Good grief! Have just caught up with the 15 legendary threads and am delighted and rather discombobulated that the penguin saga made it into the list! It was an absolute blast to be involved with it - SIX years ago though.

Wow. Epic couple of threads, found due to MN's birthday list. These classics just keep on giving, still funny years later!

Oops, just spent far too long laughing at this (and previous) thread while I'm supposed to be working,

I googled Cotswold penguin sanctuary as a laugh to see what came up, and I wonder if OP knows this did actually make it into the news.

What JingleTits said.

Have the film rights been sold? Movies about social networking are all the rage these days...
