What was your favourite MN thread of all time?

269 replies

GetOrfMoiLand · 07/04/2011 11:36

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

Has the snazziest recipe thread been linked?

Have only skimmed but it's one of my favourite threads too.

marmaladetwatkins · 07/04/2011 15:30

So many, so many...

Tub o' mash was one
The woman who wanted to take B&Q to Claims Direct because her DD walked into a plastic leaflet holder and severley cut her shoulder and cried out in pain.
Slightly biased but the TripAdvisor thread made my cheeks hurt through sheer laughing.

90 days, GetOrf, 90 days. In fact, I personally think your POAS thread was funnier but that's coz I was on fire that day Grin

Bumperlicioso · 07/04/2011 14:18

How has no one mentioned lisalisa's dirty knickers in son's lunch bag?! Sadly gone into chat thread heaven, she didn't want it in classics.

EduStudent · 07/04/2011 14:14

Oh yes the high sift is still on her profile.

God knows why a picture of a woman's arm with a sieve in it is so funny but it is. And it says something lovely about Slubber and her DH that she shares such madness with him and he joins in Grin

I loved the thread where the OP dyed her dds pony pink for her birthday party....wasn't long after I first joined MN and I just sat and cried laughing for about 15 minutes Smile

PoledrathePissedOffFairy · 07/04/2011 13:49

Oh yes, Slubber's High Sift!! I think the photo's still on her profile - the lengths (heights??) some people will go to to win an argument.........

MrsChemist · 07/04/2011 13:48

That's the first time one of my posts has been deleted. It was a libellous haiku.

I was quite proud of my libellous haiku, and was a little sad when it was deleted.

I agree Slubber has a cracking turn of phrase.

One which made me laugh - I wasn't on the thread at the time - but slubber et al had a thread where they were all making cakes, and they were arguing about how high you had to sift flour from (or something, I can't remember exactly). Cue on Slubber's profile a picture of her sifting flour out of an upstairs window (she had got her DH to take the pic).

Cunting Sainsburys made me roar.

The Cha0s thread Grin

GetOrfMoiLand · 07/04/2011 13:43

Oh yes the career mothers thread where we al changed our names to Garryisawanker or something.

Chav Chic thread must have been in chat as well.

Mine is the "My DS was touched by a working class child in the park - what should I do?" one from years ago. Someone suggested she shower the DS in a good Claret.

Supersoaker one was great. And the original of the Cunting... threads - Cunting Sainsburys. Greensleeves and Rhubarb (I think) just ended up swearing at each other for what looked like most of the night.

And most of Slubber's threads . She guarantees a laugh.

BitterAndTwistedChoreDodger · 07/04/2011 13:42

This one

And this one

Still snurking at bag o' mash Grin

WorkingItOutAsIGo · 07/04/2011 13:41

I read the penguin one as a newbie and not only did I lose an entire evening of my life, but I laughed till I cried - a great introduction to the madhouse and still the best thread ever.

For impact - and fun (remember the haikus and everyone namechanging to Garry) - the threads on the 'career women make bad mothers' ad campaign where mrsbaldwin led the onslaught of furious mumsnetters and got the campaign taken down within a week. MN at its other best.

For out and out laughs 'cube of poo' and 'river of sweetcorn' had me howling, so did 'linda is a ...' and 'penguingate'

But my absolute fave is 'Peter is Pink' - I cried buckets...Smile

No I have no idea where to start with that zeroes thread Sad

Mike thanks for bumping the snazzy thread - tragic thing is all the icod posts have been deleted.

I loved rereading that.

Lol at Poledra and kittylouise

OP posts:
esselle · 07/04/2011 13:38

I laughed so much at the thread where the OP meant to call her DS a 'whiney tinker' while in the doctors waiting room and accidentally called him a 'tiny wanker' instead!

I think it was megglevache.

Saggyoldclothcatpuss · 07/04/2011 13:38

One I read in classics where someone went missing (allegedly kidnapped by MNHQ and the other posters went on a covert mission to rescue them!
Getorfmoilands pregnancy thread, which should absolutely be in classics right now!
