What was your favourite MN thread of all time?

I have just searched for it and can't bloody find it.

It was about 3 years ago, was started by cod and was something like 'what snazzy recipes did your mother cook in the 70s' or something.

It was hysterical.

I also loved the thread where we were invaded by the pram huns, Crap Tips (in classics but sadly useless as the links don't work), Shopping lists, "is that you UCM" and "Linda is a hospital administrator"

Also really loved the lefties threads during the election last year.

And my own "fuck I might be pregnant" saga Grin

Too many to mention.

Arf!ing my arse off just remembering some of these.

Penquingate made me laugh out loud at work, totally inappropriately.

My piss off our wedding guests thread which made DP and I howl with laughter and we're still using it as a reference.

The Ash cloud thread with the baby being born at the end was riveting - and also because 1) I made a lovely rl friend in an otherwise awful situation and it was amazing to see the generosity and suppor on the thread. Properly mn in action that one.

Oh and anything by GabbyLoggon

You're taking the piss about 'My son just touched a working class boy', surely?

hormonesnomore · 08/04/2011 13:56

And the Oxo Tower one.

BALD, yesterday I saw some little ones wearing Easter bonnets they had made at school and couldn't help looking for one with a fox on it!

I liked the one when an American MNetter didn't believe us when we said that gelatine was made from animal products and therefore not suitable for vegetarians. They started getting all defensive about Jello and saying that we were mad for thinking it came from an animal!

minimuffy pom bear thread

You didn't have anything to do today, did you Grin

minimuffy · 08/04/2011 11:31

can anyone link to pombear thread?

QuintessentialShadows · 08/04/2011 10:04

My only claim to fame, and by now forgotten by most, is the midgets thread. It was in chat. Gone.
But alas, it was a thread, reflecting real life, and I sometimes still howl with laughter, in my lonesome, when I think about that day. Grin

Quodlibet · 08/04/2011 10:00

Oh I loved the bikini bottoms story.

There was also one where someone admitted that their preg hormones had made them cry because there was blossom on the trees and Michael Jackson was dead and he wouldn't be able to see it which still makes me laugh every time I see blossom or think of Michael Jackson.

EduStudent · 08/04/2011 09:59

What was the one with th OP drunk slightly tipsy at a friend's, she was dancing and watching herself in the French windows...

Made me weep with laughter...

exhausted2011 · 08/04/2011 09:56

Definitely the bikini bottoms one, it was what her husband said that made me howl!!

MajesticScallop · 08/04/2011 09:14

One about someone whose husband had made a model ship out of lolly sticks and left it by the bed and there was a terrible fanjo-related accident. Or something. I can't be the only person who remembers that??

Shipscat · 07/04/2011 20:11

The toddler confessions thread. I couldn't read it all in one go, as I couldn't see for the tears of laughter, DD was getting very indignant at being jolted off the boob when I laughed, and DH rushed in really concerned as he thought something awful had happened! I was literally howling with laughter!

singmeasong · 07/04/2011 20:04

Thankyou *LetThereBeRock for finding that thread. Has made me chortle al over again! I wonder what happened to the OP? Whether she namchanged and is still here....

laInfanta · 07/04/2011 19:51

it was thesecondcoming

ReindeerBollocks · 07/04/2011 19:49

I remember the woman with no bikini bottoms thread pagwatch, I made DH read it too as I was laughing so much. Wasn't that a well known MNer?

RedRosie · 07/04/2011 19:48

Zombie threads. Love zombie threads.

laInfanta · 07/04/2011 19:37

I loved the Trip Adviser one - laughed til I cried

Also the one where Bonsoir managed to wind everyone up complaining about her stepsons putting on weight, and got 1000 posts in 4 hours

LetThereBeRock · 07/04/2011 19:33

Clean? Cleaner sorry.

LetThereBeRock · 07/04/2011 19:32

The clean and cup of tea thread was a good one too.

exoticfruits · 07/04/2011 19:25

I also loved one about Easter Eggs and the 'wrong' sort of chocolate.

LetThereBeRock · 07/04/2011 19:25

That's the thread I mentioned a few posts back.The nanny pasta thread,only it was M&S fresh stuffed pasta that she objected to.

Here it is.
