'Things to do with...plastic cd cases. Save lots and paint them with letters for a giant scrabble board'

This handy tip was in last weeks Pick me Up magazine. Why!? and What!?

Share some please, real or made up. I need cheering up.

Getorf - re: your last link. The blow torch guys pubes have slipped............onto the face of the guy below!

Poor back fat lady, I shouldn't sneer at her "good job as a pub manager in Barry with loads of mates", it is wrong of me. But I can't help it.

GetOrfMoiLand · 13/03/2009 16:40

PMSL.

Christ almighty what possessed back fat lady to get a tramp stamp.

Point and laugh!!!

If you need a psychologist in a woman's magazine to tell you about your husband's personality based on his tattoos, I'd say you have a big problem. Surely you married this person with some insight into his character? Was it a bride lottery?

I hope the chap above the naked ironer found a nice lady friend, he looks perfectly normal, I wonder how on earth he came to put his picture on pickmeup's website. Perhaps he googled and thought it was an internet dating site with a name like that.

I can't stop laughing

KingRolo · 13/03/2009 16:35

My back fat had a mind of its own!

'Unlucky Lady' is a crab-faced ungrateful hag and her son is a cheapskate who can't even be bothered to make an effort for her birthday.

'My mum, Rita Culley, 61, means the world to me and I just want to let her know how much I love her. After all, how could you not have a space in your heart for a woman who's happy to make a wally of herself with a pair of pig's ears?'

WTF?

Missed your post about the tattoo reader (there I was, thinking I was the first to notice), but I am very tempted by 'date my son' - interests - Badminton, dancing in clubs, horror films.

hubba hubba (as they would probably say in PMU)

Grumpyoldcaaaaaaaa · 13/03/2009 15:51

On the 'Him Indoors' pages, there is a 'tattoo reader'. WTF?

JohnnyTwoHats · 13/03/2009 15:41

I am still none the wiser as to what a power ranger wanted with a middle aged couple.

I am, however faintly amused at this line from the story 'Batteries Not Included' whereby a two year old swallows a battery and has to undergo surgical removal.

'now he's back on his favourite sausage rolls, he has his sparkle back'

ROFL.

It is from when we were young. Young and rather drunk.

The question is, why do you own such a photo?

OP posts:
SoupDragon · 13/03/2009 15:26

I could use a false name and it is a rear view so no one would recognise him... and he deserves it.

GetOrfMoiLand · 13/03/2009 15:24

SoupDragon - you you really need us to answer that?

(Think you should, just don't tell 'im!)

GetOrfMoiLand · 13/03/2009 15:22

No, it's OK have got another (better thank God) job starting in a couple of weeks. Will not be able to piss about on mumsnet there, so am making the most of it now

SoupDragon · 13/03/2009 15:22

Would it be very wrong of me to send in a photo of H with a towel clenched between his naked buttocks?

GetOrfMoiLand · 13/03/2009 15:21

good grief

Brightened my week as well. Got made redundant on Tuesday, having to stay in the office until Monday, incredibly depressing atmosphere and I am not doing any work hence my constant MNing.

Yes - I just saw that! Lol, I don't think.

Also slightly at the whole 'date my son' section. Hmmn, potential MIL problems there methinks.
