Just a thought - if you're going to be 'retiring' chat threads from now on, can we have a little section of golden oldies saved? It would be tragic to lose the grapes or tablecloth woman, and I've been looking fruitlessly (saddo I know) for the blind date in the bluebell woods thread since someone reminded me of it yesterday. Any chance? Maybe a few favourites stored somewhere?
Anyone else got special favourites?
My vote also goes to:
"Am I dirty"
"Leaking after bath"

Is the bluebell wood one gone for ever?

(thinks..hhhhmmmmmmm) imagine it would be impossible? far too time consuming to have a mumsnet classics topic so......could we maybe have an ongoing thread somewhere, (with big official name!!) bumped often where we post links to our favorite "classic" threads? for newbies and for when we need a good laugh? we could add to it whenever one of this kind of great threads arises? its such a shame when these threads dissapear and newbies have no way of knowing they are there unless someone on another thread happens to mention them. ive pmsl many a night looking at some of the favorites.

Am incoherent with laughter! DH thinks I'm mental, cannot understand why I think Zebra's logic about dressing her kids before they go to bed is so funny. Says (in scornful tones) "It's a mum thing"

Going to read more now - PMSL!!!

Toothache · 15/03/2005 22:29

Ks - I remember that one! but can't remember the title of the thread I'm afraid...

Hello, just to set your mind at rest - "retired" threads won't disappear and you'll still be able to search for them - you just won't be able to add new messages and revive them.....

jangly · 15/03/2005 17:58

This sounds silly, but I think Beetroot's recent thread about her guinea pigs was a bit of a classic. It showed a lot of caring - sort of, mumsnetters helping another person through a situation in real time.

tamum · 15/03/2005 17:56

Ooh yes, another vote for that one Twiglett I might even go and read it again.... how many times were people asked to remember the MN philosophy????

Twiglett · 15/03/2005 17:51

You have to save the 'Please don't post on THIS thread' thread .. you just have to

after all it is responsible for my favourite ever mumsnet advice

paraphrasing it was something like:
"if you have a problem with a post just email [email protected]"

jangly · 15/03/2005 17:48

Oh I remember! She found it behind the washing machine! (Skie that is) Emma's was a b it new looking. Think that's right.
