Oldsilver - sad news

218 replies

Shocking and tragic news about the lovely Oldsilver whom many of us knew and loved. She collapsed on Monday. An ambulance was called but they were unable to revive her. Devastating for her husband and son, who are not surprisingly shocked and traumatised.

So much love going out to them.

I know she was on MN a lot, in Chat, AIBU, menopause threads among many others, and - way back - as one of the original Nobdies, which is how I knew her. She was funny, loving, generous and had an encyclopaedic knowledge of seventies and eighties music that was unparalleled. I can't believe she's gone.

Please post any memories of her below. Her husband wanted MNers to know and we'll be sending him the link to this thread.

Go boldly, Olds. You will be fiercely missed.

Hi all, I think it's been about eight years since I last posted on MN! Had forgotten about how bonkers those threads were!

Lovely to see you all. My Arthur is perfect and his cucumbers are amazing

Totally get the deal top thing. There is no way I could keep up with nobbing in a tablet

Munxx · 18/04/2019 22:53

Eight years sounds right, that's when WeeMunx was just months old.

Hopefully there will be a "what is a Nobdie thread" or folk complaining about quiche then I'll know we're back in town Grin

MrsMozartMkII · 18/04/2019 22:57

I didn't know her, but she's going to be badly missed by those that did and loved her.

Rest in peace lass xx
