Well done Clumsy, you have kept most of MN on the edge of their seats all day. Quite a result for a newbie! Congatulations!!!

PuggyMum Thu 22-Nov-12 00:39:08

I think this is the first mn episode that will be referred to for a long time that I've known about.

Pom bears was before my time!

I feel like I've been initiated by clumsys baptism of fire!

Did the coffee dog person turn up or not?

RainbowRabbit33 Thu 22-Nov-12 00:41:39

Just read the title of this thread to DH. His response? YANBU! (It's his new favourite word, thanks to MN)

Thanks to Clumsy, hope she comes back to see this!

And I am very jealous about her immediate rise to fame!! smile

Ok, having read various threads about deleted freds, I surmise the following;

Coffeesomebodyorother is holding a pirate themed party for her twin boys. Another mother is hijacking this party for her own DDs birthday. Coffee is displeased.

Clumsy started a thread asking if she was thought to be the 'other mother', as the joint party she is involved in is entirely amicably arranged.

Anywhere close? [hopeful]

Shaky Thu 22-Nov-12 00:44:38

It was showdown about a joint (or not, depending on which team you were on) children's party

Practically bought MNHQ to a standstill (again) <passes MNHQ yet another vat of gin>

WTF?

I go off to deal with RL and its all deleted?

Flatasawitchestit Thu 22-Nov-12 00:46:32

Where's the other mothers thread?

Or have I completely got the wrong end of stick?

PuggyMum Thu 22-Nov-12 00:47:21

Seems to be vodka.... Will we ever find out what happens??

Shaky Thu 22-Nov-12 00:47:21

It was ace!

I nominate Clumsy for MN royalty just after one thread!

Shaky Thu 22-Nov-12 00:48:36

Everyone is still none the wiser grin

InNeedOfBrandy Thu 22-Nov-12 00:49:30

What have I missed sad I'm going to lie awake wondering now.

IAmSoFuckingRock Thu 22-Nov-12 00:51:15

why on earth did MNHQ bother to lock the thread if they were just going to delete it anyway? were they hoping they could placate the masses and then delete when no-one was looking?

I was hoping they wouldn't delete . I want to know what happens on Monday at the school gates

InNeedOfBrandy Thu 22-Nov-12 00:52:31

I need a pm people!

Astelia Thu 22-Nov-12 00:55:03

So do Coffee and Clumsy really know each other in RL?

Wendywishes Thu 22-Nov-12 00:55:57

Aw damn,I always miss the good onesangry-why was it deleted?Did things turn nasty?

WorraLiberty Thu 22-Nov-12 00:58:51

Did coffee post on the thread at all?

Personally I think it was a load of bollocks and sock puppeting

My guess is that Coffee and Clumsy are one and the same but posting from different IP's.

IAmSoFuckingRock Thu 22-Nov-12 00:59:30

no it didn't turn nasty at all. MNHQ said they preferred if people sorted out personal issues OFF MN. cause yano, MN just isn't the sort of place to talk about RL issues hmm

Shaky Thu 22-Nov-12 01:03:47

No it wasn't nasty, just seeing two sides of one coin also the possibility that the 2 posters did know each other in RL

Coffee hasn't posted for days

Another poster said they had a good idea where coffee lived so clumsy pmd them and apparently it was the same area.

But coffee has been posting for ages, why would you sockpuppet yourself in a way that makes you look abit of a tit. I'd think it would be better to do it the other way round. Now coffee will probably have to nc.

Also it would have made for far more interesting reading if both personas were posting on the same thread.

Did coffee ever come back the threads?

PM me if can.

Probably should be in bed but damn it this is bloody annoying me!

IAmSoFuckingRock Thu 22-Nov-12 01:15:00

loads of MNers know each other in RL. there are MN meet ups!

Has coffees thread been deleted as well now?

There was this one as well that was posted monday

IAmSoFuckingRock Thu 22-Nov-12 01:34:56

that one was a wind up one posted by someone called lollipop something or other. he/she owned up to it on clumsy's thread.
