Hello all

As you may know, we do like a bit of healthy competition here at MNHQ, and Shrove Tuesday seemed as good an opportunity as any to sort the wheat from the chaff. Come and watch our Mumsnet Big Toss video and tell us who you think wins the toss - based on ambition, style, grace or determination. Alternatively, tweet us @MumsnetTowers using #MMBigToss - and do share far and wide if you like it!

@HannahHorvath

Sue because I was transfixed by her b@@bies...

... but if we're going on tossing alone. Then clearly Justine is the winner.

Aren't we supposed to consider difficulty level? Justine's was by far the most challenging attempt. Beautifully executed with flair and finesse. It's a 10 from me Bob.

does Justine have a background in Javelin - if so that is kind of cheating

At last! A connoisseur.

@JuniperTisane

Justine's toss is very extravagant and wildly flung. I'm dubious that the pancake she caught is actually the same one she sent up Hmm

Sue's toss was neat.

Amy's was quietly confident

Sarah comes across as a professional tosser though so she gets my vote.

Shock What are you implying Juniper?

@MalcolmTuckersMistress

Justine of course because she's bribed me. That is a lovely technique!!

Thank you Malcolm - I'll get right on the other thing [taps nose].

"And if Tech is in there, will he bring down the whole site if it doesn't go whichever way he wants it to go?"

Well, (main)Tech lives in, and works from, New York - so I doubt he's been involved in the tossing Grin

Someone with the banhammer? Just sayin'! Grin

Would I get fired for real for banning Justine?

Would it be worth it to raise the tossing trophy in triumph?

@RowanMumsnet

Can I just point out that AmyMumsnet is in fact the only entrant with direct access to a ban hammer.

I've just banned you!

Er can I make a request that some UN election monitors are called in? It seems to me that some intimidatory tactics are being used on this thread...

@OwlCapone

And if Tech is in there, will he bring down the whole site if it doesn't go whichever way he wants it to go?

Which is definitely my way. Good point Owl.

TheFutureSupremeRulersMum · 04/03/2014 16:19

I watched the video twice just to make sure. Originally I was going to go for Amy because her confidence in her pancake tossing ability shone through. However, after the second viewing I'm going to have to vote for Sue because that was a very neat, accomplished toss.

@ghostinthecanvas

Got to be Justine. Interesting twirl. (was that a Scottish accent? Not biased Wink )

It certainly could be ghost (or indeed welsh, irish, scouse, geordie if that's a vote winner...)

OwlCapone · 04/03/2014 16:18

See, that poses a huge dilemma - does The Boss want to be the biggest tosser? Who is in charge of the Big Red Banning Button? Do they want to be the biggest tosser??

MNHQ
JustineMumsnet · 04/03/2014 16:17

Quite.

OwlCapone · 04/03/2014 16:07

So, you want us to vote for who we think is the biggest tosser at MNHQ...?
