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?

The Penguin: Part II

ThatVikRinA22 · 15/01/2010 23:11

not read all this as ive just spent an age reading the penguin thread fully - so please someone tell me if tiger ever did her update.....please please please!

Yes, DH cried laughing at the Elf pooh, even 4yo DD came in and asked what was up.

Also, I don't think anyone mentioned the AIBU to think people who buy this tat are insane? thread which linked to those fake baby dolls, fairy babies and "shy kids" and the Elvis walking on water ornament.

I loved the thread where MN'ers were impersonating MNHQ and it all went downhill from there.

Pretending to be Justine and the rest of MNHQ

bibbitybobbityhat · 15/01/2010 22:32

Miggsie - it was Smallships. It has had a couple of mentions on this thread . It was one of the very few threads I have ever bothered to show dh!

Miggsie · 15/01/2010 22:26

Wasn't there one where someones DP was dressed as an elf in a pub and poohed himself?

TheFoosa · 15/01/2010 22:18

and another vote for the booble plate, NOTHING got done that day

TheFoosa · 15/01/2010 22:17

it was only a little thread, but I have very fond memories of someone trying to do a link on S&B and getting it so so wrong

can't find it though

ShutUpandDrinkYourGin · 15/01/2010 22:00

that tornado one is so funny - i read it when it was bumped a year or so ago. particularly vomit0-inducing in light of the events in Haiti

cariboo · 15/01/2010 21:53

don't forget Suzywong's brownies & Marsy's lemon drizzle cake![bunter face emoticon]

PerArduaAdNauseum · 15/01/2010 21:07

Cam't believe no-one's mentioned hedge-hog cam...

mrsshackleton · 15/01/2010 21:03

Ooh, yes, the Caroline Phillips is genius

FabIsGoingToBeFabIn2010 · 15/01/2010 20:12

Thanks Rascal, off to read now.

cyteen · 15/01/2010 19:28

Rascal1979 that thread is amazing, I read it after the fact a few months ago and rather embarrassingly started eye-leaking at my desk...that really does need to be among MN's finest moments. Great to hear you're all doing so well, she is absolutely beautiful

5inthebed · 15/01/2010 19:16

The one where the MNer had thrown out her DC's first teddy bear, and everyone was begging her to go get it out of the bin. It was quite funny, and one of the first threads I posted on, so memorable to me.

CarmelitaMiggs · 15/01/2010 19:12

Has anyone nominated the MN reaction to Caroline Phillips on the Kensal Rise Tornado?

I have now updated my story :-)

www.mumsnet.com/Talk/pregnancy/440848-omg-heartburn-from-hell-advice-please

Not sure if you can nominate your own story but MN saved my unborn baby's and my life!! and this is the thread to prove it

outnumberedbymyboys · 15/01/2010 17:12

Probabaly said already, but Lawyer pants in PE bag drama - could not wait for next installment.

SkipToMyLou · 15/01/2010 16:11

YES! I found the thread about How to Make the Very Most of Your Body and all of its Fluids (I was PMSLBrokeMN back then). Never did work out if it was real or not.

caramelwaffle · 15/01/2010 16:03

JetLi - Yes that thread was very, very funny.

BIWI - BigTech stayed hidden in the shed

madhairingintothetens · 15/01/2010 15:24

There was one a while back about funny things your dc have done in public, can't remember the details but it was blardy hilarious and had me and dh in stitches, may be in classics?
That booble plate one is genius, never come across it before but it has wasted my afternoon quite nicely.
Haven't been on here long but been so warmed by seeing how MNers have rallied round with Misdee, Trinity, OJ etc.
Oh and the Penguin thread was class.

bibbitybobbityhat · 15/01/2010 15:11

I remember it. Op was being inadvertently funny. It certainly had the word friend in the thread title. Would have been within the past two or three months.

JetLi · 15/01/2010 15:04

This'll be no use (or sense) at all but there was a recent AIBU where the MN-er had somehow caused a problem with her DH/DP's best mate. Her original post made absolutely no sense - cue lots of folks attempting to translate, substiuting names for all parties concerned, and even she tried re-posting the tale to no avail.
Arrgh! I can't think of an easy way of finding the damn thing! But twas very funny.
