I think we should have an MN village show

What should the categories be?

Clearly we will need:

  • most unusual object covered in glitter
  • sculpture entirely from Waitrose recycling
  • best artisan scotch egg (ahem)

What else? And what will you be entering?

Feel free to nominate yourself as a judge but we will need to see your credentials...

@2018SoFarSoGreat I’d forgotten about the stunt pineapple!

@Piggy666 That made me spurt my wine everywhere

JaneJeffer · 19/03/2022 22:02

Not an autocorrect @LMBoston the MN quiche is a "thing"

How about Best Baby Hairband?

Can I be the first to guess, "I bet it's cycling!"

BigUpAllOfUshereOnMN · 20/03/2022 00:45

A fashion show from the style & beauty peeps would be good

KloppsTeeth · 20/03/2022 01:02

This is amazing! Can we have a decorate a shoe box for competitive parents please?

StarlightLady · 20/03/2022 07:30

We could have a cabins, one set out like a classroom offering grammar lessons and a really strict teacher.

Another offering a bra fitting service.

A sufficient number of female loos, all spotless of course.

Oh, and a Fashion Police station including cells.

@disconnected1

Can we please have a stall offering free tarot reading, where the person doing the readings has to guess who it's for Grin
'Free'...but then private message later asking for payment (if I remember correctly)
NinaDefoe · 20/03/2022 07:40

I’m assuming event parking will agreed in advance & strictly monitored?
We don’t want thousands of CF MN parking willy-nilly on other people’s drives, roads or LAND.

GlamorousHeifer · 20/03/2022 07:54

Can we have some stalls selling second hand, good quality clothing that will undoubtedly last another fifteen years? Obviously donations are only acceptable if they are from toast, boden or white stuff....no nasty primarni shite.

And we'll need a diagram for clarification
anotherneutralname · 20/03/2022 08:40

Adding Bra intervention tent for sure.

Extra points for children's category most blatantly completed by parent / out-sourced to a professional.

All cars must display a parking diagram on their dashboard, I think that's simplest.

The "wild geese" can be a scavenger hunt for the children, with the twist that one of the geese is missing. Then we can combine with "best performance parenting / least effective tantrum management".

Excellent. Now can anyone remember how to put up these trestle tables and switch on the urn?

Best pic of a teen’s floordrobe.

Best item of encrusted mouldy crockery that’s been under teen’s bed for 3 weeks. (I would have won this easily with the Ready Brek dried on like cement.)
Extra points for dried up apple cores/black banana skins in said item.

2018SoFarSoGreat · 20/03/2022 16:04

Can we please have a stand up comedy a set but with only reverse stories? Audience member who calls it first gets a biscuit 😊

Winterlight · 20/03/2022 16:25

Don’t forget we need a tent for Brian who’ll be generously offering his yoni massage services.

5thnonblonde · 20/03/2022 16:27

I’m happy to donate a chicken and then we can do free catering for at least 200 ppl

Girlwhowearsglasses · 20/03/2022 16:34

Can we have a sort of confession type booth with a grille and you go in and ask your ‘AIBU’ and a panel of us on the other side give contradictory answers

5thnonblonde · 20/03/2022 16:38

@Girlwhowearsglasses I think putting people in the stocks with rotten eggs in buckets to throw is closer to the real AIBU experience

disconnected1 · 20/03/2022 17:57

Can we please have a guess the redeeming feature competition for people to enter their DH into?? Perhaps the Daily Mail could sponsor the prize for this one Grin

BigUpAllOfUshereOnMN · 20/03/2022 21:18

For anyone not feeling well on the day of the show, we can have a panel of Mumsnetters to decide if the person should go to A&E or not

I think a pp might have already suggested a sporner corner, but I'd love to volunteer my services for the 1st aid tent.
Cysts, abscesses and large blackheads preferred Wink

anotherneutralname · 20/03/2022 23:07

I will bulk order the mag sulph for you.

Naicest ham.

Guess the number of portions you can get from this chicken.

Cheekiest fucker

And one where the contestants have 5 minutes to assemble a Workd Book Day outfit from the contents of a kitchen drawer and the laundry basket.
