Your top Mumsnet memories/moments of the last ten years - post them here

520 replies

JustineMumsnet · 13/01/2010 16:49

As some of you may know, this is our tenth year in existence and we thought it would be nice to put together a list of the top ten MN moments during those ten years - obviously not all of you are as old in the tooth as me but everyone's thoughts welcome.

So by way of a starter for ten here and distinctly off the top of my head (so don't shout if I've missed you out!) are some of our most memorable moments/mn events...

Feel free to violently disagree add your own - am sure, being so decrepit we've forgotten loads.

In no particular order...

Christening of SWMNBN and MP's apology for rockets gag
Mile 4 Maude
First live birth
Christmas appeals generally
Biscuitgate
bottom butter
tim dowling and wife - hammering it out on MN
David Cameron's massive panniers
AIBU generally
Pirate sex
Misdee and Peter and the heart transplant
Is that UCM?

cyteen · 13/01/2010 21:22

Oh Mamazon That bumsex thread is priceless, thank you so much for making me howl (with laughter, I hasten to add).

On a related note, I forgot to mention Franzo's ever-hardening clay cock. Particularly the update where she mentioned that she had hidden it behind an object with a massive hole in the middle, so that when the HV came over it looked like the cock was on proud display

lilibet · 13/01/2010 21:20

Lulu - do you know the back story to Tamba and Carl K?

PortBlacksand · 13/01/2010 21:20

oh I like the Celebrity Wife Defence threads e.g. Jon Ronson's Elaine: "Are you all in mental hospitals?" and Mrs. Dowling who basically came on to defend Tim Dowling but ended up agreeing that her husband was a bit shit and then he came on and told her to do some ironing (or something like that)

RustyBear · 13/01/2010 21:15

iirc lisalisa had her op deleted, so she probably wouldn't welcome a revival.

I'd vote for the collected works of MartianBishop -among others, the Janet & John Bible, the 'boring' thread, her Mumsnet song parodies, and of course the truly moving story of her wonderful marriage to an amazing man.
