Hello everyone. Any old timers around?

C’est moi, Le poisson

@ginslinger

I still put my divider on length ways at the supermarket - there was a thread about it and I can't remember what it was about but it became a secret signal

Secret signal

Or one to avoid??

yep - I"m probably that woman in Aldi

Testing ... testing

What are your opinions on school-run dresses oh fishy one?

@ThreeWiseWomen you are an icon!

Crikey, some blasts from the past here. I remember some of the truly amusing threads - anyone remember MitMoo??

I was SayCoolNowSayWhip formerly.

@ArtVandalay

Lol at Hamble from Playschool.

When posters were demonstrating they were not trolls, they’d authenticate themselves by saying ‘cube of poo, naice ham, tiny Korean lady… ’

My 19yo dd would not be happy to know here cubes of poo are still mentioned to this day

The "lighthearted" thing is an unfortunate development, along with the increasingly humourless attitude to spoofing/parody/anything that's actually funny.

Don't forget penis beaker

HELLO!!!!!!!

Still have my mumsnet scarf too. 2008ish joiner here too!

Penis Baker might have been funny to outsiders but I’d suggest that to us oldies it was a bit try hard, am I right?

I feel like it's been years since I last saw a thread moaning about quiches and/or royalty, didn't they used to be a weekly occurrence? That or people being accused of being bjullying bjitches.

Penis beaker feels recent

Cast your minds back to the high sift

Aitch was super helpful with BLW I was absolutely obsessed by that at the time. I also tried to make wnaky baskets, pine cones featured heavily.

Penis Beaker and Pom Bears were dull.

Bring back pirate sex and hamster stew. Even the trolls aren't as interesting.

We had some amazing trolls back in the day. The best trolls. Sisterwives sleeping in barns, people pretending to be celebs, i was agog

Sort of thing that appealed to pram huns I reckon

(that was a joke btw, I don't want to offend anyone of course, pram huns rock)

Chaos’s toaster thread.

And the time the work experience mod shut the site down on New Year’s Eve.

Someone pretending to be my cat for ages

You were kind to me in about 2004 when I'd had a shit day and shouted at my baby. And I loved your carefree typing.

Who remembers when we all bought chicken bricks?

I think because the penis beaker thread got picked up by the DM (& that was unusual then), it caused a huge influx of newbies.

MN was never the same after that.

I remember you Cod. I first joined in 2005 and then de- regged for a while after the hacking scandal. I now have changed username around eleventy billion times to stay anonymous.

Wotcha fish face!
