Now the Jubilee is over............

Oh JessM
I like Bags idea of a 'Science Club' ...think it is a pity its status in primary education has been down-graded

Jacey sorry! not reading carefully enough. slapped wrist emoticon.

on different puter. cant do laptops

Don't read Bags' long winded articles, but can see that others might like to.

Dont read Bags' long winded articles but can see that others would like to.

science topic would be good.

Like glamma I would find it interesting, read it all but dont comment.

I would find it interesting reading bags but I am not that well read on any thing scientific I also enjoy the climate change information I don't contribute but find it interesting.

Science "club" anyone? Completely inclusive of course, like all of GN.

Oh Jessm ...you didn't read what I put to Bags [invisible] emoticon

I learned things when I asked about views on GM food too.

I love all Bags' climate change information.

I have v limited science knowledge so I would benefit (hopefully) from a Science & Technology topic.

I mainly think it would be helpful if people were clear about what the thread was about. Must be very confusing sometimes for newcomers to work out what on earth is going on. There are lots of mysterious looking threads on the go these days.
Do you need a whole GN official Topic for the royals - I don't care one way or the other. A Kate thread. A Harry thread. Would it keep jing happy?
I don't think the Olympics needs a separate Topic as there is already a Sports one and if someone wants to start a particular thread about the Olympic Rowing or the Olympic Athletics - then why not. Rowing fans do not necessarily want to discuss Dai Green's form. [welsh flag emoticon] and as an athletics fan I don't want to get bogged down in discussing the weight lifting.
The jubilee did appear to me to be a single event but had multiple threads for some reason, but whether or not the royal family need several threads in future who knows. One for the duke's bladder. Another for Harry's love life.
Is there anyone else interested in science except me and thee Bags ?

Well we certainly want 'interesting' stuff!

Re the Royal Family one, I guess we need to decide whether we want interesting and fun stuff included, or just a 'Dear Marje' for older folk.

There was a rude version of that, but I refrained.

Happy with that, jacey.

Oops! Just realised you mean new topics! Although I never take much notice of what a thread's under, I'm afraid....

The trouble with having separate threads for something like science or the Olympics is that everything would have to be lumped together, and people would probably still start a different thread for their particular interest (as happens already!)

yes Bags ...I agree about that one too ..but perhaps to call it 'Science and technology'

Cant see what harm it will do and if people are not interested they dont need to read the threads, and I would imagine it will bring about a lot of interesting debates

What about a science one?

I wasn't completely joking.

I have thought this before. I think it could be fun interesting.

I think we get quite enough in the newspapers anyway.

Oh, I thought jingl was joking or at least stirring the anti-monarchist pot. What on earth is there to say about the vacuous lot that is our royal family? Oh there you are - I've just said it!
