bunfight" is a bit, well, off key. Old fashioned. Who talks about bunfights these days. Not us up to date grandparents.
Sounds like there was a fight going on.
I think :
"Thread deleted for breaking site rules" or "post deleted for breaching talk guidelines" would be more appropriate GNHQ, OK?

This thread has been deleted because this particular gran is a pain the but!

This thread has been deleted because I am bored and just had an urge to confuse the oldies.

Deleted because we're fed up of hearing about the house/ girlfriend. Fill in as appropiate

deleted because we don't want to even think about your youtube clip on ritual removal of pubic hair, sir

(you think i am joking don't you)

This post deleted because we know you weren't joking.

galen

JessM do elaborate! Was there really a thread about that?????

Do tell and give link

If it was deleted Jess won't be able to give a link - unless she saved it...

I never seem to see these threads that then get deleted. I miss out on all the speculations. Mutter mutter.
I expect the banter that followed is probably funnier than the thread.

It is on some, but not the one in the OP, which was apparently deleted shortly after it appeared! That's why the 'reason' for deletion is so....^inappropriate^!

Re bunfights.

About 25 years ago shortly before DD2's confirmation I heard her on the phone to one of her friends asking her if she would be able to come,She announced solemnly that "Mummy says there's to be cake-throwing afterwards in the Church Hall"

I had suggested there would be the "usual bunfight", indeed in the Church Hall We can't be the only people to use the expression for tea and cakes?

yea - can you just imagine that GN lot throwing cake around instead of eating it

And I bet they're all slim in spite of all the cake

Gracesmum, my family refer to the "party" after a funeral as "the bun fight" Not very reverent but I have used that phrase for longer than I care to remember.
