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

Yes, I do agree Fra. Not so much sour grapes, just that they are mostly v. funny in the moment like you say, because it is usually how it develops - like the photograph thread was partly so funny because Cod got onto the photographers site and suddenly was having a field day, and it was all so absurd and unexpected and wicked.

I just read the sexual technics thread, and the thing that made me laugh the most was Boco saying 'Is that you Roy?' and then realizing she hadn't name-changed and everyone politely ignoring it. LOLOLOL

there are an awful lot of threads where you 'had to be there', I find.

Except the Oxo Tower. I never did get taken up there, you know....

oh god, so many!

mines a rather personal one though. I was in my hospital bed having just had a much longed for (ectopic) pregnancy removed and further complications meant major surgery. i was very, very ill. very drained and the world felt very black and lonely. the nurse came over to my bed with not one, not two but three bouquets from mners. it was lovely and meant so much to me.

i also loved Shiney's plumber-porn thread!

oh i missed that darned photograph thread

don't you agree though 100? if you weren't on it and you read it later, you feel kind of slightly sour grapes

Oh hello, I been trying to do RL things. And failing. And I've done some lurking.

100!
miss yooooou!

Ah yes, the office party photographs were also fabulous, I was crying with laughter!

100x where have you been

nb: my favourite moment on this thread so far has been Franny's voice of adult doom: 'it was funny then but it won't be funny now girls' [gurn]

My favourite moment was the office party photograph thread because Cod and MollyRoger were so funny creating captions for the photographs that I fell off my chair laughing. And then the photographer came on complaining about his 'band width' and everyone said 'oo-er Steve' and I don't remember ever feeling as helplessly giggly since I was about 13.

Other favourite memories and moments are pretty much to do with Cod actually. I vote her.

that one was geeeeeenius, TMB

this one!

The thread about the MN'er who caught her husband wanking with sandpaper in the shed on new hedgehog cam had me roffling!

How about the mner typo where she claimed she used semen in her daughters hair?

birthday table, anyone?

many of the popular threads are ones I'm only just discovering through the links here. What I would say to musmnet HQ is - think about what sort of image you want to project of mumsnet. Do you want to include mumsnet's funniest moments (and if so can you edit some of the threads please) or do you want to draw attention to why lots of people visit the site but aren't necessarily prolific posters? And what image do you want to present of women to your daughters - and to your sons? Sometimes there are very few posters giving the impression that something is widespread (liek Brazilians) when actually 90% of users of the site aren't saying anything.

When I recommend people to mumsnet or send them a link to a thread it may be because it's funny but more often it's because there is advice here that they will benefit from reading. Mumsnet has people who know more about special needs (in it's widest possible sense) than many professionals. For that its worth putting up with the nest of vipers.

probably all been mentioned before - I haven't been here that long so don't know too many:

the penguin date thread - brilliant
Hobb's baby after taking half the pill
Last year's Valentine date up the OXO tower - hysterical
The amazing resilience of Humanbean, now posting as someone else
The piece in the Guardian c. 2004 which listed things one shouldn't do with a baby - I believe it was Monkeytrousers who wrote something like - it's ok to draw a moustache on your baby with indelible marker but pref not the day before the HV is due to visit - that was the reason I joined MN (oh and because there was a poster called Soupdragon too)

on a less good note - how easy it was to get sucked in by trolls like CVQ.

I think it may have been malory towers but i'm not certain and I can't find the thread. Great isn't it def a classic

supersoaker etiquette at parties

I'd forgotten that

who was it?

click been up haf the night with a POORLY DD as you can tell

since no one else has mentioned it and my earlier post seems so have gone unnoticed I thought i'd post the link to the musical 3 blind mice again for us all to enjoy. Please coick, you won't regret it. And it isn't me btw

most of it is funny but this post is just hilarious

"sorry.. .technic-ality here but how can one be "going at it like a jack hammer" if you are lying on your side and she is on her back?

i think either you have the biggest piece of equipment known to man or you have been shagging her thigh."

sexual technics
