AIBU in thinking that the IPOAT hall has transported to another dimension

[Minimammoth]

Where has it gone? Just as I was about to start sprucing it up for the jubilee and start tatting the bunting?

Chat maybe?

I have looked there Worra. Perhaps it has spontaneously combusted as chat threads do. I could mention Hugh Jackman or the lovely Johnny, that usually makes it spring to life.

Setting the table, making cucumber sandwiches and supervising the undergardener. Busy busy. Off to the distillery she'd now to press flowers. Hums to self.

Have you hidden it?

I click the hide button without thinking then spend ages wondering what happened to get it deleted

Stupid, I know - but I've always wondered what IPOAT stood for...

Ah well, I am not the keeper of the knowledge but understand it to be Insane Posters On A Thread. I think we also had ' infused possets only after ten'.
A group of well travelled ladies who enjoy a crinoline.
Tats wistfully.

Can you unhide a thread?

Under the Mumsnet Talk heading, click 'customise', scroll down to 'Ignore topics in Active Conversation' and the word 'here' has a link to the list of threads you've hidden.

Just click 'show' to unhide.

Salt

Insane People On A Thread. A lovely bunch of people with fantastical imaginings and a penchant for Jonny Depp and Huge Jackman. And crinoline, and tatting. I used to be one but I couldn't keep up it up

mini - they put it in Chat AFAIK

As an aside - does anyone else spend evenings hiding and unhiding threads when they just can't let go of an argument?

Wish no-one had told me how to Unhide

Gafhyb. I thought I'd looked in chat. But am a bit of a div on the technicalities.
Now, just spend an hour on this couch in the therapy room and we'll talk about your 'problem'.

mini- I think Mr Jung would stroke his beard a bit, have a puff on his pipe (they all have pipes) and say "Weeeell gafhyb, you seem to be a bit of a sad sack"

He would definitely analyse your dreams and come to the conclusion that you were projecting your lack of power in real life, and trying to get in control by using MN as a metaphore. < pulls on pipe>

Well I shall go and sing loudly in the ballroom and occasionally oil Mr Rochester's leg until someone else comes along.

Hello Mini. Thought I'd bump this for you. Sadly, I don't really have the time to devote to possets and stuff at the moment. But there's always time for a message from one of our sponsors.

Hello to you too gadfly gafhyb. Seen you around on a few other threads; took me a while to work out who you were (in previous incarnations). I don't think I've ever hidden a thread. Have gone like this at a few, though.

Thank you Princess. I am working on a new project. A T shirt with a ' No Time To Tat' slogan, d'ya think it'll catch on?

One could go slightly mad in the hall, in a Grace Pool kind of way.

The trouble with tatting is that it is almost certainly too mild to offend

On the other hand, people might twirl around the Hall in a most fetching manner

Ha princess you are so good with the links. I am sure that you need more than 5 fingers on ones hand to tat well. Perhaps Msr Renoir could come and capture One of our social events although it might look more like this

I am strangely delighted to find there is a website titled bacchanalia Manchester.

This, I think, seems to sum up the essence of IPOAT. Perhaps with a bit of this thrown in.

Or perhaps we should just stick to this.

My linking seems to have gone large. I must refine methinks.

are we not allowed to fancy the arse off johnny depp then mumsnet confuses me what we can and cant do sometimes

sneaks off in disgrace

Mrsjay, come back - you must have misread! and again.

Johnny is our patron saint, don't you know?

Like this

Or this

Or ...

has the chat thread gone ping? I am on my way to luncheon with the Smeythe-Hendley-Farquarsons' but will be back later for some tatt chat (see what I did there!)

You're here!! I've missed you all so much
