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?

Absolutely anything fo rMaude and Peter, yes. And the threadas for MB, trinity and OJ - along with the Christmas Appeals.

But also the funny ones-the blue cheese forthrush in the supermarket thread stil makes me smile,and amateur arse docror /nativity with atash yes

Is that you UCM-ah yes . And no I didnt call for her banning.

Oh god yes, Kerry's Halloween stories, I don't even think of them as threads which is why I forgot them.

Even though this years gave me the willies.

The thread may have been funny but her remarks weren't, but there are others just as guilty of being offensive, and excommunication means they can't be challenged....

The Governess thread and the Eddie Stobart Method Eddie Stobart thread had me spluttering over my keyboard.

I reckon he disappeared through the rogue space ...

poorbuthappy · 15/01/2010 13:05

I read that whole bloody space/time thread only to find out there was no answer to it! Very disappointed with big tech......I almost cried...

frumpygrumpy · 15/01/2010 12:17

Oh yes, Mile 4 Maude and Maude in general actually..... that stuck with me for ages.

Christmas appeals - wonderful!

Biscuitgate - so good.....but we did get an answer....did we ever find out whether it was Sarah?

Pirate sex -

Misdee and Peter and the heart transplant, so lovely!

Is that UCM? - my all time favourite I think. We were going to have a spin off of "Is that UCM" badges weren't we? So we could all recognise MNetters in RL Badges please

Correction: The nativity thread starts

here

fondant4000 · 15/01/2010 11:56

This: help!!!! DS has drawn sportacus moustache on face with pen and it won't come off. Nativity play this morning!

Which ended up with missingthemountains ds rocking up to school with a purple tash and smelling of alcohol.

Hilarious!

phdlife · 15/01/2010 11:18

has everyone already mentioned LisaLisa's "pants in ds's lunchbag" thread? It still makes me happy, just thinking about it. (Sorry Lisa, if you're reading this!)

BecauseImWorthIt · 15/01/2010 09:59

Sorry, STML - I missed it. I was skim reading the thread this morning and my eye was caught by it, so I didn't go back and read the rest!

SkipToMyLou · 15/01/2010 09:57

I posted it earlier, honest! The geek in me loved that thread!

BecauseImWorthIt · 15/01/2010 09:26

So chuffed I'm posting a link

BecauseImWorthIt · 15/01/2010 09:23

Oh yes! I'd forgotten the space time continuum thread! And I thought it was in chat as well, so would have disappeared.

OliviaFGSItsOliviaMumsnet · 15/01/2010 07:47

Quint It wasn't me
Please refer all complaints etc to GerryMumsnet
Thanks

DollyMessiter · 15/01/2010 01:47

All those chirpy, light-hearted and mannerly threads regarding Steiner education.

myredcardigan · 15/01/2010 00:52

Lots mentioned here!
-Arse Doctor
-Tablecloth lady
-Peeing in patent kickers/knickers
-The poster who stated she's put semen in her daughters hair to get rid of the tangles.

I can't remember the thread but the poster who said she cried when she heard that John Lennon had been shot because she thought they meant John Craven!

BlackLetterDay · 14/01/2010 23:30

I vaguely remember one where a mn was stroking someomes hair cos they thought it was a coat or summmat, I can't remember the details but I laughed so hard it wasn't funny.

Thats the great thing about mn, it has made me laugh like nothing else in my life.

BlackLetterDay · 14/01/2010 23:20

I remember a lot of these threads and they were great esp the ones in mn classics.

Have no idea if anyone mentioned the killing pets/wildlife one. OMFG that was possibly the funniest thing I have ever encountered, I was literally crying with laughter.

Plus the what was funny in labour etc threads. The olympic horses thread really did make me lol. I love Mn for all of the threads that have made me snort various liquids through my nose.

The moving bits have been too numerous to mention.

Mn fooking rocks

gerontius · 14/01/2010 23:15

I loved the sexual technics thread.
And also that one that linked to another forum where someone asked for help editing their photo and people just screwed around with it. can anyone link me to that?
However, the Bounty thread was clearly the best.

Oblomov · 14/01/2010 23:10

I don't remember any of these. I wonder where I was when all the best/funniest threads were going on?

purpleduck · 14/01/2010 23:06

KERRY - I loved your Halloween story, and it was one of my faves

Along with the thread where the OP kept fanny farting loudly AT HER OFFICE. I cried over that one. Can't remember whose that was.

snice · 14/01/2010 23:03

had forgotten the e-bay fox/lamp til now-I think it spawned a load of'guess what I've found for sale' threads but this was the original and the best

DelGirl · 14/01/2010 22:54

god that is so funny, I shall never get to sleep now. rofl

swampster · 14/01/2010 22:28

I've been looking for the savaged min-min it still makes me cry with laughter.
