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?

For more on Strawberry, put "Skie" in as author's name in archives Search. Emmatmg provided the replacement. There are follow up threads.

Oooh more more! I have to go and cook the dinner now (damn demanding family requiring sustenance...grrrr) but I will be back later to peruse at my leisure.

Lakeland have discontinued my lovely towels now...

SleepyJess · 15/03/2005 17:24

I'm confused with the Strawberry threads.. is there a happy ending? it took me a while to realise I was reading backwards as the threads are flipped.. d'oh! Did Skie's DD get a suitable Stawberry back???? WHAT HAPPENED??! It ends abruptly on 5th Feb 2004!!

flamesparrow · 15/03/2005 17:21

This is great... enjoying all these oodles, but neeeed to get stuff done so I have saved my remaining ones to faves...

Sometimes posters needed all their postings withdrawn at various times for various, good reasons. Even way back then Tech could only really manage this with a scorched earth approach, hence some perfectly harmless, often amusing posts having to go too.
Mind you, there could well also have been profanity and dissent there in places

SleepyJess · 15/03/2005 17:00

Hahahahahahaha!!! Clothes-to-bed thread.. .. see what you mean! What on earth did Twinkie say??! I am obsessed with removed postings on amusing threads! Can anyone remember?

(onto the next thread,... towels I think.. I getting a potted history of MN here.. )

SleepyJess · 15/03/2005 16:51

PML just read the Brians one.. going on to the others. But PLEASE give me the gist of some the withdrawn messages!!! Were they full of profanity??!! (Mostly by ks.. one by Robin somebody...)

Just had a look and the "brians" thread is still there in the Parenting section. It was back in 2002.

Toothache · 15/03/2005 16:17

PMSL at the "Brians" thread!! I still chuckle about that now! That's got to be a couple of years ago though.

coppertop · 15/03/2005 16:09

What about the "I got brians" thread?

Anteater · 15/03/2005 16:09

We'll draw this to Tech's attention and see what if anything can be done to save the classic Chat!

MrsDoolittle · 15/03/2005 15:05

Oh yes, I remeber that one - I was laughing too much to post. That must be saved!

jangly · 15/03/2005 14:48

It was a wind-up. Cod and Beccarollover! I seem to recall it caused a bit of trouble at the time. Can't really remember.
